Unprofessional lawyer

I'll start the review off by saying that with all of the hassles that he put my wife and I through, the final immigration decision ended on a positive note (Green Card received) and that's the only reason I'm giving him 2 stars. With that being said, his general unprofessional behavior is what prompt...ed me to write this review. I've outlined a few instances below: 1. Late 30 minutes during the initial consultation 2. Never informed us of paralegal's departure in the middle of our case (our main point of contact) 3. Verbally abused via email (He accidentally included me on an email to the Law firm that contracted his services and "bad-mouthed" me) 4. Green card application incomplete - His firm omitted crucial evidence that supported my marriage (pictures and a lease). 5. Unprepared during final green card interview - When getting probed by the Visa official, he indicated that I was a student (which I was not). This led to further confusion that I had to address with the Visa official. I have more examples of his poor handling of my case, but based on the money that was spent to retain his services I would not recommend Jesus. I am happy to provide more context to anyone who needs it along with proof, so please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
