unfortunately I chose him to represent me in immigration court

I had the worst experience with mr.Nalbandian, unfortunately I chose him to represent me in immigration court. I've red all reviews here and have to say that I feel all the good ones are fake and wholeheartedly agree with the negative one. My experience with this attorney was hell. I couldn't reach h...im sometimes for 3 weeks and when he finally answered the phone,the first thing he asked was about money. Not discussing my case or defense strategy,it was always a demand for more money. Otherwise,he was threatened me to not show up at court. Can you imagine how traumatizing was it? His so called legal assistance led to loosing my case and spending 11 month in jail. Very incompetent,dishonest and greedy lawyer charging big money for nothing. He doesn't care if he will win or loose your case, as soon as he gets your money,he will forget about you and your needs. ,he will be hustling a new client . I strongly suggest to any potential clients of mr.Nalbandian to think twice before hiring him, if you don't want to loose your case, money and faith in people. Learn from my mistakes.

Thank you for your review, BUT (1) We do not see your name in our list of clients and we keep a computerized database of all our clients from the past 16 years of practice; (2) We have not lost any such cases with clients in detention so the facts you describe do not match the experiences of any client/case we have ever handled; and (3) we did have a client whom I believe you may be referring to, but we withdrew from the case months before the final asylum hearing due to a breakdown in communications, so if the case was subsequently handled by another attorney and denied by the judge, I am sorry to hear that, but I do wish you and that client the very best of luck and success in all your endeavors.
