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.

Most professional attorney I've ever met.

He is real professional. First he understand client's situation and give best answer every time. Most relievable. Very responsive and fast when he need to move. I will definitely recommend Charles and his staff any body looking for professional service.

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.

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
