Marilyn Orbach-Rosenberg is the best immigration lawyer ever! She is very knowledgeable and experienced. My case was difficult and had many complications. She was always there to reassure us and guide us. If she takes your case she will fight hard for you. I was on the verge of losing my job and she pushed hard to get my papers. And I did! Worth every penny! Thank you Marilyn! We will never forget what you did for our family. 100% recommended!

I hired Ms. Fiss for my divorce, and not only was she excellent, detailed and assertive with her demands as an attorney, she also demonstrated an abundance of care for myself and my children during the entire process. Her expertise and rapport with the family judicial system allowed me to trust every single action she took in my divorce....and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Mr Kasuri is well known in the queens neighborhood and he's by far the cheapest attorney. I hired him a few years ago to do an adjustment of status for me and recently my citizenship, I dealt with him personally and he is very helpful. Like some other attorney, they don't have anytime to see you once you hire them. My experience with another attorney My Gehi, he wanted to charge me a large sum to file for my parents,where as Mr Kasuri charging a fraction of that amount. But on a personal note I'll definitely recommend MR.KASURI TO ANYONE who's in need of a good attorney to help with their immigration case.

My family recommended me to Mr. Kasuri. They had been using him for 20 years. Mr. Kasuri helped my husband get a greencard when other attorneys I consulted with told me it was unlikely. He fought hard for our case, even filing a motion to reopen the case when he felt the immigration made the wrong decision. I would recommend him.

Mal servicio la secretaria tarda en responder dan la cita para corte pido el permiso en el trabajo y el abogado lo llama media hora antes para decir que a sido aplazada la corte por un papel, si el abogado no sabe que documentos entregar que se puede esperar del proceso.

Initially, Frances demonstrated responsiveness that gave me confidence in her abilities. However, I later observed a decline in attention to detail and execution on my case. Subsequently, she became unresponsive to emails and returned my call after a significant delay of 2 months. Despite an apology and my willingness to move forward, the pattern repeated, with another 2 months of unresponsiveness. This lack of professionalism has been disappointing.

Contacted him about a real estate lease transfer. A family friend referred him so gave him a call. Couldn’t find anything about him online though I found his website maliklawoffices.com later which says call for a free consultation. So the call went fine and he forwarded his email address for me to send a copy of the lease. He also mentioned that his fee depends on the amount of work but also that for my case it should be around $1000. It took me a week to get the lease from the other party and I emailed it to him stating that I would like to move forward ASAP. It was Friday 5pm. There was no reply or acknowledgement so gave him a call but didn’t pick up. Also texted him but no reply. Finally a at about 8pm my wife gave him a call from her number which he did pick up. So she again mentioned the same case at the end of which he said it will cost around $1500 to which she said it was a bit high. So it sounded like he wasn’t interested in the case anymore so I texted him to please ignore the message and the email(to which the lease was attached) because we weren’t going forward with the case(with him), to which he replied “no problem. Already Ignored”. Remember he didn’t reply to my email, call or text before. Fair enough if he wasn’t interested in the case anymore but after asking someone to forward a document and to just “ignore” them when they do, whatever may be the reason, is unprofessional in my opinion. The fee is not really an issue for us but reliability is. Subtle it might be but this kind of attitude is something you should be wary of while choosing a lawyer we have found out the hard way from another lawyer we hired before.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
