Damaging Mistakes in My N-400 Application

I retained Peter Viles through Marble Law to assist with my N-400 naturalization application, and I regret the decision. His handling of my case was negligent, unprofessional, and put my future as a U.S. citizen at risk. Here are the major issues I experienced: • It took over 6 months for Mr. Vi...les to file my application, despite having the necessary documents early in the process. I had to constantly follow up just to get updates or make sure anything was being done. • When the application was finally submitted, it contained major factual errors: • My marital history was incorrect. • My son’s name and date of birth were completely omitted. • My current wife’s details were missing or inaccurate. • Several of my international trips were either left out or had the wrong dates. • He also failed to properly address my past arrests, delaying the collection of court dispositions and not explaining what was needed or how it would impact my case. When I pointed out these errors and asked him to refile the corrected application and cover the new filing fee, he refused — despite the fact that the mistakes were entirely on his end. In the end, I had no choice but to retain a different attorney to clean up the damage and move my case forward correctly. I believe I wasted both time and money working with Mr. Viles and would strongly caution anyone considering him for an immigration matter. If your immigration future is important to you, I would advise looking elsewhere for competent legal help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
