Leonard Douglas M Saunders

My experience with was terrible. At first he seemed very good but as soon as I was committed to working with him it was like he dropped off the face of the earth!!! A process that was supposed to take 3 months in the "worst case scenario" has been going on for more than 9 months. He never returns ...any of my calls/voicemails. He was supposed to send me my file that he told me he had submitted 6 months ago and he never has!!!! I am quite sure he never submitted it in the first place and now he is too embarrassed to prove that he hasn't so instead he just avoids me, screens my calls, has his receptionist lie and if I do happen to catch him on his cell, he says he can't speak right then because he is in the middle of something and that he will call me back in an hour, or 20 minutes, or at 4pm...something specific....which means he is obviously lying and then of course he never returns my call! At this point I am going to have to find a new lawyer to try to help me out. What a complete was of time and money!!!! He has been TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! There is nothing worse than being committed to a consultant, trusting them...that they are working on your behalf and that they are professional and compensating them accordingly and then finding out the complete opposite. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else!!!

I found Len Saunders and the Immigration Law Firm in Blaine, WA back in 2011. By then, I had spent many thousands of dollars with unscrupulous lawyers and legal services promising my waiver but only wanting more fees. Len was a different experience right from the beginning. He was completely hones...t and blunt about my situation, and researched my case before he requested any money at all. By the time I sent my first (very reasonable) payment, he already knew and understood my situation and suggested a straightforward, cost-effective, relatively speedy and ultimately successful remedy for me. The other lawyers and services got thousands of dollars from me simply for taking my calls and spending time on the phone with me. Len has always gotten back to me quickly and worked honestly on my cases, as well as those of the several referrals I’ve sent his way over the years. In fact, everyone I know who has worked with him literally cannot believe that there would be anyone out there who might feel differently. Sure, anyone’s case might not go the way they want, but I can’t imagine that there would be a more qualified & honest person to resolve an immigration matter than Mr. Saunders. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these unscrupulous lawyers and services might have made some negative posts themselves. I give Len Saunders & his Immigration Law Firm my highest rating, and recommend them to anyone with a US border crossing issue.

We hired Len for my green card application, he has a flat fee structure, half up front, half when you get your immigration apt, in my case, in Montreal. The entire process was 7 months beginning to end. His door is always open, I stopped in countless times, and called many, and his fees never chan...ged. He gave us excellent advice, kept my application on track, guided us through each step. We crossed the border often (2-4 times a week) while my application was in process, and he helped us prepare a border package. I never had a problem, but I know of others who were stopped repeatedly at the border while their applications were in process. When I went to Montreal, Len gave me a full binder with everything I needed, fully organized. Others in Montreal were shifting through stacks of paper and waited for hours, I was in and out very quickly, everything was perfectly organized. I knew what to expect at every step, and did exactly what he told me and it was a breeze. I have read some of the reviews on this site, and I doubt very much that they were actually clients, or if they were, they didn't do what Len told them. If you are going to hire an expert, follow their advice. There is a lot of paperwork to do, and Len breaks it down into bite sized pieces, that can be completed every couple of weeks. It never felt like the onerous process others have described. If you didn't follow his advice, it can be overwhelming to try and pull it together last minute and you won't get the results you want. Len was recommended to us by our neighbors, and we have spoken with other people who have hired Len, and no one has a bad word to say. Len knows what he is doing, he is friendly, and very approachable. His service extends beyond just the green card, he has diarized when I can apply for citizenship, and his rate is reduced significantly for existing clients to complete that process. He went through a list of do's and don'ts for the next 3 years, to ensure we don't make a mistake that would jeopardize my application for citizenship (eg, don't vote, among other things). We had other issues that were not part of Len's original work, and he did not charge us anything to help us out. You can't get a better immigration lawyer.

Mr. Leonard Saunders with The Immigration Law Firm PLLC. was great and very reachable and communicative at first and prior to receiving my N400 Form with a partial payment of $1200. I have called his office multiple times, left messages, wrote emails and have had no response. It has been approximatel...y 90 days. It is and has been very frustrating and disappointing to put your trust and money on someone who clearly has shown NO ethics, or business etiquette. I still have no idea were I stand and now have to go through WSBA Washington State Board Association and file a formal compliant.
