Highly Recommend

As far as possible, I have tried to avoid lawyers, for 2 reasons – it’s not fun to be in a legal situation and they are expensive. However I had to hire an immigration attorney and things were not as smooth sailing as I had hoped after hiring an attorney. That’s when I started looking around for a n...ew attorney and got in touch with the law offices of Samuel Patrick Ouya Maina and below are the reasons for the 5 star review: - Called his office and was scheduled for an appointment within 24 hrs - Did not wait in his office for more than 15 mins (as he was with a client) - He was very generous with his time (the free consult scheduled for half hour ran into almost an hour and a half – it was not even a paid consult and we spent all the extra time!) - He thoroughly heard and researched the case - When I discussed his legal fees he was very candid and said that “though it wasn’t that he disliked money” he did not think it fair to charge his legal fees because he had not put in a lot of effort for the case and my case did not need any further action by him. Contrast this with some of the popularly advertised (radio/papers) attorneys - when I called their office I could not even get past the secretary (to explain my case to the attorney and check if they would handle my case and the approximate charges) without paying the consultation charges. -Quite a few of the lawyers had voicemail responses on calling the 1st time. Few of them returned calls within 1-2 days. Quite a few of the lawyers had voicemail responses on calling the 1st time. Few of them returned calls within 1-2 days. -1 attorney showed total lack of interest when he heard that my case was already with another lawyer, without even waiting to hear me out completely. You be the judge as to whether a 5 star review was warranted for Samuel Patrick Ouya Maina

Great Attorney!

I was looking for an attorney through the yellow pages a few years ago. I called several of them but no one was willing to answer any questions or concerns unless I pay or signed up with them. Thankfully, I called Samuel whom guided me and answered all my questions. Since day one he was truthful and ...straight forward with the process of my immigration process. My transition from a Tourist Visa to LPR was fast; I had applied in August, was interviewed in March and received my LPR card in April, yes amazingly fast. Years went by, I had my first child and I needed his services again. At the time I was living out of state but Samuel was able to assist me and my family. He processed my mother’s LPR in no time. She moved here in May and received her LPR card in September of the same year. Samuel is reliable, professional, honest, patient, understanding and encouraging, I couldn't ask for a better attorney. I also appreciate the professionalism and kindness of his office staff.

Samuel has great ethics and knowledge

I met Samuel on Avvo as I posted a question to which he responded, among other lawyers. I decided to email him further questions related to my issue to find out if I needed to hire a lawyer to solve my issue and inquire about his fees. On over 10 lawyers I emailed, he was the only one who responded t...o my questions with full knowledge, not trying to sell me his services and enlightening me about how to proceed by myself without the use of an attorney. I am very appreciative on his knowledge and willingness to share it without charging me the consultation fee, the nine other lawyers were ready to charge me. I would definitely hire Samuel or recommend him, if needed. We need more attorneys like him. Thank you!

Best Immigration Attorney Ever

I was in serious Immigration Trouble a few years back. I went to several lawyers and they all told me they couldn't help me, but they can only buy me more time in the country. Mr . Maina did not only help me get my life back, he was also very calm, confident, reassuring, and brilliant. He was very th...orough in all he did, he kept in-touch frequently and he updated me frequently on where we were and what was happening on the case. If I had a question, he always responded in a timely manner and he took his time to explain things to me. He always made me feel like I mattered and at home in his office. He is truly a great lawyer and I greatly recommend him to anyone in need. You will not regret it.
