I hired this woman to help me obtain legal status so I could gain custody of my child who was and now still is in a desperate and abusive home. Knowing the other party was going to use my immigration status against me at the time, Although she was always very hard to get in touch with I had her appea...r in court with me at a custody hearing. Not only did she not try to step in and prevent my arrest after that hearing when it went down, she failed to file the Stay of deportation forms that would have kept me in the US and probably saved my child from more abuse at the hands of his mother and grandmother. I now have not seen my child for nearly 4 years, and my wife in more than a year! At the time of my deportation I asked Ms Lane about the Waiver process and she knew absolutely nothing about it, then stopped responding to calls from myself and my wife...Did she realize she had failed to file a simple paper that would have saved my child and my family a mountain of heartache, or did she cut us off because I could no longer pay her fees? Either way, she failed me when I trusted in her. My son is now suffering physical and psychological abuse that is worse than ever... I would not recommend her because of her lack of knowledge and her failure to file a very common form after having been paid to protect me! I had a happy family, a great job and was attempting to do the right thing in regard to my status. I fully acknowledge my mistake in not obtaining legal status as a young man in first coming to this country however, I live a good and honest life and trusted in Ms Lane to help me so I could protect my child.... and now we both are suffering, because of of my youthful lack of knowledge years ago and her lack of knowledge and negligence!
