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

Scam

They scammed a family out of $10,000 and never sent in the immigration forms. Check out the story it’s so sad https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ewV7WP/. It’s sad that they felt like they can ignore them and it’s ok. So beware.

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.

Don't recommend her

I was told my husband could get his residence since he was in mexico when we went to Juarez they gave him a 10 year bar I called them and they told me not to worry they were going to send a waiver so I thought they had for almost 6 months they told me just to wait for an answer but when I decided to ...go to their office I found out they didn't send the waiver and that he wasn't approved for one so for 6 months they had me thinking everything was going to be fine. When I was talking to one of the lawyers she didn't even let me talk I wanted to explain to her what others told me in their office but she kept telling me theirs no way he could get a waiver. She just didn't even let me talk. So now I'm waiting for a refund they just made me waste my money.
