I am sad that an anonymous person posted this review because it was such a pleasure having him as a client and being able to help him become a citizen of the United States. It was quite gratifying explaining to him multiple times through multiple meetings, phone calls, and emails the nature of the challenges in his case and to clear up his misunderstandings and imaginary concerns about the law to succeed in his case. How sad for him that despite all that advice and support I gave him, he felt vulnerable and unsupported. In addition, I was pleased to have a client who I thought had a good understanding of Covid where millions died and saw the great benefit to us both in my attending his interview by telephone rather than in person to avoid risk to him and me by sitting in a crowded office together. I wish I could make up to him his feeling of vulnerability with additional services to assist him in naturalizing, but, because he quickly and seamlessly became a United States citizen despite the challenges in his case, he needs no more help from an immigration lawyer. It is reminiscent of a child full of fantasies contrary to reality and the truth with little capacity to understand the contributions others make to their successes. Fortunately for him, my ethical responsibility to him prevents me from addressing the specifics of his case or possibly even identifying him. Online reviews allow people in glass houses to throw stones. In this case, anonymously, which tells me something about his ethics. Maybe the first time he votes in a U.S. election, he will feel some gratitude. However, my goal was not gaining his gratitude, but, rather, helping him become United States citizen, so, though I am sad, I am happy for him and wish him well. I am proud to have lent a hand. Whatever his name may be....
