Highly recommended

Working on my immigration issue with Mr. Roger was a very pleasant experience, Mr. Roger is knowledgeable and professional and responds immediately to any questions or concerns you may have. I highly recommend Mr. Roger for any of your immigration needs.

Great Attorney to work with and I would highly recommend Mr. Rathi for any kind of immigration related documentation as he actively helped me out processing all my immigration documents.

Unprofessional and poor communication

I hired this lawyer after seeing good reviews. However, he failed to prove his professionalism and good communication with me. At first the rate was $1700, then it went up to $1800 for his paperwork and stuffs which is understandable. Then again he charged me $300 for joint sponsor. He didn't even... tell me before about this issue. Basically I was forced to pay this since I was in the middle of that case. Since my case was taking long, I was asking questions on every steps to make sure everything is alright. However, he barely reply my questions. He totally ignored my emails, messages. If I send 5 messages, I get one answer after a long period of time. Then one day, to my surprise this lawyer gave me a rude reply that I have never expected from him. That reply stops me sending message, email or any kind of further communication with them. He wrote: ""Dear Mr. Hasan: You have exceeded the number of questions allowed in your fee. You have made over 100 contacts with us. Many of your inquiries are not within the scope of our work and are unnecessary. If you going to go to USCIS website and make up questions, we are not prepared to answer them. Your case is being processed at a normal pace. All additional inquiries, questions, e-mails and phone calls will incur $20 charge each time (from now on). If you do not pay, we will withdraw from your case."" Well, he could tell me that in proper way. What kind of professionalism is that? Instead he threatened me with charging $20 for each message/email. He also threatened to withdraw the case. If you cannot answer/handle your client, you better change your profession. I paid you to answer my questions, understand? If I knew the process I would have been filed by my own. I wouldn't hire you. Then again when the case was approved he started to behave nicely. He texts and emails me almost everyday. At the end he begged me to give him a 5 star review. Unbelievable! You got this! This lawyer was good in the past but nowadays he became greedy, very poor at communication, take the case longer than expected. Find a better lawyer than him.

I am sorry you feel this way. I believe your case was completed much sooner than the time period posted by the USCIS on their website. And you have approval!! Congratulations. I will let the audience decide what they feel about your comments. Feel free to contact us if we can make things better for you in the future.

Best of the best !

Mr. Rathi helped me with my immigration process. He was always a phone call and a text message away. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail. I would highly recommend him.
