Isabella Mayzel

I called them in the end of November 2017, asking how much it would cost to prepare power of attorney papers (three documents) with apostille, for selling our apartment overseas. The answer was: $350. My next question was: How long will it take? The answer: About four days. I said OK, let's do it. G...ave my credit card information to them. Sent to them the samples of exact documents we needed. All they had to do was: copy those three papers, change the name and passport information into my daughter's and notarize them with apostille. I asked them to let me know when everything is ready, gave them my phone number and email. Waited for about a week - nothing. Had to leave on vacation. Called them right after I came back - December 13th 2017. Turned out, they had not started yet. Later on they said that they received only two samples from me (which is not true, as I have copies of all my emails to them), and now they wanted $450 instead of $350. I said OK. When are the papers going to be ready? (We had a buyer for our apartment and needed to mail the papers out as soon as possible). The answer: It will take about a week, if your daughter can sign it tomorrow (for apostille they have to send it to Trenton). I worked next day and couldn't take my daughter over there (my daughter is a legally blind military veteran, it is a permanent condition, she cannot drive, and she is going through cancer treatments, on top of that), so we had to ask her friend to drive her to the law firm next day. In a week I called them and ask: Are our papers ready, we need to mail them out? The answer: No, it will take about a week and a half. Anyway, when I finally got the papers from them, I took pictures of the documents, with my cell, and mailed them out same day through DHL express mail, paid more than $100 for that. I also sent the pictures of these documents to the real estate agent overseas. Who quickly responded with bad news: there were multiple(!) mistakes in each of those documents! The law firm clerks were not able even to copy them without mistakes! So. We lost the buyer, because he could not wait any longer. I had to ask another firm to re-do the documents. And the owner of the firm never called me back! They charged me almost half a thousand dollars for nothing! That is how this firm works! Never ever am I going to have business with this law firm again.

Ms. Mayzel is truly amazing! She helped me out since the beginning to the end of my immigration needs. She have worked on numerous complicated cases not only related to my family but I've also referred close friends and they have always gone above and beyond. If you want someone that is honest, kn...owledgeable and that will respond to all your questions and needs with promptness then you found your immigration lawyer.

I came to Isabellla Mayzel two days before leaving the United States forever. I had a deportation order for 12 years and nobody from the attorneys had been able to achieve a positive result for me. Everybody charged me thousands and thousands of dollars but each motion to reopen brought me deeper int...o trouble and farther from the green card. One "famous" one from Brooklyn, charged me $12,000, promised to reverse my deportation order and get the green card in 6 months. I paid him most of the money. He kept promising me for 2.5 years that the result would come next month. Then I found out that he never filed any motions or documents from my wife. When I came to Isabella, I had a ticket to leave. She literally took me off the plane. Whatever she told me would happen, happened in the time frame she gave me. My case was reopened, I got the green card and went home with a wonderful feeling that I am able to return back to the States. I went back to Isabella 3 months ago because I became a citizen and now we are bringing my parents to America with the green cards. God bless Isabella!!!

I dealt with many lawyers before Isabella Mayzel and can assure you that she is the best lawyer in the area. My immigration case was so complicated that no lawyer could help. Until however somebody told me about Isabella and that she wins even the most complicated cases. She was my last hope so I mad...e the appointment. I can see why some people write that Isabella is rough with her clients; I also got that impression in the first ten minutes of me talking to her. However, I can assure you that it is simply because she needs to know what she needs to know in order to help you. I started telling her my life story that was irrelevant to the case so she had to make me talk to the point in order to come up with the solution. She is no nonsense lawyer; she knows what she is doing and will only take your case if she can help. Isabella, her office, and Mayzel law group treated me with the outmost respect and professionalism. Isabella has the biggest heart even though she is a very strong, sharp, brilliant, and busy lawyer. When I was stressed out and down and was bombarding her with emails or phone calls, she never reminded me that I am not the only client she has… She always took the time to explain everything in details. She truly cared about me- I always felt that. Just a few years ago I had no status and now I have a Green Card, thanks to Isabella! To anyone who needs help- go to Isabella and relax… you will be in good hands.
