    Someone recommended me to go this location for immigration help. What a mistake. They said they are helping low income people that's not true. Right hand doesn't know what is left hand doing. First person that l met he asked me to pay $200 for the whole package they call it. later on another person said no we charge $250 office fee. And now you tell me this is low income rate? Many low income l know they make $1000 Month . First person that l met he was super nice and professional Mexican guy. Haitian women l met super rude... Take your case somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend this place.

    More than Year ago I requested new green card, my wallet was stolen. Every time is almost impossible to get someone on phone. Line is always busy. Now I know what they do. They put people on hold and after 20 minutes hangout. Wasting days. Terrible service.

    Met with Emilio Garcia and he was uninformed about the laws. Right after meeting him I met with two other attorney's and was informed the opposite what he said. FYI. He is not an attorney and has a basic degree from Miami Dade College. Online he is shown as a representative to customers. Basically zero knowledge of the law and definitely not a person to take any advise from.

    I don't know why the place has bad reviews, if you come with patience and a good attitude everyone treats you right. I've been coming here since 2013 for my DACA paperwork and renewal, never had issues with the front desk, I'm always seen my Mike LeFrance and always had a good experience. If you show up by opening time there's no wait time… if you show up after that of course it's going to be busy so come with patience if you're not willing to wake up early.

    I used the services of this center for 3 long years and waited to resolve my case with immigration. Damaso Rodriguez never informed me of the many requests from immigration present proof of various documents. He had to contact his superiors to figure out things. The Court Officials said that if Damaso Rodriguez doesn't know what a disposition is, he is not a lawyer. He is a scammer. People be aware. Since the very beginning, since opening the process, he never informed me of the documents I needed until when immigration dropped my case. I paid his fee, plus the extra, useless expenses and fees I had to pay multiple times on his wrongful recommendations!

    It's not our first time to ask for help and advice in CLS. Since always we have the feelings to be considered really important to them. No doubt that it's a blessed group! My wife and I will be forever grateful. God bless them!
