No confien en esta abogada

La verdad esta señora se queda con el dinero de sus clientes te dice que te va ayudar pero en realidad. Ella se queda con tu dinero luego no te contesta y solo te dicen que no te pueden representar

Margaret Donnelly me mas de 20 mil dolares

Margaret Donnelly stole my money, plain and simple. I went through the entire application process and she sent it to USCIS. For 2 years I was praying for my application to be accepted. One day I received a package in the mail from USCIS. I was so excited to open it, only to find out that this poor ex...cuse of a lawyer didn't actually send my application for 2 years and it was denied for being incomplete. She ignored all my calls, voicemails, and refused to see me when I went in-person. Please stay away from her. $20k and 2 years of waiting was for nothing. She's truly a terrible human being taking advantage of vulnerable people. --- Complete mis documentos con Margaret Donelly y despues ella los mando a la oficina de immigracion. Por años, oré para que mi solicitud fuera aceptada. Un día recibí un paquete por correo y mire que era de USCIS. Estaba tan emocionado de abrirlo, solo para descubrir que esta pobre excusa de abogada en realidad no habia enviado mi papeleo por 2 años. El paquete era una notificacion que fui negado por mandar la aplicacion incompleta. Ignoró todas mis llamadas y mensajes de voz y se negó a verme cuando fui en persona. $20,000 y 2 años de espera a la basura.

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.

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.
