Our family's experience with this law office has been heartbreaking. When my father was detained, we were never informed that filing a federal habeas corpus petition was a possible legal option. We only learned about it after bringing it up ourselves, but by then it was too late, and my father was deported. We will always wonder whether things could have been different had we been advised of every available option from the beginning. After my father's deportation, we lost confidence in the representation and had to hire another attorney to file a federal habeas corpus petition for my mother because we were told our previous attorney was not licensed to handle that type of federal case. Thanks to that petition, my mother was released from ICE custody. Unfortunately, we continue to feel frustrated by the lack of urgency and communication regarding my mother's case. We understand that immigration cases are complex and that no attorney can guarantee a particular outcome. However, our family has often felt that we had to push for updates and ask about possible legal strategies instead of having them explained to us. My father has already been deported, and every day we worry that my mother could face the same outcome. We hope no other family has to experience the uncertainty, frustration, and heartbreak that ours has endured.
