My father–an immigrant, CA and U.S. Resident, graduate of CSUN, and Industrial Engineer–has had a troubled past, both personally and legally. He was recently sentenced to prison for over a year and as a result was issued a deportation order by Homeland Security, whereby he was transferred to a detention center in Arizona. We met with half a dozen lawyers–half of which charged us fees to simply sit down and talk with us–but many were rude, inconsiderate and reluctant to take his case. Our family was disillusioned and down, pressed against the wall emotionally and financially.
Thankfully, a good friend of mine referred me to Fadi Amer at Law 22. Mr. Amer reviewed my father’s case without charging for initial consultation; this was an indicator to me that I had finally come across an honest lawyer willing to closely examine our situation. After a three day review of paperwork and research, Mr. Amer called me with his analysis and opinion. Forthright, Mr. Amer was honest by explaining to me that this would not be an easy case. However, Mr. Amer concluded that there is a possibility of helping my father.
After our conversation, I met with Mr. Amer in his office on a Thursday. We discussed the case and agreed to help my father. This meant that Mr. Amer and his associates had to fill out paperwork and write a motion over the weekend. The following Tuesday morning, Mr. Amer booked a flight and flew from Los Angeles to Arizona for my father’s hearing. Not only was I surprised by their expedition of this matter; I was also relieved and reassured by their sincerity, courtesy, and confidence.
I can truly testify that law 22 is not only a professional corporation, but also a compassionate organization concerned first and foremost with protecting the rights of individuals. I am confident that Mr. Amer’s experience at the Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship & Immigration Services as an adjudications officer will prove be to invaluable in my father’s case.
