Client

I hired this lawyer for my husband who was bipolar. Usual issues with the law enforcement agency who keep taking him to jail instead of hospital. Immigration came after him one time. I hired this lawyer. Paid her 4000 dollars. I was/am a poor hard working wife/mother and borrowed money to pay her. No...thing happened for a long time and my husband started to get worse thinking he will be deported. So I called the lawyer and at that point she told me the immigration never filed the case. WOW. And she kept all the money for taking care of that imaginary case that never went to immigration court.

The last time we represented your husband on his immigration matter was over 5 years ago and you've never raised any concerns directly with us since retaining our firm. Due to Attorney-Client confidentiality rules, we can not discuss the case details publicly. However, as you are aware, the only reason immigration authorities did not pursue deportation proceedings against your husband was due to our efforts to protect him. Given his medical issues, we convinced immigration officials not to place him in removal proceedings. We managed to get him prosecutorial discretion so ICE did not lodge a Notice to Appear for him with the immigration court. We ask that you contact our office directly so we can resolve all your concerns and clarify your understanding of the deportation process. We remain committed to assisting all our clients to the very best of our ability in compliance with applicable laws.

Unknown lawyer | Jan 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly recommend Shilpa Malik to any person (client or fellow attorney) with an immigration law issue. Shilpa assisted me with a challenging immigration law matter, including a discretionary issue that could have gone either way, depending upon how it was handled. She resolved the matter successfully and showed great mastery of the relevant laws and issues, including the ones that weren't apparent from the face of the regulations, but require deep hands on experience to understand. In addition to this, she treated me at all times the way a client or colleague would wanted to be treated. She responded promptly to questions, communicated any limitations on her schedule effectively, and was well-prepared for conference calls."
