Fee is high but not worth it..
I met her at the office in early 2005 to discuss about my case. I was divorced and living with my child who was American citizen. She offend me apply for asylum and get the green card. I have no idea how this things will go. She seems nice lady and signed the contract. Once the asylum case denied, sh...
Thank you so much for your review. The Green Card process is long and hard, and not everyone who tries gets one. But there are so many avenues, you have to remain positive. Each case is so unique, and every office of the Department of Homeland Security is run so differently, that there's no telling exactly how a case will result. We win almost all the cases we take on. That's very high. Most firms see somewhere between a 50 percent and 80 percent success rate. But we win more cases because we have over 35 years’ experience in U.S. Immigration law. Only by doing a high volume of work across the country can a good firm both see trends to see how the different offices of Department of Homeland Security perform. The best way to keep you in the US legally is with a work authorization that is obtained legally, a driver’s license, and a social security number so you can file your taxes. Margaret W. Wong & Associates does a lot of high risk, high impact litigation work with the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice attorneys to help our clients, and have precedent-setting cases at the Board of Immigration Appeals, district courts and circuit court levels. Each effort to take your case to another path and to another court level requires a separate contract, which is a requirement of Bar rules. This means we are still in the game and you are not being deported and the system is not shooting us down and we are not losing our battle. If you need a second opinion, ask another lawyer -- and recognize the right of the attorney to refuse to pursue your case. We care about every single one of our clients, and your complaint is no different -- we call right away and respond to every single call for help. And when we can explain something on that phone call, we do. But if we cannot, we tell our clients that we will call them back after we review their case -- not recalling your case when you call is a good sign -- it simply means we help thousands of people, and to have an effective call means we have to review your case. Good attorneys are doing a high volume of work across the country. Certainly, we remember lots of cases, but we may have three -- or even thirty -- we're working on today that are just like yours, and we want to speak with you with your case fresh on our minds. Please call and schedule a phone conversation so we can review your file, and have a conversation.

Worst Immigration lawyer for my life
I gave was not my 42B case to her seven years ago by paying $12,000. She took my case and I have two different lawyer who handled my case. During last seven years, they never informed me how the process going. They only called me couple of days before Hearing and asking for all kind of documents. W...
Reading your comments has really hurt my feelings. I do not think that your comments accurately represent our seven-year relationship. Although I cannot disclose confidential details of your immigration case under our professional code of conduct, I must note that our firm faithfully assisted you in staying in the United States and obtaining employment authorization over the course of seven years. However, over these seven years we also endured relentless complaints and requests for guaranteed results. As you know, it is ethically impermissible for us to guarantee an outcome in any immigration case. I would also note that while we contacted you on multiple occasions prior to the hearing you mentioned in your review, you did not take our firm advice with regard to gathering the evidence necessary to prevail in your case. Prior to the end of our attorney-client relationship, you again demanded a guaranteed result and free legal work. As you know, no attorney can make such a guarantee. Because I felt sorry for you, I offered you a very substantial refund of your fees, which you accepted (and thus, the amount you mentioned above is not accurate). I chose to end our relationship because your actions toward this firm’s attorneys and staff became threatening and abusive. Please keep in mind that obtaining lawful permanent residency in the United States is a privilege, not a right. As a reminder, many immigration benefits are time-sensitive, so you should seek another immigration lawyer as soon as possible. I wish you the best of luck with your immigration case.

Run from this attorney
Margaret Wong lied to me about my immigration status, lied to USCIS on my application, which she changed after I signed the papers. She will tell you whatever you want to hear, but not the truth about immigration law. If the case gets denied she will somehow "loose" all the documents to cover her wro...
I feel very bad about this. You can even call me directly at my cell 216 952 8419 and I will make it right for you. I will go to the edge of the mountain to find your file and make it right.

REVIEW
My family and I met this attorney in the 90's and she suggested several different ways to be able to obtain a green card. We trusted her because she seemed honest. We found out the hard way that all she was after is our money, which we didn't have much of having just immigrated to the US. She took mo...
I have been watching my cell and even carry it to the shower and bathroom runs. I have not heard from anyone of you who are complaining about me. As lawyers and members of the bar, you cannot help you or do right if I don't even know who you are. Please connect w me so I don't have to be constantly worried about these cases. These complaints hurt my feelings. Please email or call me. I will get to the bottom of this.

REVIEW
Attorney Wong filed a green card application on my behalf. She told me that she will personally handle my case, because she's the best attorney in town. She also told me her fees are high, but "you get what you pay for". I believed her. Later I found out that she threw my application to paralega...
How are you? My feelings are hurt. I have not heard back from you. Please call me on my cell # 216 952 8419 or work # 216 566 9908.
