This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Bad experience!

After I paid them The consultation fee from the first call, I waited more than three weeks for an appointment and did not get an appointment with him, then I sent them an email asking for the money back because I am not happy with their service. He called me on the same day and was rude in talking to... me and hung up the line in my face!!!!! Bad service very rude attorney I do not recommend it at all.

UFC Law the best Immigration FIRM

Hiring UFC Law was the best decision I made while being detained by ICE in Lumpkin GA, hired Mr.Mo in first week of March 2018 and got me out on low bond in first week of April 2018 it meant a lot because I had to Mr.Mo my daughter birthday was April 5,2018 thus firm is very professional and detailed... with their work I can't thank them enough for helping in my case and letting me get out to be with my daughter. Also Me Elizabeth is,a very professional and listened my case with detail. I would definitely recommend UFC Law for immigration needs. Thank you to everyone at UFC Law.

Best Lawyer in Immigration Bonds & Immigration Court!!!

This lawyer is off the chains awesome!! I was stuck in Immigration (ICE) custody, and every other lawyer told my wife and my family that i was going to be deported & they couldn't help me, but not attorney Mo! attorney Mo kept me informed, he let me know of all updates & at my court hearing (in Georg...ia), attorney Mo fought very hard and strong for my legal rights & he got me an excellent low immigration bond!!! If you want an immigration bond or help in immigration court & you want a smart lawyer who knows the law & who is going to fight very hard for you, attorney Mo is DA BEST IN DA COUNTRY!!!!

Will fight as hard as you willing to fight!!

Look people this is the number one rule to immigration, YOU PAY TO STAY! Mo and his paralegal Elizabeth are awesome. They ARE very professional. Depending on your case he will be up front and honest about your chances. Even if chances look tough with many obstacles it is your decision to fight it. Bu...t like I wrote you pay to stay. That’s the government not the lawyer. The more challenging your case the more it will cost. Everyone think oh wow that lawyer is super expensive.... please, what do you expect, the cheap ones will just sit around and wait and wait and not fight. Mo told me directly with my husband 4 cases it was going to take a lot of work. But he was willing to fight as hard as I was willing to go. That meant that whatever documents I had or didn’t have I had to provide and dig. Whatever money I had to pay that I had or didn’t have I had to pay. So with faith in God and trust in Mo I did what I had to do. Let me tell you something that seemed so impossible became possible! Thank God! Mo was able to stop the deportation, reopen the case, and get us his green card. Mo and Elizabeth his right hand women are amazing! They will work as hard as you.
