"Do not waste your money here!! Unprofessional company who are lazy and will let time pass before doing anything for your case. I worked here for a year and witness a lot of unjust treatment. You are better off going somewhere else but here I promise. NO VAYA ALLI, AHORRE SU DINERO! ELLOS SOLO QUIEREN TU DINERO"

"I like the lawyers but the receptionist and helpers need to be more focus on their job and the responsibilities that they have instead of talking personal issues with each other during office hours,"

"Raza, NO vengan aqui! Inexperienced people who do not deserve to call themselves professionals. They stole our money. Case # I cancelled my case with them and now they DO NOT WANT TO PAY ME BACK MY MONEY. I do not recommend this place! From my experience, they are in the business to make money more than helping people. This is the first review I make in regards to any business. I decided to do this because I do not want more people to be victims of radio advertisements, false hopes, and lies! I created a contract with this immigration firm on January 2023 in Fresno, CA. I told the paralegal I was applying for advance parole, to which he said "bring everything near the date you plan on exiting the country". They offered me a lawyer to answer my questions and represent me on the day of the appointment. Me thinking they are the experts, I signed the contract. Big mistake! Today is August 8, 2023, and I have not left the country. These are the reasons why I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE, and what I learned going through the roller coaster ride. 1. The paralegal lied to me. I NEVER SPOKE TO A LAWYER EVEN AFTER ASKING TO SPEAK WITH ONE numerous times. I learned there is only one lawyer in Fresno where I went, and most are in LA area. My case was sent to someone in LA area. 2. They will not tell you your case gets send to a lawyer in LA. They never told me. I went to their office in Fresno, I expected a lawyer in Fresno. 3. The person ( I think another paralegal) overseeing my case asked me for my documents, to which I did send and never heard back. I emailed her again, and called numerous times with the response that "someone will call me back". It was like this for almost 2 weeks until I decided to tell them that If no one calls me back, I am going to cancel my case. 3. Finally the phone receptionist told me she was going to transfer me to a lawyer. THEY LIED AGAIN! it was another paralegal who did not have a clue about my case. 4. This paralegal told me that he did not know my case existed because the first paralegal overseeing it quit, and did not send him my case ( From January to July, really?). Yes, my case was under a rock and no one was working on it, and I had already made arrangements to travel. 5. After sending my documents again to the new assigned paralegal, he said on email, that it will take at least 5 moths to hear back from USCIS. This was on July. 6. At this point I was irritated, overwhelmed, and angry so I decided to visit the office where I originally visited (Fresno CA) , and speak with the new paralegal assigned to me to cancel my case. To my surprise. I learned that this paralegal was also in Los Angeles area. 7. To make it worse, They had me call a separate number to initiate a cancelation process which takes 74 hours they said. MORE LIES! It took them 3 weeks to decide that I was ONLY GETTING LESS THAN HALF OF MY MONEY BACK. I called to speak to a supervisor, and they never reached back. At this point, I realized that THIS FIRM IS TERRIBLY BAD that they had to make a cancelation department to deal with the issues people have, and that management doesn't want to deal with. 8. I received a letter stating the amount of money I was getting back and how much they charged for the services they did. The letter included fees of conversations I had with paralegals and office assistants, all to which I made the calls searching for answers about the whereabouts of my case. I never asked them anything else. The calls lasted 1-3min. 9. I called the cancelation department again asking for a supervisor to speak to because this was unfair. I haven't spoken to one yet, and now they have me waiting another 74hours while they "revisit the work and time spent on my case". At this point I don't think they will refund me in full. I just don't want more people to fall victim to false promises and lies."

"If I could give this law firm 0 stars I would. Where to start. This place is 100% scam never did we speak to lawyer my mother inlaw case was moved to different paralegals and its been a year no follow up phone call nor any status update. My husband would follow up and check status but little did we know that they would charge us by the hr for those phone calls which is absurd because we paid for their service which should include those phone calls. When we asked for our money they sent a itemized list that include all those calls but nothing to do with our as other then request sent for a police report. I will be calling ca board on this company. There customer service reps are rude and no help. Mind you my mother in law does not work and disabled and gave her money to this scam of a place. Ahorrense la molestia de contratarlos tengo mas de un año esperando que consigan solo un reporte de policia para el caso y nada me pasan con una y con otra persona y a todas les tengo que volver a contar mi caso.. la verdad solo kiero mi Dinero para atras por que me train con puras mentiras"

"I was greatly disappointed in the service this law firm provided. It is mostly run by assistants and paralegals who aren’t in coordination with each other on the lies they tell. All they inform you of is payments but it is impossible to ever get a hole of a lawyer. This is a pyramid scheme that seems like they contract lawyers on the side. The employees are highly rude and unprofessional. Information gets lost from person to person. I’ve had issues for over a month now and it’s hard to get responses. Save your time and money and go to a legitimate law firm because this is a joke."
