Incorrect advice, delays & vanished half way through the process, avoid!

I hired Joe to assist me with my visa application. He advised against filling out standard forms that are required for the correct filing. He did so in spite of being prompted several times about the specific documents that were missing in my application. By the time I realized the mistake they made,... I had already wasted several months. To top it off...when I presented them with the evidence and the mistake they made...no reply - they just vanished (with the full payment already made)! I had to eventually hire someone else to complete the process for me. And just for the sake of comparison, the following lawyer was terrific, much more communicative and cheaper. I would absolutely look elsewhere for immigration advice.
