Bad customer service

I'm glad I didn't hire him. If you have a question or anything they takes days to call you back. And then you will have to pay for another consultation even if you have already payed for one.

Replied last October 13, 2020

I am sorry that you are angry that we could not give you a second consultation free of charge. We never charge clients to meet with them, but you are not our client. I reviewed our call logs and you called Thursday at 4pm, an hour before we close, inquiring about whether the attorney thought that you needed a second consultation. We are closed Fridays. We returned your call at 9am Saturday when our office reopened. You decided not to schedule a consultation because of the $50 consultation fee. Our call logs show that you called to schedule the first consultation at 1:15pm Monday the week before. We took your call. We have no other record of your calls.

I recommend him

His office is busy but he always is available for us. My granddad and aunt were his clients. He worked my 2 year green card case. They mailed me a work permit and travel card, after I got the interview and the 2 year card came the week later. he did the paper work fast and everything happened like he... said it was going to. We recommend him and will go back for the 10 year card.

The Best

We urgently required a professional lawyer to help us with our investor visas as they are all expiring. We are grateful to have found Mr. Petty; with his knowledge and wisdom of this area, he negotiated our investor visas with excellent results. Mr Petty made changes to our subsidiary in Florida and ...reapplied the visas for us. Each one of us is thankful for his amazing pull off as we approached him in the eleventh hour and yet he managed to secure the interviews fast. At the embassy appointment, our visas got approved. Thank you Mr Petty for going the extra mile and burning midnight oil just to help us with this matter. Highly Recommended lawyer, professional and sincere with helping us; he took time to explain and answer all our questions. Thank you again!

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.

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
