Outstanding Immigration Lawyer

I cannot thank Marsha Francis enough for her outstanding support and guidance throughout my immigration case. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. She took the time to explain every step of the process, an...swered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt informed and confident throughout the entire journey. Her attention to detail and expertise in immigration law were evident, and she handled my case with utmost care and professionalism. Thanks to Marsha K Francis's hard work and persistence, my case was successfully resolved, and I am greatful. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your future, I highly recommend Marsha K Francis. Thank you again for everything.

Pleased

Marsha was absolutely great. She was patient although there was multiple people to assist. She took her to explain to me what I could do and advised me what I should do she was extremely pleasant and personable!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

I had a very disappointing experience with this attorney. She is rude, inconsiderate, and clearly doesn’t have any desire to do her job properly. Every time she calls me, she has an attitude before I even have the chance to speak, and she constantly interrupts and talks over me. When I try to ask her... to let me finish speaking, she responds with remarks like “don’t talk to me like that,” which feels very unprofessional and dismissive. She was court-appointed by a judge who knew that I was no longer living in Georgia, yet she told me that there was nothing she could do and insisted that I needed to return to Georgia. This was frustrating, especially since the issue had already been cleared with the judge. Overall, I felt like she treated me as though I was already guilty and approached my case with a lack of empathy and understanding. It was as if she only saw me as what was written on paper, rather than as a human being. If you want a lawyer who genuinely cares about you and your case, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Don’t waste your time with someone who lacks compassion and dedication to their clients.

Ms. Cherry, unfortunately for you, anyone who reads this review can tell not only that you are venting, but also the type of person that you are. One thing all my clients know about me, is that I am very compassionate and caring and work as hard as I can for them. I didn't meet you in person and after my very limited contact with you and how rude and disrespectful you were on all occasions except email (and that’s probably because you didn’t respond), I immediately in writing, withdrew from your case. Even then, I intended on sending you an email out of courtesy to let you know, but since you decided it was best to come on here and tell lies and untrue stories about me, even in the face of you lying to me about your knowledge of things involving your own case, then here is where you will find that out. Also unfortunate for you, is the fact that there are just some things that by law, no one can bypass in order to help some clients because of the decisions those clients chose to make in the past. You should probably pause and stop and ask yourself, “Why am I here?” and then you’ll probably realize that it is your own doing and when someone is appointed to help you navigate your own trials, that you should not only be truthful about how you got there and about your case, but also show some respect and appreciation for what they are trying to do to help you. Everything you have said about me in your review is exactly what you did, saying that I did them isn’t going to change that fact. Luckily for me, I communicated that to the relevant parties before I discovered this review here today. With that said, I still do wish you the best in your case and trust that you will find someone “more compassionate” to help you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
