these people told me that there was nothing they could do about my immigration status, and that nothing could be done about my felony from 15 years ago and that I could not get my status adjusted. Well after consulting another immigration attorney, they were able to get my felony down to a misdemeano...r so it would not reflect negatively on immigration, so these might be good attorneys, but just make sure you don’t have any wrinkles in your situation or they will throw their hands up and walk away

We signed on with Ms. Cueva at Highbee & Associates to handle our same sex marriage based greencard. I am a US citizen and my husband is Mexican. Everything started off pretty well, we were kept informed and information was flowing between us and her team. Halfway through our case Isabel Cueva left ...the firm along with her team leaving us and I'm sure a lot of other clients uncertain. It was only her firm that gave a letter explaining that she had left and so had two other women Jacqueline Shi and Irene Nunez who were handling our case. We were told this was going to be pretty basic and easy. I guess they were too anxious to get to their next job or open their firm or whatever the case may be but instead of receiving good news this last Friday we were informed that in the handling of the paperwork being passed from attorney to attorney to paralegal etc. A fundamental mistake had been made on our I-601A form from the previous team that had supposedly checked everything thoroughly. Our petition was denied, not because of us but because of a mistake they had made in the paperwork. I just see it as a very irresponsible move leave a firm and not communicate to your clients of make sure that everything is in place, we are very stressed and this has not been a great experience to say the least. The whole reason of hiring lawyers is to avoid these types of headaches and let's just say that I couldn't saved myself $4,000+ if I had gone a different route.
