Avoided

I will keep writing until last day on my life, my experience with them they advertise on Avvo that they are the bes immigration law team so we hired them fro outside the USA fo green card and waiver after married, they reniued our lives after they got money they tried us to give u, they didn't respo...nd, they kept asked fees for every form they required to send for the immigration center, although we paid 6500 on 2017 but still wanted fees for every application they wanted to fill and asked us to fill any application and send back to them, when we sent them they told us sorry we asked you to fill this application, this application or paper no need to fill there is another one the immigration renewed and need, imagine every single paper outside USA need 75 dollars to send, and they kept doing the same way every time instead of they should fill papers and send, they ripped off us, they answered our emails after one or more month, they wasted almost 3 years of our lives with stress and nothing and M. r swaim not deal with you ever only the team who are unprofessional and not helpful only asking for money, we hired another attender after we lost 3 year and my husband got the green card after 5 months of hiring thankfully. Keep away from this place, the most stressful time in my life dealing with them, I wrote here after he keep deleting my feedback on google , this is the only thing that they are professional For

Save your time and money!

I would not be able to express how upset I feel about this man in this simple review. He has absolutely no patience, which makes it hard to imagine how he continues to practice law in the first place since people go to him for comfort and advice. Our first meeting was rushed because he insisted that ...the package he would give us would have a detailed list of things we were suppose to gather. This list took me 3 months to complete, during that time I emailed him asking for various questions I had come up with after reading the package he had giving me. He's response was to just drop of the package at his front desk. Even though I was not happy with the limited attention he showed, I decided to continue my pursuit for his help because I understood that his schedule was probably super hectic, after all he is a lawyer. Once I had finally finished completing all the forms in his list and had gathered completely all the money his assistance required, I went to the office to "drop off" the package. Thinking this would be a great opportunity to ask him a simple question in person, after he ignored me via internet I asked the receptionist if she could kindle ask Swain to speak to me for 5 seconds because I needed to ask him a quick question. As she did, to later come back to me and tell me that there was no need to fill out everything. At this point I wasn't as concerned to fill out the papers as I was to get some interaction/ answer from Swain himself, and I insisted her to speak to him because I did not feel comfortable leaving without getting to speak to him. I explained that I had tried to email him and I did not want to miss the opportunity to have him a few feet away. I think she understood my persistence, and went on back to talk to him. Once he came out, Swain was irritated and came to me asking "what the problem was." I told him that I just needed to ask him a simple question. I honestly just needed to feel like all the money I would pay would pay for some assurance and attention from him. He was so rude and impatient, he could have been begging me to stop bothering him with my case. I am not sure how he could work for anyone. He never answered any of my questions... I strongly advice anyone to go to someone else because you would just end up bothering him. Your money could be used for someone who cares and explains everything you need to know.
