Professional advice and good interpersonal approach

My husband and I went for a consultation at Mr. Ballout office and at the end of the meeting both of us were pleased to meet such a reliable and understanding lawyer. We met up with him just to ask for a legal advice concerning my Green Card application and I appreciated very much his feedback (in t...he last few weeks I had made a personal research about the immigration procedures and applications and Mr. Ballout seem to know everything is to know about it) and that he honestly told us that he sees no red flags in our case and therefore he didn't try to make things look different than they are just to promote his legal services. He was very opened and answered to all my questions and I had many...:) The price of the interview was very attractive and I personally believe that no one would regret if they choose Mr. Ballout as their legal representative, since he's been working in this domain for over 15 years and has a lot of good insights and thus won cases.

Not satisfied

I am not satisfied with this lawyer. First of all I went to consultation they charged me more money than their noraml consultation fee. After consultation was over , I emailed to Haitham about some questions. He was rude and responded me back to have another consultation. I went to another attorney ...and she is doing everything for less money and is more responsive. I am happy I did not hire Haitham. I don,t know how he has such a rating on avvo.

Reply by the Attorney Haitham Ballout: I regret that you felt this way. We charged you more for consultation because you specifically requested a 90-minute time slot with me, and we specifically informed you about the additional charges more than once prior to the consultation. Our typical consultation time is 30 minutes. I cannot possibly accept every case that comes to me, and have to decline cases that are incompatible with the way we run our legal practice. I explained to you why we couldn’t accept your case, and I regret that you interpreted this as being rude. I do wish you well however, and sincerely wish that you get the result you are hoping for with another attorney.
