Great experience! Intake staff was very pleasant and thorough. Attorney Tara called wintin a day. I was very surprised as how soon I heard from her. She was professional friendly and eager to address my concerns.

Difficulty communicating.
July 3, 2025

It was so difficult to get an intake started. It took two attempts. On the first attempt the person taking the intake kept talking about another matter that was already being handled by an attorney. He couldn't come to understand that I wanted to start a new intake on a separate matter. After a long period of struggling he finally just started another intake on the matter that was already being worked on. On the second attempt, it was also very difficult to get the across that I wanted to start a new intake. I finally did get a new intake started, but when the attorney called he said that he couldn't make sense of the intake.
The conversation with the attorney was also difficult. It was hard to get him to talk about the same thing I was talking about.

Attorney Nir has taken every step of my journey along with me, through the legal and immigration challenges my family have been dealing with for the past few years. Always prompt to respond to my phone calls and emails, he has the keen ability to identify potential issues along with recommendations very quickly - often times immediately. I would highly recommend Legal Shield for all legal matters as I have used them in the past for other challenges.
