I came here to get help with an I-601 for my mom (due to FREE consultation). I was quickly shut down by Mr. Reza who spent no more than two minutes with me through Skype. He didn’t really listen to my issue and told me he couldn’t help and for me to stop wasting my money because I was at a dead end. However, I felt a hunch that the information was wrong. Thank god for that! I spoke to over 3+ attorneys after. They all told me the opposite. Now I’m working with an attorney that knows what he’s doing and no, I’m not at a dead end. In fact, my issue is pretty simple to work with. I wouldn’t recommend this business. Even if it’s a FREE consultation. If you still choose to go, please get more opinions from other attorneys.
Mr Athari and his team were very kind and competent. Their guidance thru the immigration processes gave me peace of mind. During the stressed times it was comforting to know they were there. I was so pleased with their services, now I refer my sister's to be their client. ?
I think some people reach a point in their lives when they believe they're such big shots that it's acceptable to waste other people's time, Reza Athari is one of those people. We made an appointment with him for a free consultation, arrived on time and waited and waited for over 45 minutes then we were finally lead to an empty room, Reza wasn't there, but Skype was running on a monitor and yes our appointment was through a Skype call. As if this wasn't disappointing enough Reza was in such a rush that the call lasted less then 3 minutes where he told us he couldn't help us and we were quickly dismissed before we could explain the whole situation. It looks like these free consultations are just a fishing expedition to catch some big fish, and we weren't big enough. In retrospect I'm thankful that I didn't have to deal with this Reza for longer than those 3 minutes, we have since found another lawyer that took the time to listen and give us good advise on how to proceed.
If there was an option for 10 negative starts that's is what i would have rated my experience with this "lawyer" if I can even call him that! I arrived at the appointment and everything was good until I met with Reza! One minute and a half into the conversation and he stops me, then says that the free consultation is not to give me law classes when this character didn't even let me talk! I don't know how people even choose him as an option for help! When the one that needs more help is him!
Worst one. Do not use Tham. After you pay they don't care about you
