Just some gossip... about bad lawyers.

On the comment section of a random post on Instagram, a woman that adjusted status some years ago, shared that she had to pay her lawyer the fees for the EAD/AP even though it was filed along the I-485.

 

Even though many comments pointed out it should have been free, she was pretty triggered and insisted it was not free. She was also told that applying for AP has numerous requirements, it is very hard to get it approved 😑 and traveling on it was very risky and she would most likely be denied entry back into the US.

 

It is sad that these lawyers, on top of charging insane amounts of money for things applicants could do themselves, blatantly lie and charge people extra fees they should not be paying. Why this woman so wholeheartedly defended the lawyer is beyond my comprehension.

 

Not that it was necessary to share stories of lawyers lying and scamming people, but it is always shocking to read this kind of thing.

Our lawyer charged us about the same amount as the filing fee just to fill out the form. Seems once he found out how much money I made the process became a la carte. He also filled out an outdated 485 form and didnt even apoligize. Cost me 2 months processing.

All these lawyers should be reported to the bar.

99% of all lawyers give the rest a bad name.
