Heather Anisa Hadi Esq.

Terrible terrible exprerience across the board: 1. The receptionist was very rude and unprofessional. She called us a little earlier before our consultation appointment to reschedule. When we went in for our new appointment, she was staring at us as if we have landed from another planet. No greetin...g, no smile, just a puzzled look as if she was not expecting our visit or we came at a VERY wrong time . . That was a very confusing and odd moment. Of course, when we checked in, she did not mind taking our money before the consultation ( this in itself was a first timer for me, but this was not the worse part). Even with our new appointment, she kept us waiting for a good 45 minutes. Simply put, she was rude, unwelcoming, and unprofessional. 2. The attorney was not helpful at all: she did not provide any helpful information you would expect to receive during a consultation visit. We went to seek advice about employment-based adjustment of status. She did not explain the process or the options we have. Worse, we felt misinformed after we left her office. For example, it took my husband a simple google search to get the right information about the Form I-693 ( the physical examination document), at what points in the process it can be submitted, its validity and expiration, and such. To end the meeting, this attorney said that she does not take cases of immigration on the basis of work anymore ( I am glad she said that because obviously she did not have a clue). BUT, in this case, shouldn't she give instructions to her front-desk person to ask clients for the purpose of their visit prior to scheduling the appointment, to determine whether or not their case falls within her field of expertises/preference?? I can't believe we went through this hell and had to pay the consultation fee to be told that she doesn't take such cases. I feel like this was such a waste of time and money. The entire experience was frustrating and humiliating! Happy ending: We are glad that we found another attorney who is very respectful, considerate, and knowledgeable. His staff were all very professional, well trained, and kind. The difference between both experiences was like day and night.

We decided to consult with this attorney for an immigration matter after reading some of her online reviews and ratings. Please note that we have since learned some of those reviews and ratings are not actual clients but instead friends and family members. She was pleasant and seemed to know what ...she was talking about. However, after consulting with a few more lawyers, we learned that the advice she gave us was wrong. We ended up hiring someone with far more experience. Nothing against her personally but a good attorney should not need to post phony reviews and should know the law.

I’ve known Heather personally for a few years now. She is very smart, kind, dependable, and cares about her clients. She is a very good communicator and has translators in her office for Spanish speaking clients. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an attorney to help navigate the con...fusing process of immigration or any other legal needs.
