negligence at its best

Maybe when somebody has an easy case, this lawyer can help but... I lost more than a year waiting for NOTHING because instead of filing i-130 first, and then i-485, or at least together, he filed i-485 and only after a year plus he decides to file i-130. After asking why he didn't file those forms ...the right way and time, as the response, you get an unpleasant attitude, pretty much telling you are nobody in this country. He hires unprofessional assistants who make lots of mistakes on top of that. People think because he is an American citizen who speaks Russian, would help them a lot, but that's a huge mistake I've made and paid for it with my time and money. I ended up hiring another attorney who really helped me. My best advice - DO YOUR RESEARCH before hiring somebody!

I don't believe it..

Huge surprise to me to see this negative comments..Mr. Newcomb was my lawyer 15 years ago. I didn't have any problems during naturalization process. He help me a lot with all my questions. He was able to go to my interview. He provided outstanding service. Thanks again to be around in stressful... time

AVOID

Avoid his office 20 miles away. His unprofessional staff will mess your case. I made a mistake by hiring him. Me myself without any legal knowledge could have filed my case 100 times better than they did. I don't know how many hundreds of years of experience he has as stated in the comments, but that... office has no expertise in what they do. Period!

Avoid if you can

Very polite first until gets paid. Then shows attitude and charges for every meeting. Unprofessional staff too. It is better not to have them vs having them. No help whatsoever. Waste of money and nerves. Moving my naturalization case to someone else.

It is unfortunate to hear this, although unclear who the person is. We have been in business nearly 18 years with literally hundreds of clients. From time to time a client requests additional services which would incur an additional service fee.

extremely unprofessional, lack of knoweledge

extremely displeased with him, very polite until he gets paid, then show the attitude, very unprofessional and very rude, missed meetings, never returns phone calls, one of the worst experiences i've had with an attorney. waste of money and time. moving my naturalization case to someone else.

This is not a real review. It is from disgruntled ex-employee fired for doing illegal notario work on the side for a friend. Our office has been in operation for nearly 18 years and has a high reputation for quality and dedication for service. It would be absurd to be in business this long with all of the accusations in this review. For real client referrals, my office will be happy to provide these.
