U visa case

Zero communication on my case. The assistant didn't seem very well informed or probably didn't understand my questions and wanted me to pay for consultation. They sent me a letter in the mail and I never received so they never received a response from me and they never emailed me or tried to call m...e regarding the form they sent. Every time I had a question over my case or update the lady wanted to charge me for a consultation. I feel like they have so many clients that they don't have time to actually take care of your case. The last time I had a question over the pre approve stuff they wanted me to pay for a meeting.

Unfortunately, you have to review the terms of your contract to understand that appointments with the attorneys have a cost and it's called a consultation fee. When we calculate our fee, we take into account certain factors such as the time it takes to handle a similar case and none of our cases include free consultations for the next 20 years which is how long U visa cases are taking. As to the assistants not being able to answer your questions, you are correct. She cannot provide you with legal advice because she is just an assistant and if you refuse to pay for our consultation fee with us the attorneys, then there is nothing we can do. I believe that you are a better fit for a non-for profit organization which can handle your case at no cost. We wish you the best of luck.

Excelente abogada

úper contenta con el servicio y la atención que me brindo todo el equipo. Yo solicité mas información por Facebook mientras veía un vídeo en vivo de la abogada Erika y en cuestión de minutos ya había agendado la cita por internet con la abogada. Decidí contratar sus servicios porque desde el principi...o recibí excelente trato y sobre todo me encanto la comunicación de todas las asistentes en la oficina. Considerando que ella es una abogada con muchos años de experiencia, me daba miedo que me saliera un ojo de la cara contratar alguien como ella. Fue todo lo contrario, sus precios son accesibles para todo inmigrante que busca un abogado que realmente le ayude desde el principio y no le robe el dinero.

Muchisimas gracias por su comentario! Es verdad que nuestros precios son accesibles y justos, en realidad reflejan la experiencia y el conocimiento que tenemos sin aprovecharnos de la necesidad de nuestros clientes. Nuestro despacho se capacita constantemente para brindar el mejor servicio y atencion en la industria. Hay abogados y despachos mas economicos es cierto pero lo que nosotros brindamos y lo que nos hace diferentes es una atencion personalizada desde el principio del caso hasta el final. En nuestros casos familiares nos aseguramos que la persona no solo este al tanto de lo que esta sucediendo mientras esta dentro de EU sino tambien cuando sale a su cita, cubrimos hasta el mas minimo detalle en los procesos de nuestros clientes para que queden realmente satisfechos! Saludos y bendiciones!

Thank you so much for your kind review! Honesty and experience is what characterizes our firm. We tell it like it is, we don't like giving our clients false expectations just to get hired. We would rather have a friend for life than an unhappy customer. Congratulations!
