Solely focused on money and nothing else
I called them to discuss a case and they came across as so hungry for money that they won't even try to understand your case or your needs and simply push you to hire them first.

Very grateful
Michele Carney was my attorney back to 90s. She did not charge me and worked on my immigration case for free. She is the best attorney I could wish, also she is a wonderful person. I am so grateful that I am living in US.
