“Experience Matters”
After several years of delay, my husband and I decided to switch from our previous attorney and scheduled a consultation with Ana.

Unprofessional
Unprofessional at best, but really just the worst lawyer you can choose. My deal with her and what she probably tells all her clients is she'll help with the initial application to residency all the way to citizenship. $3500 for the whole thing. Don't make the mistake of paying her up front. She will...
