"Most blessed to have had the support and legal expertise of Atty Marco Samson. Excellent communication, utmost integrity, top-notch advice and knowledge of the law. Honest and straightforward. He does not sugarcoat any situation and prevents false expectations. Compassionate to the core. Outstanding strength of character. My gratitude runs deep. Thank you very much."

"I cant say its a bad place but some of lawyers are bad. I mean too bad. Lack of cooperation for sure. They dont really care your case and act arrogant bcz for free of charge. My case was started with Christine Hoang and it went smooth n super good. But since my case transferred to Nancy, process just stopped.Nancy never gonna answer your email or scheduled phone call."

"This review is long overdue. What Api legal possesses, perhaps their most valuable asset, is a young Attorney named Marco Samson. Marco represented me about a year ago when I was facing eviction. The situation seemed absolutely hopeless, as I was facing trumped up charges and the legal team of a multi million dollar corporation. Against these almost impossible odds, Marco completed an almost untouchable legal victory. Not only was the eviction dismissed, he had them return my security deposit. It was a complete victory, and Marco completely covered when the other attorney made a mistake, he was completely the superior of the two. Let’s be clear that the other attorney completely lacked integrity, was disrespectful, unresponsive and tried to really work at the margins of what is even legal, contrasted with Marco’s excellent, honest work, where he treated his peer and everyone else with the utmost respect. I just want to also add that not only is Marco as sharp as a razor, he is compassionate and caring and has a genuine interest in the well being of his clients. At least he did in my case, he was there often just to hear me out and what I was going through. His professional development is worth keeping an eye on because there is no place he can’t go, and I’m sure I will see him someday as a politician or in some sort of regional leadership position. All in all, I had a great experience being represented by API legal, due in large measure to Marco’s excellent work."

"We wanted apply for green card and lawyer asked high cost. Eventually I found this place, I wasn’t even sure they will contact me back, but they did. I received my green card after one year and my son also. Very hard working organization and we have to understand many of them just volunteers. It might take time but they will complete all documents with great responsibilities. I am recommending all my friends who need a help with legal problems. Thanks"

"If I could, I would give it no star for this place. I called for my DV case. The assistant told me she would pass my case to an attorney and call me back in a week. Three weeks passed. Nothing happened. When I called them back, the assistant told me she couldn’t find my case file and will call me back ASAP. She called me back in a hour to tell me they cannot take my case and refer me to Bay Area Legal Aids. Wow!! I wasted 3 weeks for nothing. I know these people are underpaid and overworked but they took 3 weeks to tell me they cannot take my case. Wow!!! Better to get a private attorney. It might cost a lot but it would be faster."
