Family law

I didn’t have a good experience with this attorney. I think and feel she only cares about money. A job that my current attorney said should have cost no more than $2,000 cost $7,000 with her. She also got facts incorrect and had difficulty writing correct sentence structure. And when I correctly thes...e things her charges for revisions was outrageous. She also have no warning when the retainer was gone but just continually charged more and more. Don’t be deceived by her sweet voice and sales pitch. I don’t think she cared about anything more than getting paid for very poor quality work!

A True Professional

My experience with Sou is truly outstanding. I approached Sou with a very challenging and difficult K-1 Visa application. Before I chose a Lawyer I did a lot of research and all advice pointed back at Sou. She is a highly experienced and knowledgeable lawyer, the communication throughout the process ...from the first consultation to the present was simply excellent. I am deeply impressed by her efforts to ensure a smooth, swift, and successful outcome. Once again my case was very particular and extremely challenging. Not to mention difficult to the point I didn't think I would even have a chance of a possible approval. Thanks to Sou and her professional stewardship, me and my fiancée were able to obtain our Waiver and K-1 Visa approval in a timely manor. I'd like to wholeheartedly recommend Sou's services to anyone who needs a professional and understanding attorney on their side. She is highly recommended and recognized throughout her industry and profession. Sou, actually listens to ones needs and provides a rare caring aspect to her that is very hard to find. I personally thank you Sou for all you have done. For you have brought happiness and love back into my life once again.
