This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Do not hire Andre driggs at all cost.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Andrew Driggs is the most incompetent lawyer. Not only did he mishandle my case entirely, but he also lied to me, causing an additional three-month delay. This delay resulted in significant financial losses and immense stress. His big lack of accountability and pr...ofessionalism is appalling. He should not even be practicing law. I finally got my visa with advice from another attorney. I will be pursuing legal action against him for his negligence. My name is Danaï Papadomanolakis, if you have also had a terrible experience with this lawyer and are considering a collective lawsuit, feel free to reach out to me. I would strongly advise everyone to avoid their services at all costs.

Very helpful and reasonably priced

We used Andrew for our EB-3 Green Card application. He helped us every step of the way and answered all of your questions before submitting our application to immigration. We were very happy with his service and would recommend him to others and will definitely use him again for our citizenship ap...plication.

The worst

He is the worst immigration lawyer ever it took him 7 years for him to do his job it got to the point where they were going to cancel the visa because they didn’t here from him and we had to pay for the application again not only that but he stopped answering our calls and left my husband in Mexico b...ecause of him

Very unsatisfied

I hired this lawyer because In the past he helped out my wife’s parents with some stuff and even though they advised me he takes his time I decided to hire him and legalize my parents. He asked for money and I gave him $1000 to start with, he asked me for lots of different documents and I provided ev...ery single one, afterwards I tried calling, and calling and calling and he was never available, always leaving messages with no response nor call back. Finally we decided to hire somebody else and helped us resolve everything and half the time. I also called his secretary asking for a refund and all she said she would have him call back but of course it never happened.

As you posted this review as anonymous, I do not know if you are an actual client or not. I am not aware of any case I have been hired to do where parents were able to legalize and we failed to finish the process. There is no reason to remain anonymous on this website.

Do not recommend

Driggs was recommended to us by a notary he worked with. At the beginning he was good, very enthusiastic about taking our case. Everything was going well until we paid him off to finish up the process. Several months passed and we did get any updates. We began calling to ask for updates and he was "n...ever" in or was "busy". One day I got upset and and told his secretary off because he was "never in" the office and a minute after I clicked Driggs returned my call within only to tell me nothing, "everything was still pending". After almost a year, we decided to see another lawyer. She confronted Driggs and confirm he didn't do much. Thankfully, our case is closing successfully with the new lawyer we hired. We heard many great things of Andrew thats why we decided to hire him but the outcome, with us, was not successful. He is very calm, works at his pace, doesn't call to give updates, hides from his clients to avoid being confronted and of course when we asked for a refund (because he didn't do anything) he refused.
