Leonard Douglas M Saunders

My immigrant husband fell out of immigration status a number of years ago. We originally hired someone we thought was a lawyer, who actually just worked under a lawyer and misrepresented himself. That individual has since been banned from practicing in the State of Washington. Len warned us about ...him early on, but we disregarded his advice. After we lost our representation, we went back to Len. He helped us straighten everything out and was very knowledgeable about the process. My husband's case was very old and complicated, but Len helped us work through it. Ultimately, my husband became a citizen with Len's help, something we didn't believe was possible. Len never charged us more that was agreed and we had receipts for all of our fees and filings. Len has an open-door policy and is very approachable.

After having an issue at the border that rendered me ineligible to enter the United States, I hired a law firm back East to help with my re-entry status. They provided me many assurances they would be able to help, and I forked over $5,000 to get the job done. Long story short, they did nothing, but ...cash my cheque. I was lucky enough to see Len Saunders being interviewed on the local news a short time later and I gave him a call. He drove up from Blaine to meet me, and told me exactly what we needed to do for re-entry. I decided to give another immigration firm a shot, and I am so glad that I did. Len has been outstanding, going above and beyond (he even helped me with a letter to the law society of Canada, related to the firm that gouged me, for no additional charge). Len's been first class, and very responsive to all my calls/emails/texts. I would recommend him to anybody in need of an immigration attorney.

This man and his company are COMPLETELY untrustworthy. As others have stated, at the beginning he is easy to reach and helpful. The moment he got our filing fees for immigration we haven't been able to reach him, he dodges calls, emails and texts. Our file hasn't come back yet, he refuses to give us ...a receipt and to be quite frank, I don't think he ever even filed (we have called the lockbox where our file should have gone and they have not record of it at all). He constantly lies, saying he has gone down to Seattle to check on the file and also to get me emergency travel pass (he never did either).

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.
