REVIEW

We hired Atty. Hu on 2012, At first he asked us to give him all the documents, so we gave him what he needs but then it's been 6 months when we asked him about the letter from the immigration which if you filed something they will respond, but he kept telling us the he will mail it until he called u...s asking for money that he said that he need to get expedite so we send him the check for $3,000.00... A year later he called us and said he went out of country and he received another letter from the immigration that we need to pay the visa for my bother and sister's family ($2,000 for each family) so $4,000.00 so we gave him the money again because we really want our family to be together as soon as possible. After that we keep calling him and leaving him a voicemail about the updates but never get back to us as well as his secretary Karolina that we know that she also know what the atty. is up to... Until one time we went to his office to personally talk to him and the receptionist said they have not seen the atty. for long time. We have worked hard for that money for our family how can someone like him do this to us.

Attorney Hu helped me tremendously

I was referred to Attorney Hu by a close friend who recently had her green card filed. My friend knew I was having trouble finding a competent lawyer after speaking to a number of them in the area. Although my case was much different than hers, my experience with his service was the same -- EXCELLENT...! Shawn was very professional, understanding, and prompt with my needs. I almost felt as if he were a family member with the concern, empathy, and effort he put forth to handle my case. I will certainly recommend him to my family and friends, and will, without a doubt, give him a ring again if I need such services again. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for his work, especially having dealt with a handful of other lawyers in the city with unpleasant experiences . Hope you get a chance to read this, Shawn! Thank you!

Satisfactory

I hired Attorney Hu to file for a green card for my wife. I dealt mostly with his employee Karolina, who was very professional and very courteous. She kept us informed about our case throughout the process and when it was necessary we spoke with Attorney Hu directly. Overall Attorney Hu did a good... job and I would recommend his work to others.

UNSATISFACTORY

Hired Shawn last year to file my wifes I-485 and I-795. He never filed the I-130 which to my understanding is automatic and a must. It takes me calling him several times before he answers in order for me to get any update on my case which is never much information. Ill leave him several voicemails an...d messages with his secretary and he never returns calls. It is now going on a year since we began our ordeal and we have yet to get our interview done and once again he has gone out of the country and can't be reached. I understand that lawyers have horrendous schedules and many cases but his service and attention to clients has been HORRENDOUS at best. the only reason I am still sticking wiht it is because I have already paid him all the fees and I do not wish to start back from square one wiht a new lawyer.
