Can attorney keep fee without providing service?
Immihelp!
This is the best forum saving aspiring immigrants lot of time and money.
One of my friend, who was working for a big company paid company contracted attorney $2000 for processing his green card. Attorney issued fee receipt for PERM processing. Later the post gets eliminated and employee was no more with the company. On asking refund from attorney as he cannot pursue the case and PERM fee was paid by company (as law was modified), the attorney issued a modified receipt saying this is an advance for I-140 and I 485, (which he cannot pursue). He has also not replied for request of my friend, for self petition. What are my friend's options to get the money paid back for not providing any service?
Thanks in advance.
