Answered all my questions and great to work with. Also got me great results on my case!

My family and I seeked out Lawyer Barbara Melendez due to her great reputation and we’re sure glad we did! When we first met with her she truly listened to all of our concerns and set out an effective plan to help get residency in the United States. Being in the middle of a legal status situation is very difficult and overwhelming. Thanks to Barbara and her staff we felt that we weren’t just another case, she kept us well informed which made us feel confident and allowed us to remain calm. She made us fell very comfortable with all her efforts and by her keeping clear and constant communication with us we were never lost in the process. This case took around 3 years and I couldn’t imagine going through it with any other lawyer. I would definitely recommend her! The professionalism, ginuine concern for her clients and knowledge she exhibits is exceptional.

Great experienced lawyer

We hired Barbara last year to help us through the K1 visa process, and it was a terrible experience. Throughout the process, the unprofessional behavior and inattention to detail displayed by Barbara and her staff was astounding. 1. One of the primary reasons we chose her was because she advertised that she is fluent in Portuguese, but as far as I could tell, that was not the case. While she seemed familiar with the language, she never used it to clarify things that my fiancé had difficulty understanding in English. 2. Two of the questions in the I-129 form were not answered by her office in the original submission and were included in a request for evidence. 3. The final documents and instructions we received from her office listed the DOS number of a different person, I am assuming one of her other clients. 4. I reviewed the DS-160 before it was submitted and found multiple spelling errors and incorrectly entered information which had to be corrected. 5. The most damning mistake was made in our interview appointment request. Barbara’s office misspelled my fiancé’s surname, and then switched my fiancé’s given name and surname in the online appointment application. On the online form, it specifically states that any errors in the name will result in processing delays. My fiancé was questioned about the mistake during his interview at the consulate, and each time he spoke with a government representative thereafter. When I asked Barbara about it, she put the blame on the consulate, which she later acknowledged wasn’t true after being shown evidence that her staff had been at fault. Ironically, In Barbara’s message apologizing for the mistake made with my fiancé’s name, she referred to my fiancé several times as “Daniel”, which isn’t his name. These mistakes were unacceptable, and incredibly frustrating, given the thousands of dollars that we had invested in Barbara’s services. After receiving the visa, we obviously did not enlist her services for the green card process. Before the submission of the I-485, we consulted with another attorney, and it was at that moment that I realized just how terrible Barbara’s service had been. In just one $100 consultation with this other attorney, I felt a reassurance that I never once had during any of our interactions with Barbara. In summary, I would advise anyone who is considering hiring Barbara’s team to seek the second opinion of another immigration lawyer—I highly recommend Adam Crayk.

Susanne was professional and diligent throughout our whole ordeal. The outcome of the case was better than we hoped, Susanne was helpful and encouraging every step of the process.
