Attorney at taking vulnerable client’s money

Glorily was my H1B visa attorney few years ago, and it was one of the worst experiences I had to go through during a stressful time. First, her consultation fees were almost as much as the ENTIRE cost of the H1B visa application at a much more competent law firm in the area. She literary printed page...s from the USCIS website to tell me information that I already knew, and not only that, she actually charged for printing papers. horrible! horrible firm! When you are going through stressful time, and you see someone who is suppose to be helping you (Glorily in this case), is taking advantages of you by doing nothing except for sending you bills, the trust dies immediately but nonetheless, my case was not her priority anyway, only money. of course it failed in the end! I didn't get the visa and she couldn't care less. every time I ask her a question about my case, she gets defensive! something I will make sure to use when I file a complaint about it. my company hated working with her, they felt stuck since we started the process but they were waiting for the time to run away from her. If you need immigration help, I strongly recommend you not to come here! you need a lawyer who cares about you, and cares about your case, not someone that all they care about is charging you. To summarize it here, She eventually got paid much more A LOT for a failed case and do you know what was her recommendation after her work failed??? Marry my girlfriend and get the papers through her :D :D how crazy is this! anyway, I ended up getting my visa the following year from a nearby law firm for less than 1/5 of what she took for my failed case. Do NOT come here!

Ms. Glorily Lopez is an brilliant lawyer!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Attorney Glorily Lopez since 2014, after I first contacted her office to help my mother and I with our U.S. citizenship applications. That very year, we became naturalized U.S. citizens. Our experience with Attorney Lopez has been excellent. She patiently listens to... a client, seeks information by asking great questions, has thorough knowledge about immigration laws and policies, conducts in-depth legal research to provide a client with accurate information, and is very swift in responding to time-sensitive requests or to answer an urgent question. Furthermore, Attorney Lopez gets clients from many countries, with different ethnic backgrounds, and people who speak various languages. She makes everyone feel very comfortable and gains their confidence, while helping them navigate the immigration system. Choosing the right lawyer to help with citizenship application may very well be one of the most important decisions in a person's life. My mother and I are very happy that we chose Attorney Glorily Lopez.

Didn't do what we paid her to do.

My wife had a uphill battle with obtaining her Green Card so we hired Glorily. Much to our dismay she never fulfilled what she claimed she could do or would do to help us with our case. I attended a signing meeting with my wife and all Glorily did was critique the header of a characte...r reference letter we prepared. Glorily also wanted the letter formatted a certain way that she never specified. All things she could have mentioned to avoid duplicative work on our part and billing on her part. The above is just one of a few examples of how the initial $4,000 deposit we paid was wasted away with these remedial, administrative tasks. We essentially paid for a glorified proof reader. Eventually we left Murphy Desmond and found another, knowledgeable lawyer to take over our case.

Very professional

Glorily is my first call when i need immigration advice, I first met Glorily when she helped me and my family 4 years ago, what i liked about her is the fact that she always finds a simple way to explain things, she's honest, professional and energetic, he rates in my opinion are very reasonable.. an...d many of my clients are business owners and they all are happy with her.

Client review.

Glorily Lopez was helping me with my I-360 and I-485 application to adjust my status to lawful permanent residence in the United States. I am really pleased with the outcome and handling of the case. Glorily is very knowledgeable and experienced attorney. She has plenty of patience and provides very ...clear explanation on any questions I had. I will grandly recommend Glorily Lopez to my friends or anybody who needs to have a very professional immigration attorney.
