Worst experience ever
DO NOT hire this firm. It was my worst decision. You will never talk to her again after the 1st meeting. The team doesn't even know anything about law. The paralegals I went through 4 different people in less than 2 years. Lost my case all they care is money. Venezolanos no hagan el asilo con ella....
