MIA Immigration Attornay

We used Anne Kennedy for an immigration case. Almost instantly we felt as if we were dealing with her assistant(s) instead of her. Communication was a problem from the beginning. And as soon as our case was no longer "cookie-cutter" Anne became even less consistent. We could not get her on the pho...ne, we could not get her to respond to emails, we were literally left to fend for ourselves. We had to thoroughly read all correspondence from the various immigration agencies and understand exactly what and how they wanted information without any counsel. We had to fill out every form and know exactly what supporting documents to include without any counsel. We paid Anne upfront for the entire process but in the end we had to do everything ourselves... except for the first form, but there were like 5 to 6 more forms and a plethora of other hoops and turns we had to go through with NO HELP. Anne got thousands of our hard earned money and then disappeared. But nevertheless, with no thanks to Anne, we did finish our immigration process with our desired results. Think twice or thrice before choosing this one because any hiccup in Anne's apparent assembly line method of handling cases will be met with you being left out to do it on your own. Every case is different and she knows that, but from my experience she is not willing to do what it takes to help out her clients. What really chaffs me, apart from the money we lost to her, is the fact that we had to give up on our attorney in order to get our case to proceed because had we waited on her we could still be languishing in limbo.

I am saddened to see this review. It is posted anonymously and came out of nowhere, with no comment to me before posting. Nevertheless: This case was VERY difficult employment-based visa application. It had been originally prepared by another lawyer and denied by USCIS. The applicant had also overstayed his visa and engaged in unauthorized employment. After the client hired me, the application that I prepared was approved by USCIS on the first try, with no objection or request for additional evidence from Immigration. That is almost unheard of in today’s world! I spent MANY hours personally preparing and reviewing this file. I spoke with the client on my personal cell phone during business hours and after business hours and weekends. I have a wonderful staff. They will help with a file. Every client will talk to them at some point in time. It is what helps keep legal costs reasonable.

Ehh I'd do my research before hiring her

She did not keep me informed with my case, my family would call and Her "assistants" would tell them that she'd return the call as soon as she returned to he office, well at never happened, she'd go out of town and return 3 days (no joke) before my court hearing only to ask for a continuance. Honestl...y felt like a joke, she planned for all this stuff to go down, well everything failed, she said she has contacts here and there, well nothing happened, I paid for a criminal case representation and she charged me 1500, I had to hire a second attorney which did what she had tried to do, he only charged me 500. She's s joke don't hire her, look around first

I am sorry for a bad review of my firm. I provide excellent representation to my clients, and I have requested verification of this review, as it does not sound like any case I have handled, and I have never received a client review such as this. Protecting the attorney-client privilege of the utmost importance to me. As this review is anonymous, please contact my office so that we may discuss the matter.
