Posted by Tammie | August 14, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Clients beware

Do not seek the law services of this immigration attorney. She was me and my husband's lawyer for 3 yrs. In the beginning she was attentive, communicative and was able to get his 601- A approved along with his interview in Honduras. However, we started to see a slow decline of her communication and... professionalism. Slowly calls, emails and texts were not being returned in a timely fashion. My husband's interview was not approved and I ended up coming back to the states without my husband, just barely hanging on the lack of communication from Miss Sarreshteh. Then, out of nowhere, all forms of communication between us and Miss Sarreshteh ceased. She completely disappeared leaving my husband stranded in Honduras. FORTUNATELY, we kept a copy of his paperwork for our 2nd attempt to file his 601-A with our new current lawyer. We CANNOT imagine where we would be without that copy since she was not returning any of our calls and emails. Miss Sarreshteh abandoned us, her clients, in their most dyer time. What's even more shocking is that she has done the same thing to another client and her family. She's great to hire is you just need someone to file paperwork, but she'll dip out after. She needs to be disbarred.
