Unprofessional behavior.
Do not waste your time and money. Consultations are not free at all, they ask $150 (you need to pay through zelle). It's okay if you are able to get that amount of money proper consultation but not. I waited more than 30 minutes, and then faced a cold, unpleasant and unprofessional "lawyer".

Usual scammer
Do not pay money to this scammer. Totally useless and not recommended. Only askes for 150 USD for his consultation and do not provide any help.
