Business ProfileforJoseph Law Firm, P.C.

This firm created a tremendous amount of damage, headache, and heartache in a process they clearly should have indicated basic regulations in filing for a simple non-immigrant filing process ahead of time. This firm provided unclear and unhelpful consultation and misdirected a process that has now been costly in many ways. A simple conversation with us on this matter would have made it very clear that a perspective change by us on the most accessible manner for a purposed meet and greet with a foreigner into the US would be to focus on a tourist **** in the short term and return then, if any decisions were made for immigration, to discuss this process to return to the US with immigration ****s after. The outcome was an embarrassing and costly trip by my friends to their embassy and a mess of funds and headache now spent in this process that did not need to end with a denial. The denial could have been avoided by this firm indicating to us that any business orientation of interest when visiting the US, claimed on a B1/B2 non-immigrant ****, should consider what that means when having to disprove any interest in immigration by Section 214(b) standards. We were not adequately prepared in our consultation with this law firm, and I see no reason that this basic 214(b) information should not have been made very obvious. The negative outcome creates a need for refiling and defense now requiring more money and more time, more trips, and more headache in what could have been today a simple approval of a non-immigrant **** needed to have my friends come to the country and be hosted to introduce them to a country I am proud to be a citizen of! As usual in today's business landscape, businesses will deflect any responsibility and accountability they should have to provide reputable services, and they failed at doing so. In speaking with the head partner, I was addressed in an authoritative manner, offering no apology for the outcome but pure defense. I hung up; no way!

While in a consultation and prior to being hired, our attorneys provide as much information as possible to help an individual navigate their immigration issues, find the best paths forward for their immigration case and address potential pitfalls on a given pathway. Our attorneys are able to share their insight in these consultations, and upon the commencement of an attorney-client relationship, guide our clients toward their goals. Sometimes prospective clients will decide not to hire an attorney and to take matters into their own hands. When someone decides to proceed on their own and without an attorney's help the outcome may not be favorable. Obtaining legal representation is always recommended.Due to the rules of confidentiality, we are not able to confirm or deny that this individual was ever a prospective client of our firm. We would dispute any allegation regarding our professionalism or the competency of our attorneys. Nonetheless, we wish the poster well in his future endeavors.
