a great lawyer

We are thankful for Jay. We believe he will work hard to help my husband take his permanent resident card. Therefore we are thankful for Jay.

Extremely Disappointing Experience

I hired Advocate Jagbir Karkiana in January 2024 for a legal case. Initially, he took a 20% payment from me, and after 3 to 4 months, he took another 25%. After that, he stopped answering my calls, did not show up on the scheduled dates, and did not reply to my emails. I also gave his contact to a fe...w of my friends, but unfortunately, they faced the same issues. They also did not get any response to their calls or emails. I tried multiple times to contact him, but he deliberately ignored me. Because of him, I had to face huge troubles; not just mine, but my friends’ cases also got ruined because of this one advocate. I hope that this review will help people stay alert and avoid such fraud. This person wasted my time and money, and I do not want this to happen to anyone else.”

Unprofessional

I left a message with Terkiana law firm. I received a call from a person who spoke Punjabi and no English. I do understand Hindi so I continued the conversation. I was toldthat I must deposit 250$ before I can get a first conversation with a knowledgeable person. Ideally, I would prefer the conversat...ion tobein English. I would like to know that the lawyer is able and willing to work on the case before I pay any money. I would also like to know what is the fee before I pay any money. This wasextremely unprofessional conduct.

Not responsive, and unprofessional staff

I will give a 0 rating if I can. I reached out to them for wife’s H4 EAD application but it took me 5 tries to reach the guy representative. They never picked up the call during weekends. Finally, I talked to them and the guy told me to reach out to him personally if I want cheaper rate.

This is fake reveiw. We are a complex immigraiton litigation firm, not a visa factory who will negotiate EAD fees. As of July 7, 2022 - we are 22 employee firm with 5 lawyers who focus on complex immigraiton and litigation. We are growing and we will continue to grow. Our results speak for themselves. I have earned this - with hard work - and I do not feel the need to address this reviewer. I would rather take this opportunity to say something meaningful. If you have a complex immigraiton situation weather Employment, Family or Removal, we are one of the very few firm who can actually represent you before all these immigraiton agencies. We routinely file/litigate cases before USCIS, Asylum Offices, Immigraiton Courts, Board of Immigraiton Appeals, and Circuit Courts. This provides us with a very unique skillset to handle some of the most complex cases. If you have landed yourself in a compelx situation where cookie cutter solutions would not work - please feel free to reach us. Thanks for your attention.
