Law Offices of Teresita Marsal-Avila

Horrible and professional. Teresita is joke. Marcial is a joke. The only professional attorney in that office is Martin. These attorneys never call people back but sure as hell make sure they charge you every week religiously and are assholes if you miss a payment. I witnessed one of teresitas employees needed a jump on her car on a rainy October day and Terista just jumped in her audi and totally left the poor girl stranded. I know this because my boyfriend ended up giving her a jump. Teresa couldn’t even give her own employee a freaking jump. That alone says a lot about that woman’s character. This law office is a joke.

I started my case for adjustment of status, first you meet with Teresa Marsal Avila for the free consultation, she tells you that she could help with the case. Now that you are confident enough with this law office, you go back for an appointment with one of the assistants to open and sing a contract ($ 500 non refundable deposit)(payments every week), they take all your info, and tell you they will call you. Of course they call you every saturday your payment is due but they never call to inform you about the case. You have to call the assistant who is in charge of your case (NOTE: You will never see Teresa ever again after the first consultation!!!) just for her to tell you if you have any questions!!! (Its a service you are paying for! It is not one of those organizations that help immigrants for free) So it is reasonable that since they are getting paid to call their customers regurlarly to inform them about the status of the case.

Before you think the government is inefficient, think again. I thought the government was slow to approve a simple form but that was not the problem. What was the problem is the form they were supposed to send was not postmarked for OVER two months after I payed them to send it.
Considering that I payed thousands they cant go a couple of blocks to the nearest mailbox and send it? Avoid if you need something done quick.
They always say they will call you back and then NEVER do. Also they always give you the run around when you try to see one of the lawyers. The clerk tells you they are busy and you need an appointment even though you can see behind the desk that they’re just socializing drinking coffee. Again it is equally hard to get ahold of the lawyers by phone to see the status of the work you payed good money for them to do. The clerk just tells you to make an appointment. Then they never honor their appointment times. I dealt with the male lawyer and when asked a question he gave me the runaround saying he had ask his superior.
