Leonard Douglas M Saunders

I was so nervous to seek the assistance of a lawyer. My husband and I make a humble household income between us, and we had already been through the ringer before finally breaking down and realizing we needed professional legal assistance. We were so nervous to get taken advantage of or end up spendi...ng our only savings on through-the-roof legal fees. Len was the only lawyer who didn’t charge us some crazy fee just for an initial consultation - in fact he called me on a Saturday after receiving my email inquiry, and never charged me a thing until I had actually met with him in person and was feeling comfortable about the whole process. He broke everything down and was transparent every step of the way… he even worked with us on an extremely reasonable payment plan. We haven’t been officially approved for the green card yet, but he texted me this evening to inform me that their office sent off all our final paperwork this afternoon and provided us with a tracking number. I am feeling peaceful and confident after seeing how all the other steps in this process have gone, so far, with Len’s assistance. Honestly, seamless! I only wish we had hired him sooner instead of wasting about a year with Boundless Immigration, which got us nowhere except more confused and feeling hopeless about the whole process. Thank you, Len, for everything you’ve done to help us get our lives on a forward track! Thanks to your help I was able to quit my other job where I was being hosted on a TN visa and miserable… I now have a new job doing something that I love, in the US, legitimately… there is less stress in our home and we are expecting our first baby together in the fall and looking forward to the rest of our lives together!!! All I can say is hire Len now, don’t waste any more time on online scams like Boundless. He’s the real deal!

My wife and I originally began our immigration process on our own. As a US citizen, I filed reams of paperwork for me to sponsor my then fiance to immigrate to the US. After several near misses with our application almost being denied, we contacted Len's office and explained our situation. Len of...fered to do our application for my wife's green card at a significantly reduced price because we had already done half the work. He collected all our information, and guided us through to our interview. He thoroughly prepared us for what to expect, giving us a great deal of confidence in getting through what could have been a very intimidating interview process. Len's receptionist is a very nice lady who was very easy to deal with. She is extremely well organized which makes everything come together into a nice white binder when everything is finished! If you're looking to immigrate, or change your status, and have any questions about doing so, Len is a great guy to deal with. He is very friendly, and will take the time to make sure YOU are being well taken care of. He'll give you his personal cell number with instructions to call him at any time if there is a problem with a border crossing or any other problem that might come up during the interview. This is not a 'money chase' kind of law firm. Far from it! It is a place where you will be welcomed, befriended, and taken care of with thoughtful consideration. Where you will be comfortable telling jokes as well as getting down to business. At least we did. I encourage you to contact Len and his staff if you need any type of Immigration work, you will be glad you did.

Oringinally back in 2014, after my son was born with my then husband, I had initially begun the process to sponsor them both for their American Perm Res Card. We are all Canadians and I had my Green Card already thru my first husband, (no kids with him). The lawyer I had hired in Los Angeles was Ala...n Klein. We started the paperwork for my son and husband, in California, for them to have residency in the US. I had taken the "one time furlough" of 2 years, where you are allowed to reside in another country other than the one you hold a Perm Card to. 2 years earlier, I had went back to Canada, and had my son in this time. My 2 years was up Nov 2016. Feb 2016, I find out my husband is having an affair. By June 2016, I found a new home in Point Roberts WA, that was affordable and would now solve my problem of living back in the US (because my son's father would not allow me to return to L.A with him). With great swiftness, I cancelled, or should I say "abandoned" his application. My son's application, however was still processing thru. I made several calls to Mr. Klein to check in, see how things were rolling along, and if any updates. Every time, I got the same answers. "Everything is coming along nicely Ms. Varnes". Let me be clear about the one major bit of info I SHOULD HAVE HAD from Mr. Klein....When my son turned 2, I (he) was eligible and could have simply crossed the border with my son and our paperwork and he would have gotten his Perm Card immediately and for free. So as the time rolled on, and by this point it was taking waaay too long for even his Advanced Parole to come. I called Mr. Klein again. I actually got to speak to him, and when I asked how things were coming along, he responded in anger, and disgusting tone like I was wasting his time. He said he did not care, and proceeded to tell me about his Mother passing away and basically what I got out of it is that he lost all professionalism and was having some kind of mental breakdown. The point with Mr. Klein. He did NOTHING!!!!! He sent nothing in, never even got started and lied to me basically for 2 years! Once in Point Roberts WA, I started searching around for a new immigration lawyer. Someone with integrity, pride in his work and professionalism. I found Len Saunders thru mutual friends. This is how he helped me... *Len immediately did my son's reapplication for Perm Res. Also adding that now our new residence was WA state, no longer CA state. *As my divorce entered the Family Courts, just before hand, my ex husband made an attempt thru the Hague Convention to terminate my sons PR application, claiming international abduction. This was a farce and a huge abuse of the Convention, however he did get me to Supreme Court. The Master called to "suspend" my sons application. (So I did nothing as it was later reviewed as " Well did the Master "terminate" the application or just suspend it? or cancel it? It was unclear.) *In the meantime of this happening, my sons final meeting was schedualed for July 5th with USCIS in Seattle WA. My second appearance in Supreme Court was July 15th. *I went to my USCIS meeting with a letter from Len Saunders to my Officer at USCIS explaining in detail the very depths of my situation and that I just needed more time to try and salvage the Perm Res card application for my son at the Supreme Hearing. I was granted an extention. *Side note...Len was always willing and available to come defend me in Supreme Court if needed, however at this point my Family Lawyer took over this end, thou they consulted often together. *I won in Supreme Court. My son was now allowed his Green Card. Leonard Saunders not only stuck by my side in all its ups and downs, and hair pulling moments. Len went above and beyond and never charged me extra. He gave me his rate, and his word and stuck to it until the job was done. Thank you Thank you <3

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.
