Professional, honest, trustworthy

Today I got my Green Card and couldn't keep my tears. It was a long roller coster journey for me. 14 years ago I got to USA, overstayed my visa, with no language and no knowledge of local immigration laws didn't file asylum in my first year. I was married to US citizen but things didn't worked ou...t and we got divorced. Later I got a terrifying letter from USCIS about deportation. It was a very frustrating period of my life, I hardly saw a light at the end of the tunnel, there were not many options for me... That's when I found attorney Mercer Cauley in Charlotte NC. He was professional, easy going, respectful, caring, always willing to answer any questions I had. He was always well prepared and knew all possible outcomes of any interview or meeting that we had. There was always a plan, next step on what to do next even when I had a bad news. I am very thankful for guidance and support and fighting for me and my case! I am still in a little shock. Something that was so far away is finally in my hand. There are some scammers out there who promise you fast and easy legalization with no hassle. Don't believe it. What sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Don't waste your money or time on shady people who claim being a lawyer without license. Go with someone reliable, professional, friendly, available to answer your questions, punctual, always by your side when you need it. All of these qualities describe Mercer Cauley and his team. They also have different payment plans for their services and more affordable rates than many other lawyers. So yes, I would recommend his firm very much. Looking forward on becoming a US Citizen in 3 years! Good luck on your immigration journey! "Don't loose HOPE when it gets dark stars will come out"

Knowledgeable Lawyer

Mr. Cauley was very professional and knowledgeable. He took on my case after I was deported and advised me and helped move my case along until I was approved for my permanent residence. Any time I had a question or concern he was there by either email, or conference call. I would recommend his servic...es to anyone looking for a reliable and honest lawyer.

Green Card Restored.

What a great Lawyer Cauley is.I thought i had a hopless case for 7 years, i was out of status, my Lawyers in New York and New Jersey could not fight and win my case for me but my hope was restored when i relocated to Durham and consulted with Mr Cauley, after i sat with him and he assured me he win... my case.My Green Card was Recinded and i was placed on Deportation. The Cauley firm started work on my case.They used all the immigration law to fight my case.I was always in court to witness how vast and knowledgeable Mr Cauley was when he stood before the judge fighting my case .I had lost my case in the lower court, i thought it was over but he promised to win it in the Immigration Borad of Appeal.He quickly prepared all documents for my appeal together and forwarded it to IBA. The IBA agreed with Mr Cauley and my Green Card was restored to me and i am on my way to become a citizen of this great country. I can now happily live my American dream with my family, no more deportation. I will greatly recommend anyone with immigration issues no matter how complex it is to the Cauley Law Firm.I am a testimony,i have used Lawyers who could not win it for me.If you want you case resolved i plead with you to go to The Cauley Law Firm.
