Ilona Dzhamgarova
Replied last December 07, 2015Dear Petr , you did same review 3 years ago. I told you many times that you never hired me in 2012, contacting and hiring a lawyer two different aspects. I never represented you because you failed to sign documents. I answer emails and phone calls on daily basis. You contacted me in 2012 by avvo and emailed me a denial letter to review from Poland and I responded to your questions that nothing can be done. In order to file a new application for U visa you failed to sign documents and provide necessary documents in order to proceed. When you failed to provide and sign paperwork therefore I sent your money back to your account.
