UNPROFESSIONAL!

We hired this lawyer almost three years ago for our immigration case...so far this lawyer has done nothing for us. Our file was just sitting there for two years collecting dust. If we wouldn't have been persistent our case would have not been known to them and it will probably still be in the same s...pot it was when they told us about "the mistake" their ex-collegue did. I call so many times even left messages and noone returned my calls, also got the same excuse like "stepped out the office", "is at lunch break", "is with a client"' etc...I have been the one doing all the work and communicating with immigration about the status of our case. Before you hire this lawyer do some research, wish I would have done it, just trying to prevent someone going through with all the stress and frustration we are going through.

Honest and client oriented

This office provided me with all the help and information I needed in my immigration case. My case was very favorable and I have my papers now. Thank you attorney Chukwurah.

Negligent and Uncommunicative

Please do not hire this lawyer. We hired him for an immigration case and he charged us too much and did not do anything. He told us he already had court dates before he even knew, he would take a long time to file court documents and would not answer question over the phone! Everytime we asked him to... do something, it was always more money! We gave him all the money he requested believing that everything was under control and it was not. He just got licensed and is trying to increase his revenue so all he cares about right now is money. Please do not waste your time on him!

Disbarment issued in TX, 2015

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Texas State Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Suspension issued in TX, 2012

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
