No tiene ética ni escrúpulos

Yo entre con visa de turista y fui con ella por que traía mi título de programadora de computadoras. Le pagué $3500 y después de meses solo me dijo que lo sentía pero ella puso los documentos en el correo el último día que yo tenía permiso con mi visa y así que aunque cumplía con todos los requisitos... para el cambio de estatus no podía por que ya no tenía estatus de turista. Aparte de eso no me quiso dar copia de mis documentos para ir con otro abogado, decía que si los quería le tenía que pagar $3500 más como que hubiera ganado el caso. Yo apenas iva llegando al país, no tenía dinero y pasaron años para que fuera con otro abogado y me dijera que solo la amenazara con acusarla con la Barra de Abogados por que eso era ilegal y en ese momento me dio copia de todo. Pero ya había pasado mucho tiempo y me quedé indocumentada con un título universitario en una gaveta. AGASEN UN FAVOR Y NO VAYAN CON ELLA. ES DE LO PEOR.

Negligence

I hired this lawyer to work on my case, I was here illegally and I filed my petition through my U.S. born father. Every time I asked for updates, employees from this office would tell me there was nothing we could do but wait, so we waited. After my father passed, they told me my petition was dead an...d I had no other options. Now years later, I come to find out my petition was approved back in 2004. And even though I wasn't able obtain residency through my father the initial paperwork will be of use when I petition through my daughter. Margaret Donnelly's office did not inform me of this even after I repeatedly asked if there could be any other options for me in the future. This was negligence at its' finest and this attorney doesn't care for her client's well-being, she just wants as much money as she can get. Beware.

Who Knew

My brother in law went to see Mrs. Donnelly and was told that she could help him. Well, he signed a contract and the next time he saw her, she told him that due to his traffic tickets that she could not help. When he asked for his money back, she told him that there is a no refund policy. Now he is o...ut his money.

Worst Attorney Ever

A year ago I went to see Mrs. donnelly and was promised that she would get my wifes papers. A month ago I received a letter from Immigration let us know that due to mistakes in her paper work she is dined. When I told Donnelly what had happen she refused to see us or offer help.
