No lo recomiendo
No recomiendo a este despacho de abogados de inmigración. Poco profesional, culpan a los clientes de sus fallas, cobran mucho, no contestan las llamadas, no cumplen lo que prometen. Perdí mucho dinero, pero sobre todo mucho tiempo por un error de ellos. Pésima experiencia con este despacho.
