Just the WORST attorney office that I ever tried to contact!!! I called them, asking for help with my case, they don't even listen to me. They just said "sorry we don't have an appointment available." The funny part is that I can schedule an appointment online... But for sure, after this great treatment through the phone, I'll search for a better attorney/treatment

Christopher was amazing ! my entire process from start to finish was smooth ! The only complaint I have is that the new receptionist was very rude , any questions I had seemed to bother her and she didn't want to help. Other then that i would definitely recommend community lawyers !

Updating 5/15/2025 - Justin who is the attorney called me and apologized directly about the issues that I had. He gave me his cell and to call him directly if needed anything additional. Greatly appreciate his understanding in this current political climate.

I want to thank Attorney Christopher, his assistant, and his secretary for all their support during my green card process. Thanks to their professionalism, patience, and availability to answer all my questions, my green card was successfully approved!!! I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of immigration legal assistance.
