Reviews
I highly recommend William Velie Attorneys at Law for any immigration related needs. Their team of case managers and experienced attorneys provided me with exceptional guidance and support throughout my immigration process. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to ensuring that my case was handled efficiently and effectively. From the first consultation to the final approval, they kept me informed and up to date on the status of my case. I am grateful for their hard work. Abogados increíbles, y su equipo de trabajo siempre atentos, responsables y respetuosos. Estoy agradecida por el arduo trabajo. Los recomiendo 100%.
They have been answering my questions for years, even before I ever decided to use their services for the green card for my husband. Once we finally decided to get my husband his green card, they were very prompt to start the process and were very detailed. In the beginning I did have a hiccup with one of the paralegals and I voiced my concerns and complaints, and the matter was taken care of quickly and after that smooth-sailing. They changed my paralegal to Perla, she is a doll. Always in contact and making sure to keep me abreast of any situation. I honestly did not have to contact them, they always contacted me before I even had any questions. I was very satisfied. Once my husband got his green card and we paid the remaining, they still were available to answer any questions. Months later, I had a concern and emailed the office. Someone called me within 2 hours to talk about my concern and on top of that even wrote down the answer again on an email that same day. I have suggested this law office to several close friends from around the world. I am so sorry it took me months to write a review. But let me just say this...all those bad reviews you are seeing: it's easy to complain, but not so easy to offer praise where it is due. I will continue to refer their services to whoever is in need. :-)
Immigration matters are such a delicate issue given how much is often at stake for the immigrant in question. This firm handled my case without any form of empathy, and their professionalism left much to be desired. They went AWOL at some point in the process and even though I sent them (Briian, Will, Craig and their numerous paralegals) multiple emails enquiring as to the status of the application, I never received a response from any of them. Because of their inaction, my employer ended up having to engage another immigration law firm that luckily handled my case speedily, and with excellent communication to boot.
Paid them 4,000 down to do my waiver took them 3 years to get anything done .. After the waiver was approved paid them another $500.. ((our contract was $5500. .)) But sadly we never heard from them again. They started ignoring phone calls, emails. Not mention the many times they moved offices losing my paperwork’s , tax documents etc and I had to take it back up there because it somehow got lost. Oh and we’ve been waiting forever to hear from NVC for a visa appointment because that’s what was left to do come to find out when I called the visa center CRAIG or William or their “helpers” never sent anything to the NVC. Like they had nothing!!! There’s the proof of the lost paperwork smh!! Never use them!! They are scammers they will take your money and expect for you to keep paying them for their lousy unprofessional service. They don’t even deserve one star! I have a friend who also had started a case with him and is currently going through the same issues. How unfortunate. 🥴
Scammers!!! Don’t waste your time or money. Hire an attorney who will at the very least, respond to you and give you updates on your case. Once they got my money, these guys ghosted me faster than the fake Nigerian princes ghost their victims. Every time I reach out, it’s always a different person handling my case. For two weeks now, I’ve been waiting on a response from them. Still nothing. The saddest part is that this isn’t new behavior. I’ve been stuck with them for five years now and I’ve regretted it since day 1. My priority date is now current. One would imagine that my immigration lawyer would be on top of things, and in communication with me about my case. Nope! — Update: just had a call from the firm after I sent ANOTHER email to everyone asking for an update. During the call, Briian (married to William Velie/owner) was professional enough to curse, insult a former employee (who they put on my case), state incorrect facts about me/my case, and get upset when I tried to correct her, and hang up. Keep in mind that she talked (at me) for 6 minutes, during the 7 minute call, mostly about the problems she’s facing. The staff is mediocre at best, and are professional scammers: they charge you a price up front, which you pay, and then suddenly, years later, they claim you were not charged for the full process and tell you that you’ve to pay, again. It’s crazy that the guys you hire to protect you are the ones who screw you over. I do NOT recommend these guys at all.
