Case closed

It has been a new and very effective experience. Ms. Kumala is very professional, although she is not Hispanic, she knows how to handle deportation cases. In my case, she managed to close it, that's why I recommend her. thank you very much Ms Kamala.

100 Percent Professional

Attorney Kamala Sessoms represented me and my family in a U-Visa case. For me Attorney Sessoms was always honest and kind. She was always on top of things in my case and helping me and my family in all the processes we had to do. She was very professional. Every time we had any questions or doubts sh...e was always available to help us. Her team was always very courteous and they always were ready to help. We (my family) received a very good treatment from everyone at her office and Ms. Sessoms.

U-visa Approved

Attorney Sessoms helped me with a DUI, which placed me in deportation proceedings, I also had a criminal charge of possession of Marijuana less than 3 ounces and I also applied for a U-Visa. She has represented me in Immigration Court and I am now waiting for my case to be closed with the Atlanta Imm...igration Court so that I will no longer be deported. All of my criminal charges have been resolved and I am not in jail and my U-Visa was approved! I am very happy with Attorney Sessoms. She was very helpful. The results are great! Now, I have a work permit and I am very happy. She was very professional very helpful. I would recommend her for any case. I want to give her thanks for all her help.
