untrustworthy and misleading

I hired chris to file for a fiance visa in december 2010. i wanted it expedited as my fiance was 7 months pregnant. while he said it was in process months went by with nothing happening. i called uscis to find out what was going on and they said i was not in there system. i called chris and he said h...e would find out what was going on. long story short chris lied and did not even file my petition until a year after i retained him, he deceieved me and caused a lot of grief and financial hardship because his lack of professionalism. I am gonna have to start all over again two years later because i trusted him and his lies.

"When my own clients have immigration problems I often refer them to Christopher Macaraeg. Chris has always been attentive and responsive to the needs of his clients, and he will even meet clients on the weekend at their homes. Chris' understanding of the immigration laws is superb, and he is well respected by other immigration attorneys, government counsel, and immigration judges. In addition, Chris and I have worked together on my cases -- particularly where my client's criminal case has caused him to face the frightening prospect of deportation. Chris has worked closely with me to ensure that the resolution I obtain for my client in criminal court is one that will not interfere with his immigration court matter."
