Rude, unprofessional and Negligent Layer

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this firm and would not recommend them to anyone. Communication was a consistent issue, follow-ups were difficult to get, inquiries went unanswered, and the attorney was often unresponsive. The bulk of the work was delegated to staff who appeared overwhelm...ed, which led to delays and missed filings. The staff member, Amalfi, who I worked with frequently provided inaccurate information and, when errors occurred, the blame was redirected to the client rather than taking accountability. This is unacceptable in a legal setting where the stakes are high. Before engaging this firm, I strongly encourage anyone to do a simple Google search for Charles Cui, my attorney, and make your own informed decision based on what you find. If you want your case handled with professionalism, accuracy, and timely attention, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. I would leave fewer than one star if the option were available.

Scam

Very unprofessional, he did not put attention in the case, he only put attention on the money. We explained our situation to him and he made it seem so easy on how to get what we wanted. Months later he was asking for information he already had and tried to give us another solution and asking for mor...e money with the first attempt going no where. My husband lost $2,500 dollars.

the trustworthy and reliable lawyer

If I could award 10 stars to Charles Cui, I would do! I contacted Charles Cui by referral from his client in the past. Charles helped me to obtain my permanent residency based on EB/NIW application. From the first consulting meeting to the end, Charles and his team demonstrated a very proactive, resp...onsive, and responsible attitude. Throughout the whole process, they were very specific regarding documentation, procedures, timeframe, etc. They continuously kept me updated on the progress of my application. Within the expected timeframe, my application has been approved. Later, in December 2018 I attended the interview and obtained my Green Card. It was a wonderful and delightful experience to work with Charles and his team. Highly professional, knowledgable and experienced lawyer. Strongly recommended.

Overall good lawyer, ought to hire new staff though

Charles is nice, helped with my greed card, the whole process from the consultation through filing and finally the interview, everything went smooth. He responds to email quick and gets things done fast. His price is reasonable compared to other attorneys in town. What I really had problem is with... his front desk. I went there 6 times, and every time that lady found a way to mess things up. I always made appointments ahead of time, but that lady would let walk ins take my spot, right when I'm literally standing next to the front desk. She once didn't call and cancel my appointment when the lawyer wasn't available. Very rude, never apologized for her mistakes, and literally hung up on me once when I didn't even finish my sentence on making appointment. I recommended my friend to Charles for green card service, he was also satisfied with how fast all the team acted, and how smooth the process went, however, he also had problems with the front desk.

Green card

My wife and I are extremely happy with the work Mr. Charles Cui did for us filing EB-2 petition. He was very professional, knowledgeable, always available to take my call to answer any concerns or questions we have, very responsive with emails as well without any additional charge. He did a fantasti...c job, walked us through the whole process in a professional and expert manner. Got our green card in 9 months! Can't go wrong with Mr. Charles Cui. I would recommend to anyone.
