Worst attorney EVER!
I hired this attorney to represent my wife in a deportation hearing and it was the WORST mistake of my life. His staff and Kanu's demeanor after you hire him is less than professional.

Replied last April 01, 2017Of course I disagree with all these false characterizations. I am shocked at all these statements. I did all the work very professionally and filed all the applications correctly and timely. When the client decided she wanted another lawyer I immediately transferred the entire file to the new lawyer. Luckily the judge granted the relief applicatins I filed. I am very happy for the client that she is now free. I wish her well and wish the writer good luck
