A very helpful and friendly person to deal with

Charles has bee an absolute delight to work with over the years (7 years). He has handled all my immigration needs from H1B application to renewal to Green card processing, AP processing etc. In all occasions he has been very responsive, friendly, responsible and reasonable with charges and fees. I ...could not have found a better lawyer to deal with. He did not act hard to reach or pricey with me and I had no hesitation in calling him up even for smallest of issues.

Got Green Card!

Charles was very responsible and reliable and I basically followed his instructions for every step. I changed jobs and did many renewals and he was always right on time. There were no surprises and things fall into place despite the long waiting for the priority date.

NOT A PROFESSIONAL LAWYER

I hope he loses his license. Even if you have a straightforward case, he WILL mess it up. That's what he did to our case. We lost more than 2,000 dollars. Very rude in his interactions, Has absolutely no immigration law knowledge. You are better off presenting your case than go to him. If there was a... legal recourse to sue him, I would have. He would actualy threat you if you try to contact him. Never seen that in any professional. Only mistake we did was his fees were little less in the beginning.But, you will end up paying much more than if you go to a normal attorney. Stay away and only recommend him to your worst enemy. We stayed year in half with him just for our marriage papers this is a easy thing to do that i dont need a lawyer but i thought that he was good he said there will be no interview for our case and my husband will get the green card in the court. So we said ok and after all he said no I DONT GO TO COURTS. we did not know that he said that we need to fund a another lawyer all of my papers were denied with him.So after all I found the best professional lawyer and he did all of my marriage papers and new my husband have the green card his name is RICHARD i hope no one go to Charles.

you are a not reasonable client, and not a reasonable person. Over the years, I am blessed with so many wonderful clients. Seeing them achieving their American dream and settling in this new land, that's my motivation and joy of being an immigration lawyer. You retained me originally to transfer your husband's deportation case to Chicago Immigration Court, after you had "bad" experience with some lawyers in Detroit, MI. Of our sympathy, I charged you $400 to file motion to change venue and successfully moved your husband's case to Chicago Immigration court. I successfully had your husband's I-130 approved. I referred you some other immigration attorneys who may represent your husband for deportation case, because of my busy sechedule. What else you expect from me? This is a free country, not Iraq. But you still need to know what's resonableness and common courtesy. I hope you and your husband find peace and prosperity in this free country, rather than hatred and victim mentality

good lawyer

I was shocked clients writing comments about Mr. Charles Cui. My experience is quite opposite. I received my permanent residence via employer sponsor in just 8 months. His fee is reasonable, and he always answer my emails and phone calls. He is polite and courteous. If those people have issues, they ...sure should report to State Bar, rather than writing rude comments yourself. How many attorneys were dis-bared or disciplined? Check Mr. Cui's background with State Bar of Michigan. Based on my research, he has clean record, pure as water. Any att

He is an awful lawyer. He is stubburn and incompetent to the core. His paperwork filing sucks. No one and I mean no one should deal with Charles Hua Cui.

I use my own judgment and legal knowledge to present the cases. You may agree or not agree with me. But I'll try my best efforts. Please note clients who are not happy with my practice do have the forum to file complaints to State Bar. For my case, it is State Bar of Michigan http://www.michbar.org/, phone: (800) 968-1442.
