Its a waste of time and $ 200 consulting fee. We can not ask whatever we want to know in deep details because he claims that is the part his assistant does it .Could have consult with his assistant instead of him . Its an hour long meeting but nothing new we learn from him.

I would give a 10 star rating if google let me! I recommend this law firm, our lawyer Socheat and his partners helped me in the process of obtaining my green card. Following all his help and guidance I was able to obtain my green card with much ease. Socheat is very professional and knowledgeable and I will continue to recommend to many others as well as continue to work with him with other cases!

We were given wrong information when we called NIS regarding my husband becoming a US citizen. We ended up needing a lawyer. Thankfully a friend recommended Socheat Chea. He was very easy to work with. He & his staff were very nice & helpful through the entire process. Anytime we would call with questions they were very responsive. They made a very stressful situation as pleasant as possible & were there every step of the way. We have recommended him to another friend from England.

We deeply regret using Socheat Chea for our immigration needs. The team is extremely unresponsive, disorganized, and consistently slow to file critical documents. They repeatedly forget about clients, neglect to send necessary forms, and give the impression that you are an afterthought rather than a priority. Communication is practically nonexistent, and every interaction feels frustratingly inefficient. This level of unprofessionalism has caused unnecessary stress and delays in our immigration process. We would never recommend this firm to anyone seeking competent legal assistance.

Highly Recommended – Professional and Compassionate Legal Support In my experience, attorneys can often be slow to respond—especially if you haven't paid them or signed a retainer agreement. However, that was not the case with Attorney Socheat. From the very beginning, he was kind, approachable, and incredibly generous with his time. His staff were also welcoming and professional, making the entire experience smooth and comfortable. Even with just a brief meeting, Attorney Socheat provided thoughtful and thorough consultation. His commitment to helping people truly stands out. I would highly recommend Attorney Socheat to anyone seeking legal assistance, particularly in immigration matters. You'll be in good hands.

"I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Socheat and his team for making my immigration journey a complete success🙏. From the very beginning, they provided clear guidance, handled every detail with professionalism and care, and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my case was approved, and I am now proudly part of this beautiful country that I truly consider my home🙏. Mr. Socheat and Msr. Zainab went above and beyond, answering all my questions patiently and making what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and hopeful. I felt supported and confident throughout. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who truly cares about their clients and delivers results, I highly recommend Socheat Chea P.C. without hesitation. Thank you for helping me build my new life here—5 stars aren't enough!"🙏🙏🙌💫

I regret using this law firm for my immigration case. During the initial consultation, Socheat was very confident and reassuring, which made me feel like I was in good hands. However, after signing, the level of service dropped significantly and communication became difficult. I was later assigned to Zainab, and my experience with her was disappointing. She often came across as dismissive and unhelpful, and it felt like my case was not a priority. It was also very difficult to get timely responses or clear updates, which added unnecessary stress to an already important process. Overall, I felt unsupported and undervalued as a client. If you're looking for a law firm that is responsive, communicative, and genuinely invested in your case, I would recommend exploring other options.

I cannot thank Attorney Socheat Chea and the entire team enough. They made what felt impossible become possible. From my very first consultation four years ago, everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive. They gave me confidence and hope when I was uncertain about my future, and they stood by me throughout the entire immigration process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I am now a U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident. I will always be grateful for everything they have done for me. Thank you again to Attorney Socheat Chea, Shelby Burnam, and everyone at the office. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs an immigration attorney.
