Super immigration attorney

This is a very belated review because I was Mr.Hom's client some 20 years ago, and of course at that time there was no internet nor a site like AVVO. My case at that time was very difficult and I already had engaged another immigration attorney who worked on my case for many years with no satisfacto...ry result but cost us lots of money; even with all that money and effort I was on my way out of the country. So at the eleventh hour and at my uncle's suggestion we came to see Mr.Hom. He was (and still is I'm sure) extremely knowledgeable, professional, and handled my case with great care. Mr.Hom was able to achieve the impossible for me in just a few months (basically he resolved the problem for me that my other attorney said was very slim in chance). It is no exaggeration to say that my life changed completely for the better because of what Mr.Hom was able to do. Now, the law changes, the facts and the circumstances are different for everyone so what happened to me may not happen to you, but I would encourage you to at least consult with Mr.Hom, he will honestly tell you what he can or cannot do and he really is one of those very few ethical attorneys. No one asked me nor paid me to write this review, the reason I still remember Mr.Hom is because of what he did for me, so I think I owe him this review.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

He is not like other lawyers out there that tell you he can do everything...and he doesn't make promoises...cause he always said to me "I can not promises you your case will get approved by Immigration because I am not the Immigration, however, I can promised you I will do my best and use my knowledg...e and expierence to help you with your case"......I've gone to see few attorneys, but he is the first lawyer that actually willing to spend time with me listen to my problems and explaining to me what the law is and what will be my best options if I need his help to do my case. Before Atty. Hom, there was another attorney that I've hired to do my case and every time I try calling this lawyer he was always too busy to talk to me and when leaving messages he will never call you back.....the only time he calls is when he wants to charge me more money....I am so happy and thankful to my friend for introduce Atty. Hom to me...over the years I have also introduce Atty. Hom to my friends and family members to do their case and I've also notice from over the years that most of Atty. Homs clients came to see him is "word-of-mouth" and not some big advertisements that says "WE PROMISED WE CAN GET YOUR CASE APPROVED BY INS"...I mean who are they to make such promises??? If Atty. Hom can not do your case, he will tell you why he can not do it...he will not take your money first and later tell you he can not do it....he is honest and stright forward no talking nonsense kind of lawyer......I am certain you will be pleased with his work and as for me is money well spent and great investment for my whole family......
