Not Worthed - Money is the only Factor
Well, i'll be honest with you. He is knowledgeable and has a nice office, but he way too much into the money thing. I worked with him very recently and unfortunately, i did not perform enough research...Bottom line, if you are looking for one of those attorneys that care for you, understand your situ...
I've contacted Raghu to work out any misunderstanding, and see how we can make things right. In terms of caring about our clients, I do think our record helping and defending immigrants, many of whom are in extremely vulnerable situations, says a lot about our firm's loyalty, hard work and compassion: <http://immigration-defense.com/Our-Results.aspx>. I only wish I knew what made Raghu think we'd abandon him... Regarding case costs, I'm not sure where Raghu has obtained his data, but our fees are extremely reasonable, and well within range for attorneys with more than 10 years experience. As for consultation fees, if someone has not retained us as their lawyer, our fee is $100 for a consultation meeting. A consultation often last 45 minutes to an hour. We really get into the case during the consultation meeting, going over documents, doing legal research, and answering all questions until the consultee fully understands his case. Our consultations are completely different from those of many other law firms, where the consultee gets only 15 minutes and is pressured to sign a retainer for fees right then and there. People really get a lot of value from these consultations meetings, so I believe it's $100 well spent. To clarify though, clients who have retained us to help with their case *never ever* have to pay an additional consultation fee to meet with us. Only repeat consults pay a consultation fee, and only if a significant amount of time has passed between consultations, requiring us to review the case all over again. Because we put so much time and energy into these consultations, $100 is terrific value, and only rarely do people ask for a follow-up; we are usually hired at that meeting or at the next one, and so clients only pay for one consultation. As for windows, many clients prefer an open an airy space that is unlike an interrogation room. However, I am happy to close the office blinds, and do now ask clients what their preference is. I only wish Raghu had mentioned this to me at our meeting, because I think it's really important for people to feel comfortable in our office. In any case, I do appreciate all feedback, especially criticism, and am looking forward to speaking with this Raghu soon. Since he has worked with over 10 lawyers, Raghu certainly deserves to find one that satisfies him...

A passionate, hardworking and know what is he doing immigration attorney
Daniel Shanfield took my deportation case when other attorneys had told me my case was hopeless. I had read up on what to expect from a good immigration attorney; so I had high expectations. I must say even in that scenario Daniel worked really hard for me, and exceeded these expectations. Even with ...
