Agree with A.J. - Mr. Musyimi is Incompetent in Complex Immigration Law Matters

Mr. Musyimi runs a one-man shop under the guise of an immigration law firm. I was under asylum removal proceedings but granted relief under the Convention Against Torture. I later got married to a USC, and hired Mr. Musyimi for guidance in adjusting my status. He had no clue how to do this, and ...kept stringing me along and asking for money, even going as far as asking me for gas money at the courthouse parking lot after a hearing! How unprofessional. I ended up moving on and hiring Attorney Alexandre Afanassiev with then Foster Quan LLC. Mr. Afanassiev knew the legal procedures required to check the status of my case with USCIS, transfer my case, petition for it to be reopened, and helped me through every step of the adjustment of status process, which was successful! I know money is hard to come by as an immigrant, and many amongst us work low-paying, dead-end jobs. However, when it comes to immigration matters, do not spare money to get the professional help that you need and deserve. You get what you pay for. Go cheap with Mr. Musyimi and it will cost you in the long run. Better to hire a competent attorney in a the most high-profile and reputable firm that you can afford and which has a full staff of seasoned lawyers to help you and consult with rather than this mom-and-pop operation of Solomon Musyimi. He wears too many hats instead of focusing on one area of law, and is too proud to admit when he doesn't know certain aspects of immigration law. He should simply say so to his clients and send them to a different lawyer instead of leading them down a dead-end path. If your case is complicated, difficult or lacks precedence, I do not recommend working with Mr. Musyimi.

Excellent Service

My case was handled in the most professional way possible. I was almost being deported. Solomon and his staff worked diligently to provide all the required documents on time. They always called to update me on the progress of my case and gave me very good guidance. What would have been a difficult ca...se to win ended up in great success. Even after I relocated he still send a competent representative to my hearing. I got my greencard and I am now a citizen. I have ever since referred several friends who have also received their green cards. Immigration is a field that attoney Solomon understands very well. He is also very courteous to his clients together with the team he works with.

NOT an Immigration lawyer!

Mr. Musyimi, to put it politely has been a waste of my time and money. He does not know about immigration law and should NOT consult as an immigration lawyer. I am from Nigeriaand I'd heard some negative feedback from members of his community however I chose to stay with him because he talks a big ga...me and the price was right. I switched lawyers earlier this year because I did not like how my case was being handled. Simple mistakes like, the dates on the forms were not matching, my work history did not match the information I provided. He showed a lack of care for my paper work, and took months to actually file any of it, requesting for the same information on many an occasion. Once I switched lawyers, they mentioned that they have received quite a number of clients from Solomons office, again showing a lack of care for the Clients he already has. I advise you to stay away.

It is difficult to recall this individual since he has remained anonymous. Nonetheless, I would love to meet him and address his issue. He can call me personally at 713-541-4444.

Client

I was about to be removed from the United States. I had had three lawyers before I hired Attorney Solomon Musyimi. Attorney Solomon Musyimi diligently prepared for the case. He presented my case in a firm but professional manner. After the hearing, the Judge granted me my green card. I am very p...leased with him -- Esther
