Failed my case,lied,manipulated,was late filing appeal for 1 day

I came to Khaja Din for firs consultation in 2003 and hired him to work on my VAWA petition .I was abused by my former husband for many years , who intentionally failed our immigration interviews, physically hurt me, and emotionally I was broken. Khaja Din discussed VAWA option for me . I informed K...haja Din that I am planning to file for divorce and asked whether it will help me or hurt me. Khaja Din answered that I can file for divorce, divorce will have no effect on VAWA petition. It was tragic mistake, it turned out later, as it prevented me from re-filing VAWA after Khaja Din lost my VAWA case. Khaja Din filed my appeal document for VAWA one day late. Khaja Din did not disclose that I was denied for almost 10 months, he was lying to me that is still pending. He avoided my phone calls, and refused to meet whit me. I paid Khaja Din over $20.000 . I was denied because appeal was received by one day late. Khaja Din gave me false promises and simply lied to me. Now I have lost my chance to fix my immigration status, lost many thousands which I paid to Khaja Din for his incompetent work, lost my Employment authorization , lost my job. Google him !

Only promises, no actions

I was a client of Mr. Din and my case was denied. He promised me that it will be okay and I kept paying ridiculous bills. Attorney is very unprofessional, you can never reach him. I was calling countless number of times. He would schedule an appointment and always would be late. He also smokes in his... office and curses a lot. I did not even know my case was denied because he did not bother to notify me. After I did not hear back from him for 2 weeks I told his secretary that I am not getting off the phone unless I am getting an update on my case. After that he finally gave me an update and my case was denied. Because he failed to notify me I could not even appeal the decision because 30 days had passed since denial notice. After that he offered me to file another case and asked for another ridiculous price. He claims that he takes care of complicated cases but honestly he is just a god sales person and makes you feel well. After his fiasco I went to a different lawyer and now my immigration situation is fixed.

Thank you khaja Din

I was in a mess with my visa process and long term goal of citizenship. I went to several lawyers but all refused my case. It was only Khaja Din came forward and said yes. He didnt gave up and was supportive throughout the case. He improvised and fixed a broken case. If he wasnt there I would have be...en deported over messed up case. He fixed it all. His staff on the other hand gave immense support and also helped me gain confidence to deal with nerve wrecking interview. Thank you so much khaja Din . You are one of the best lawyers. He can solve any case!

Astoundingly exceptional immigration attorney

My ex-spouse and I stayed together for less than a month and I was subjected to hardships by my in-laws. I was told if I did not do as they wished I would have my life ruined. I attempted to seek help from the consulate of the country I am from but they did not entertain me (I requested help from the...m on 4 different occasions). I even reached out to DHS and ICE but my attempts were in vain. Fortunately, I found Khaja Din through Avvo.com. When Khaja spoke to me he was extremely honest and open about what my options were. He decided to represent me and petition for a VAWA. Due to the extremely short marriage - my case was a colossal challenge but Khaja and his team at Din Law were astute, tactful, and meticulous at dealing with the available facts. Khaja and his team handled my case diligently and professionally. I was updated about the status of every step until I received my permanent resident card. The time from the date I hired Khaja until I received my PRC was 16 months. Over the years I have known Khaja I can say he is a passionate attorney who is ready to go the extra mile for his client. I would definitely recommend Khaja and Din law to anyone in need of help regarding immigration issues. Khaja and his team at Din law are a team that delivers what they promise.
