Tammy Fox-Isicoff

I've had a few experiences with different attorneys, who I felt 'stole' money by manipulating me to spend money to do certain things that were not going to happen. Although Tammy is not the cheapest out lawyer in the Miami area, I believe she is money well spent! She is very easy to get a hold of (v...ia email) which I actually prefer, as I can have record of every conversation and can go back and re-read, etc. She is very straightforward and unlike a lot of attorneys, she tells it like it is, regardless of whether or not it will make you happy/unhappy. My husband and I had a tough case, but that didn't stop Tammy! I had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her and her associate Anabel.

Dealing with Tammy was a very good experience. I had been in the U.S. for a great deal of time unlawfully, while my asylum application was pending. My wife obtained her residence through employment and I had to leave the country to get my immigrant visa. Tammy explained to me exactly what would happe...n and that I would be delayed at the consulate at least 6 months. When the Consulate wasn't responsive, she didn't give up. She stayed on top of my case and I never felt stranded though I was alone, without my wife, in a country far away. I did get my visa and returned to the U.S. thanks to Tammy. Dealing with her restored my confidence in the legal profession. She is honest and tells you the way it really is, even if you don't like it, you can't fault her for that. It is refreshing.

She is the best attorney I have ever worked with. There was no b.s. She didn't try to "steal" my money-she told me the way it is and that was the way it was. She was honest almost to a fault. She charges extra for personal apperances (by the hour), and tells you what to expect in terms of personal a...ppearances (how many will be required). She explained that there are a number of immigration offices all around Miami and that if a non-court personal appearance is scheduled, she or one of her partners or associates would handle it, depending on who was assigned to cover whatever office that day. She even took the time to explain that the only reason that someone would not be with me is if they had a car accident on the way to the interview. Ironically, she told me that had just happened with one of her clients. Whenever I had a question, she got back to me almost instantly. Yes, often in all caps, but I was grateful for the rapid response. I would highly recommend her. I knew that I was in good hands throughout my process.

Tammy handled my Adjustment of status thru marriage. The whole experience 0 to 10 = 5.5 . (May be lower) Reasons: 1. Not the friendliest . If you look for warmth this is not your lawyer .She could care less about what you think . 2. Hard to get in touch . Lucky to get her on the phone and not t...he assistant .Prepare to receive one sentences emails reply(all in caps) from her also. 3.Deceiving.At the first interview..She would tell you that would go with you to the USCIS interview (to get your business) when in reality one of her "replacement" lawyers would go instead (You will find this a few days before your interview with immigration.) 4. Lucky if that "replacement" lawyer would show up to your interview ....Mine didnt. We paid her 350 dollars in advance and her lawyer was nowhere to be found at interview time . We went in USCIS by ourselves. (Then We have to call her office and email a few times to "remind them" to get this money back). 5. Expensive .Be ready to show some green. We were approved without her lawyer anyways , but i would not hire this attorney if i would have a second chance. Do research ....lots of research before hiring this lawyer.There are tons of other attorneys that would do the same for half the price.
