Customer Reviews for Law Firm of Rotimi Areola & Association
-
Hired Law firm 2017-2025After the denial of my I-130, I had a deadline of Sept 10, 2020 to file an appeal. I paid full and submitted all documents Areola requested before the end of August 2020 but he did not submit the appeal until April 19. 2021 (7 months after the deadline). Whenever I called to let him know that I did not get a receipt from USCIS, he just said "I sent it, no problem". He also did not send important document "a brief in support of the appeal". After almost 4 years of delay and time wasted, DHS requested that the Board should dismiss my case. Too Laidback & Perfunctory. If you are here with a positive review, consider yourself among the lucky few!!!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
