Todo el personal es muy amable y servicial

Conocí al Sr. Petty hace 8 años, cuando ayudó a mi mamá y papá a obtener la residencia. Él me dijo, en su momento, que yo no era elegible. Fui con otro abogado que me cobro muy caro y al final me dijo que tenía que esperar hasta que se produjera un cambio en la ley. Pagué miles de dólares para oír lo... que el Sr. Petty ya me había dicho de forma gratuita. Hace cuatro años me robaron a mano armada en una gasolinera. El hombre me apuntó con una pistola y se llevó mi bolso y teléfono celular. Me acordé que el Sr. Petty dice en su programa de radio que las víctimas de delito pueden conseguir permisos de trabajo y tarjetas de residencia. Hablé con el Sr. Petty y él tomó mi caso y me dieron un permiso de trabajo por seis meses y el año pasado me dieron mi tarjeta de residencia. Todo el personal en su oficina es muy amable y servicial. Me gusta que el personal siempre me devuelve las llamadas y siempre puedo hablar con el Sr. Petty sin cobro adicional. Él tiene una excelente reputación por decir la verdad y luchar por sus clientes. Él no es un abogado que cobra y no da resultados, como otros abogados. Lo he recomendado con más de veinte personas y todos ellos han quedado satisfechos con su servicio. Recomiendo al Sr. Petty a todos los que necesiten ayuda con cuestiones de inmigración. Voy a requerir de sus servicios para tramitar mi ciudadanía cuando sea el momento.

I paid them $3,000 and they took my money!

I hired this law firm years ago, paid them the total amount for my fees of $3,000. I couldn't file until my husband would file his taxes which he didn't for years and held me back. I still however made sure I made my monthly payments to pay everything and when I was ready my money would be safe with ...them. I decided to come back 8 months ago to my surprise Roy Pettys wife said my funds were already depleted for the services they provided. They literally filled in my I-360 and the I-797, and another form which was not submitted because WE WERE WAITING and my caseworker knew that!! Roy Petty's wife Also told me that they worked very hard getting all my records. 99.9% of all records were provided by me! Copies were given to them so we can start to accrue all the records needed. So to fill in a couple of forms that were on standby cost me $3,000. Sounds like robbery to me! I hate to leave such negative review, but there's a lot of people that have to work very hard for their money and to just be taken so easily and justifying it by filling a couple of forms doesn't seem ethical.

Elizabeth, you should call me at my office. You and I never have spoken about this matter and you may have the wrong law firm. There is another immigration attorney who has the same name as I do. There is no relation between us. I queried our database and no Elizabeth has contracted with me to prepare an I-360 in the past 20 years. We charge much less than $3,000 for an I-360. Form I-797 is a form issued by the US government and is not a form that any lawyer completes. Your husband's income taxes are not needed for an I-360 and we do not file I-360's for spouses who live with their husbands. And, my wife was not at my office 8 months ago. I spoke with her and she never has spoken with any of our I-360 clients about any payment issues.

the lawyer is good

Mr Roy in two months helped me get my e2 visa and visas for my wife and the kids, I have a well situated gas station with a stable flow of customers and good location. he doesn't charge too much and is the first honest lawyer i have met, he will tell you like it is and he wont try to take your money,... i dealt with another lawyer for 8 months who has really big problems now and Mr Roy did all the documents for me in 2 months.

Thank you for supporting me and paying for me

Thank you for freeing me from my manipulative and controlling husband.I dont have any money and was afraid he was going to kill me when he was on a drunk. I heard Mr. Petty helps people even if they dont have money. Mr. Petty and his wife freed me from my husband and paid for my ticket to California... and for my motel. I've been free of my tormentor for 2 months. Mrs. Petty went with me to the police and convinced the policeman to sign the papers letting me to get a U visa. It takes a year and I hope I will get the visa. Even if I don't I am grateful I have daca and for Mr. Petty and his wife. I have no money to pay them and I pray that God will bless them.

Best attorney in my 20 years of dealing with US immigration

Roy is not just a great attorney with great results, but he is also a compassionate and caring human being. I had a complex "Writ of Mandamus" case and had talked to 5 other top-rated DFW area immigration attorneys. Other (top-rated) attorneys either didn't have enough knowledge of the law, or were c...hickened-out to take on a case against US DOS. Roy took on the challenge, treated me with utmost respect, spent as much time as needed during our face to face meetings and then kept me in the loop via emails. When I asked a question or had an update, he replied to me personally within a day or so. The whole experience of working with him was like working with an old friend... Thanks! Roy
