Jose came into our office yesterday. He had been here before. About a year ago he came in to have a consultation with us and it seems we didn’t have the “right” answers that he wanted to hear. This led to Jose searching for what he really wanted to hear.
For the past year, Jose has visited several immigration attorneys to confirm the information we had already given him. The answer was always the same; except one day he found one attorney who gave him hope. Unfortunately, the attorney took his hope, his money, and didn’t do anything to help.
We hear this story often and there isn’t a week that goes by where we don’t see a person who has entrusted their life and their savings to an inexperienced attorney, or worst yet, to an unscrupulous attorney or immigration consultant. There are times that we have to give people the bad news – that there is nothing that can be done to help them. The person is usually devastated and in their desperation will state “I’ll find a better attorney and he will be able to help me.” The truth is, if you search for the answer you want to hear, you will always find someone who are willing to help you; that is they are willing help you be separated from your money – leaving you hopeless.
