I consulted with Ms. Tucker several years ago regarding a horrible divorce I am still going through. I had an attorney at the time but needed advice as he was pretty much MIA (never hire a "flat-fee" attorney, once they have your money they disappear). As I am currently going through paperwork for an appeal to the appellate division, I remembered how Ms. Tucker's advice helped me protect my meagre savings from my soon to be ex-husband/vulture who took everything else from me. I wish I could have hired Ms. Tucker, but she was not available and so I stayed with the flat-fee attorney who pretty much destroyed my life. Unfortunately I still have to remain anonymous as my case is dragging on, but I highly recommend Ms. Tucker, and if she were an appeals attorney, I would be hiring her asap!

my divorce case begin 2012 the person I am divorcing a capable husband who probably made the proceeding unusually long and near impossible. I had five lawyers before Ms.Tucker and she is by far the best lawyer. Ms.Tucker have made the record to my case that was obstructed beyond recognition by officials. without Ms.Tucker dedication to monster motions , brief sized never to forget to prepare you for higher court. the most intelligent legal writer and exhibits queen. She gave all others lawyers something to read about.... the guardian ad litem still having " paranoia" episodes each time she hearing Ms.Tucker name . as I am now on appellate court with the very record of Ms.Tucker who set my side of the story for my current lawyer now taking appeal.
without her I would have none. Ms.Tucker is more than a lawyer
she is a friend , she has business degree in fiancées , she is loyal , her creative legal writing are far epic than anyone I retained before and she is cool , calm and collective. as I feel I can fairly say with certainty after having six lawyers within all cost and rates. she is reasonably on costs and with broad understanding interests and practiced different areas of law. (" lucky me")

I was looking for a family attorney for my child support and custody in NY. I cannot afford much so I was looking in the internet for 'affordable' attorneys. I was calling attorneys for the free consultation they had advertised on their website. Well as many of you know, they are not free. If they do talk to you, they will talk to you very little but tell you to come in to see them so there goes the free part. When I came across Ms. Crawley's name, I had just about given up. Thank goodness that I didn't. She actually gave me a free consultation on the phone that took almost an hour with no charge. She was very knowledgeable and very well spoken on the phone. When I met her, it was the same thing. I knew that she would be the one that would be representing me. In the beginning, what caught my eye was that she was really affordable than all the rest-- BELIEVE ME! But when I started dealing and working with her, she has the best work ethic. I can email her at anytime and sure to get a response right away. If she is not able to respond right away, she wlll let you know or explain later. She is always easily contacted on the phone too! When I leave a message, I always get a call back the same day. The best part about it is is that she doesn't charge you for every phone call, email, stamp, etc that the other lawyers do. I cannot say enough about Ms. Crawley. I have already been with her to court twice and came out successful. She knows what she is doing and she knows the law. I would definitely reccomend her to anyone that needs a family attorney. You will not be sorry!

Highly Recommended!!!!
Mr. Pasang was so helpful, respectful, knowledgeable attorney. I could have easily given 10 stars if I could. My wife got her green card within 9 months. He explained the whole application process thoroughly. He is always available and finds time for meeting in person if we need any assistance. I am thoroughly satisfied with the amount of effort he put on my wife’s case. I would definitely recommend Lhachoepa Law Offices to everyone who is seeking for immigration assistance. Besides great service, the fee they charge is also very reasonable compare to other law firm. Once again, thank you so much Pasang for all you great work that you provided on my wife’s case.

The receptionist was nice and seemed more interested in my case than the lawyer. Andrew seemed annoyed as I explained my situation. I did not receive much help,it was a complete waste of time. He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I guess this place is only useful if you need to get your documents in order.

When I meet John Garzon I was in custody of the immigration and customs enforcement because of a prior drug case I had any years ago. Mr. Garzon represented me at the immigration court and I was immediately released by the immigration judge and my immigration case was terminated. I continued to have Mr. Garzon represent me and today I am a united states citizen thanks to the work that Mr. Garzon did for me. I am so thankful for his representation and I can honestly say that he basically saved my life.
