Knowlegeable

I met Roy at his office in Medellin Colombia in March of 2015 to get my fiancée and her daughter into the United States. I shopped around and found that no other lawyer was as knowledgeable as him. We started with him in June. He did the paperwork himself and filed the documents fast. He told me we ...will get out interview in February but we finished it up Friday and they were approved. Thank you

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.

2 phones calls is all it took

the immigration service is screwed and backward. my wife is clean and i went to the irs office to get the forms and filled them out to bring here from ireland. I wanted my baby born her so after 8 months of hearing nothing and not getting any answers from immigration i went and got her. i get to Newa...rk and a rude security office with a badge and no brains deported her. i hired the man and he made 2 calls and got the deportation taken back. my wife go her on the last day the doctor let her travel and my son was born here. it all should be easier if you are an American but hire him and he will get the job done fast

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
