Testimonials
-
"I was detained with a criminal conviction. Every other immigration attorney I spoke to were not able to give me any ideas as to how they could help. All they wanted was to quote me a sum of money. But Ms. Bangudi was honest and straight forward about the hard road we were facing. She did not sugar coat anything to get me to attain her as my attorney and she had ideas to start with. She worked hard to do the research and prepare for my case and I am thankful for her as I have been released from detention with all proceedings dismissed. My family and I are forever grateful."
