Jamahl Calvin Kersey

Very disappointed with the lawyer provided. He did not know what to say and instead he was using my paid 30 minutes to talk about himself and his achievement rather than providing me with valuable advice or answer my questions. He would not let me talk and would not even listen. I chose immigration ...issues when signing up and the lawyer chosen said he is not too familiar with immigration law and not so familiar with my area. What a waste of money. They are fraud. Do not use this service.

I never do reviews of anything however this time I had to do it since I found Mr Kersey thanks to the people that took the time doing a review , in my case it was a life changing event. I was denied of the citizenship due to some missinformation that the Uscis obtained from my country of origin who ...knows how. Mr Kersey was very clear since day one, he told me exactly what were my chances and how he would proceed. My case was not easy but Mr Kersey turn every single stone and prepare and inmaculete defense and posture. I was interview by the Officer , his Supervisor and my file was studied by the Director I guess they could not beleive they made a mistake the first time , everything was so well prepared and presented that it leaved the USCIS without any doubt and granted my citicenship. Thank you very much Mr. Kersey !

We recently hired Jamahl as a defense attorney for a drug related felony charge. We were new to the whole process and had a lot of questions. Jamahl was easy to reach and took the time to explain possible outcomes and the whole process to us. Being new to the whole legal system, it was nice to have s...omeone explain each step that we would face along the way. Our felony charge was dropped and we stayed out of jail. We are thankful to have been referred to Jamahl and would not hesitate to recommend his services to friends in the future. Hopefully, we won't need to, but nice to know we have strong recommendation in Jamahl.

I initially was seeking an immigration attorney to help with a case for my fiance. I called several immigration lawyers on a sunday and left voice mail. My call was returned within 15 to 30 minutes by Mr. Kersey. I was impressed! He went on to explain how dedicated he is and takes his work very serio...usly, Said he was ethical and honest, etc etc. Between the way he spoke and the immediate call back I thought I'd found a lawyer I could really feel good about and trust. We discussed an initial consultation for the rate of $500. I sent the $500 and he said he would be out to meet with my fiance between Monday or Tuesday to determine if he thinks he would be able to help. Well a couple days go by and no Jamahl. However he contacts me about 3 days later, Wednesday and says he has obtained her records and feels confident he can help us, and the total is $5000. He says he was unable to get out to see her because he was so busy but now he will go on Thursday. I agree to pay the total sum, with a $200 discount for paying in full , so $4800. He had offered me to finance, in hindsight that would have been the much smarter option as once he had been paid I never recieved another timely response again., Matter of fact it typically took 3 days or more for any reply, and I was very patient and gave every possible benefit of the doubt. So Thursday comes and no Jamahl. By now I'm becoming a little disheartened at his lack of consideration or communication. I am a business woman as well. I would never dream of saying I will be somewhere after having been paid for something, and then just not shown up without a word. Its not too much to expect or to send one line email to say' I must reschedule" is pretty reasonable in my opinion, Anyhow he pops up Friday saying he was busy again but for sure will be out there Saturday. I tell my finance to expect him. Soooo yeah Saturday night another big question mark about Mr Jamahl. Sunday goes by still no word. I decide to email him because he is obviously not concerned about communicating with us? I request him to NOT try to reschedule for Monday ( seems the obvious next move based on his track record). I tell him Monday is my day and please pick another date and time rather than when I already plan to be there. What does he do? Sends a reply Monday morning that he is on the way, and he completely ignored the fact I specifically asked him NOT to choose the same time as me. Yes it crossed my time up. . So meanwhile my finace contacts me a few days later and says her federal attorney (Mary Frankiln) has handled everything and marvelously. We have no need for Jamahls help. I am baffled at how the attorney Mary was able to proceed with the case when we had already hired Jamahl. Well I spoke to her myself and she explained that whatever steps Jamahl had to follow in order to become "the " lawyer, he had not done. Well by that point I was pretty fed up. I messaged him that his services were no longer necessary. Another waiting period of days and finally the same day of the court date he finally calls to confirm what I have emailed. He agrees, understands, says he will return money aside from what he bills for his efforts. In typical fashion its almost 3 weeks before I hear from him again, he finally says he is sending my money. Yes I had doubts and was somewhat stressed, I'm just not sure what play book this guy is working with, Its definitely not one that includes business etiquette, or courtesy. I was expecting a bill for the same as our initial consultation agreement roughly $500. To my surprise I get the invoice he has kept $1120 for that one visit and a whole lot of regret. With all this said I have no opinion whatsoever as to his skills as a lawyer. He might be great, I really wouldn't know.
