Lacayo & Associates

They are sacammers and frauds they should really enjoy the money they make now because someday they will pay for all the wrong they do. They’ve made me go to the office to pick up some simple files yet everytime I go they lie and come up with some dumb excuse to not have them. Today Mr. Lacayo dared to tell me in front of another client that he could take 30 days 60 days or not give me the files of he didn’t want to. We’ll see about that sir. It has been more then a year since I requested the files and I just can’t comprehend how these frauds are allowed to rob people. I had a lot of respect for him cause my parents knew him personally and trusted him, but he thinks he can get away with anything cause people don’t stand up, but God’s is very fair and will do justice.

A client came to me who had been misled by Lacayo & Associates. There is no other way of putting it nicely. Luckily, I was able to recover her money after realizing he had farmed out her case to an attorney without providing any other service. When client asked for refund of her money because no work was done, he refused. He lied to my client, and then after the client filed a complaint, he lied to the State of California, about filing paperwork for her case. No paperwork was ever filed for her, as her government records show. I was finally able to recover 100% of her money; though nothing can really make up for her pain, anguish, and lost time.
Lacayo isn’t an immigration attorney – he is a consultant and works with other attorneys. He cannot give legal advice; people should just be aware of that and take their immigration cases elsewhere.

Latin people be aware. Of this place they don’t know anything of about. immigration I came here to fix my legal status in 2007 the person who was helping me is Maria Elena I never went online to check with the bar of lawyers of California she never told me she wasn’t a lawyer I was waiting for 6 years to fix my legal status until I hired a real lawyer 6 months I fixed my legal status every time I changed my address Maria Elena charged me $ 50.00 dollars $ 80 dollars she always said you have to wait until the immigration law change just people be careful with this place

BEWARE of Lacayo & Associates. The reviews posted are very much true. They definitely took a few thousands of my money and did nothing but give me a line of you know what. Then Leo promised if we came back to try again that he (Leo) would not charge us and be paid by him. Yeah right! what a lie. Please if you value your time, money and business dealing, DO NOT go to this company or anyone associated with them.

I have come here many times. The only reason being is that my parents suggested it. But now that im older I see that this place just isn’t worth the travel time or money.
My taxes got done here, first time filing taxes by myself. It might have been my first time, but it doesn’t take an expert in taxes to know that if the guy doing them for you keeps getting up to ask questions, he obviously doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Also this guy named George that works there, THE WORST! Can’t even be nice, or courteous. He knows me because I’ve worked with him many other times. And he can’t even give me a wave, or a hello. His ego must be up the butt or something. Really annoying attitude.
George is the first reason why im NEVER coming back here.
The second is the pricing. Geeeezz!
I needed to file 5 applications some being just one page each. They were charging me $ 5000!
So I did my research and learned that I could do this myself, for only $ 1500, what the USCIS applications cost.
So I said screw Lacayo & them.
Going solo.
Never recommending this super bad customer service place to anyone, bad employees, especially George! And super super high stupid prices.
;)

please please nobody go here leo robs people for their money and takes advantage of people who are not legal and can not stand up to him. he frames to be a lawyer and wanting to help but its all lies. i also went to the top and made a complaint found out i was not the only one to say this nor will i be the last please dont waste your time or money on this place do your research corectly this place needs to be shut down!!!

Messed up my DACA document and was denied due to poor filing and not organized. I do not recommend anyone to go to these scammers

I came in a month before The Tax deadline. My parents have been customers of this place for quite a whole and had received good help in filing their taxes. As I made my first $ 15g+, I wanted to see what I could get back and with reassurance that they knew their stuff.
I will be a customer to this place for the foreseeable future. As a student and filing for independent status for the first time, I paid $ 80 for my taxes and in return was given a $ 2500+ refund after only expecting a couple hundred at best. It was a quick 15 minute process but well worth the wait.
Don’t get them done for free next time, you won’t get your maximum possible refund. For taxes, you must visit Lacayo & Associates, they know their stuff well.

Hello,
Sorry but I have to disagree with «Kervin C.» Lacayo has been assisting our family for years and we have never had any issues with paper work not getting to Immigration offices or any other issues. Lacayo and his staff do an excellent job, the close attention they give to each individual case is outstanding. I recommend these people 100%. Good Job Lacayo keep it up!

Let’s see… low rating because a very close friend of mine was expecting to receive her receipt and case number from a citizenship application she submitted (along with the application fee) through this office LAST YEAR.
Apparently the ins received it until this month (about 8 months after she inquired about it to this office).obviously something not right here, the office could of at least NOTIFIED her of what the heck was holding up the application process… We know of others who applied for citizenship and INS never took this long to receive the application.
If it was me, I would not apply through this office nor recommend it.
