Unprofessional lawyer and staff!

This lawyer is extremely unprofessional, and it clearly shows in his staff. When you point out their mistakes, they make it about you instead of taking responsibility. He blames clients when cases don’t go well and takes no accountability for his own lack of preparation. I don’t expect lawyers to ...win every case, but I do expect one who goes to war with the mindset of a warrior — prepared and ready to fight and win! Instead, he came to my interview completely unprepared and even fell asleep during it.He was snoring!!! He constantly says he’s been doing this for over 20 years, as if that excuses poor service. The office lady, Elizabeth, smiles to your face but talks badly about clients behind their backs. No empathy, no professionalism. If you’re willing to pay people and also lick their boots then maybe you found the right place at Sutton law firm! You cannot point out or voice your concerns because you will be termed unruly!! If you’re an immigrant and you value your future in America, do not use him, don’t be fooled by his years in service or thinking he will show empathy because he’s an immigrant. Save your time, money, and peace of mind — look elsewhere.

The best.

Mr sutton was the best attorney for my immigration case, after spending more seven years on this case and about to be deported dealing with other law firms l was recommended to the Sutton law firm and in less than six months my case was resolved . I will recommend to anyone who wants a professional ...on immigration laws to handle his/her case

An excellent attorney

If reliability and speed are primary considerations to engaging an attorney, I will hire and recommend Shola Sutton ten times over. We hired Mr. Sutton to handle our family Imigration case. To start with, he was most considerate with his charges. He allowed us a very convenient payment plan and gave ...us the utmost attention as though we were the only client he had. Mr. Sutton is very detailed, frank and friendly. At the interview, Mr. Sutton's professionality and amiable personality created a congenial atmospher that in less than ten minutes, the interview was over and we were approved. My wife and I have referred several person to Mr. Sutton in the past thirteen years and the reports have been most excellent. This morning, Mr. Sutton handled my mother-inlaw's citizenship interview and we are grateful to GOD that he is her attorney. Sincerely I recommend Mr. Sutton to anyone that is looking for an immigration attorney.

The Worst lawyer I have ever met

He is the worst lawyer i have ever heard of. He lacks professional ethics, no trustworthiness, hypocritical. I hired this lawyer, paid him everything, only for him to dispose all my information and evidence i gave him to use against my opponent, he gave it to him, worked against me instead of working... for my interest, could not even represent me before the judge instead supported my opponent right before me, deprived me of my right to speak before the judge, could not even ask my opponent any question, could not act as it he is my lawyer, all the while i was calling him, could not answer his calls nor reply to text messages, and when he do, he calls me names and lay abusive words on me through phone. At the end i know he owns not my destiny, and he will definitely reap all he sowed. It it better not to have such a lawyer to represent you in a serious matter. He is a hypocrist and highly disappointing. I will never recommend him to anyone. He should go back to law school and learn how to treat his clients, learn professionallism and law ethics because he lacks all.
