My great thanks to Root Law Group! Excellent team, attentive good attitude towards the client, punctuality and high professionalism - this is my impression of the work of Root Law Group. I had a difficult case, I was very worried about the result. Lawyer Mariela Sagastume deserves the highest marks as a professional and as a person. Mariela is a very experienced and intelligent Lawyer, and a fantastically kind person. I thank God that Mariela was my Lawyer. I'm very lucky! I wish Root Law Group success and once again thank you very much!!! read more

Root Law Group is simply an amazing Firm. From the 1st call James Root was very professional, detail oriented and caring. He took the time ( more than 1 hour) to answer all our questions ( and they were a LOT) and provided us with all that we needed to get started. The team is also amazing , very professional, structured and is used to working with clear processes wich I highly appreciate. I worked mostly with Laura and Daria especially who were amazing , professional , flexible and extremely helpful. I also highly appreciated their availability and responsiveness ( I sometimes sent an email with a question and got the right clear and effective answer in less than 10 min ) and it happened many times ! They also were ready for all obstacles we faced. I am very impressed with their high level of professionalism. They clearly deserve their great reputation. Highly recommended! read more

Perfect service and very professional service. Very satisfied experience. Special thanks to Helen! They are very quick and not ignoring you after payment which is very important for me! the best law service i met in USA! read more

They will take your money and will do nothing . Fake promises and non professional approach I think this firm is just a scam and they charge thousand of dollars just filling out applications . They absolutely have no any different approach . Save your money and do not go to this firm . This firm will just take your money with no results read more

My wife and I couldn't be happier with our Immigration Law experience with Root Law Group. We worked with James, Julia and Robert to handle all aspects of getting my wife's Green Card. They were responsive, professional and thorough. They took care of filing all of the complex paperwork with the government, kept us informed on the status of our case and prepared us well for our interview. Less than a year later, we were all finished. Couldn't have done it without them! read more

Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, detailed. Always answered my questions in a timely manner. Very knowledgeable about the laws. Organized and went above and beyond what was needed. I called around and out of 5 different lawyers I chose Root Law because not only did they come highly recommended (a friend won his case) but they also aren't afraid of taking the long, rough road if it means winning he case. read more

Wow wow wow! I wish I can give them more one stars. I also have to add dislikes Please DO NOT go to this place. There are so many professional lawyers and law firms not this place though. They will take your money absolutely do NOTHING. All they care about is your money. I agree with Anthony E ! You know what I'll just repeat his words! This firm is just a SCAM and they charge thousands of dollars just filling out applications. They absolutely have no any different approach. You will never feel connected with them personally. A Cold hearted, unprofessional, not passionate bunch of money zombies sitting there. So Please save your heart, save your money, and save your time and find yourself more humane attorneys who can protect your rights as a human. You have to feel compassion and passion before any kind of service. Do yourself a huge favor walk away from this place! read more

I had an amazing experience with Rootlaw! Thank you for being a real professional! You're an ultimate problem solver! Great job! Keep it up!

I usually don't leave comments but I had the best experience (4 years past) with the staff and Attorney from Root law group, so I like to say something about this law firm. My friend recommended me since he was so happy with his case handled by this law group. I took my case with Attorney James root , who is very professional and spend time with his clients to prepare the case . Long story short, I was 100% satisfied with Attorney and his staff during my case with INS. Good work James. I will recommend any one who need attorney to just try once Root law group services and find out yourself. (A. Singh ) read more

Unbelievable. When you open up the Yelp app it says "free consultation on the telephone. Call now." I did not need a free consultation at that point but I did call to find out the timelines for filing. I called and the girl who answered the phone around 10:45 AM on December 5 not only refuse to connect me to an attorney but was extremely rude when I asked her about a timeline. Somehow she assumed I did not need an attorney for my case. But I definitely do. So I asked her what the timeline was and she was like we're not gonna talk to people who are going to do this on their own. What the Hells wrong with her? I have no idea why she made that assumption. This phone call alone will prevent me from hiring this attorney. When I told her the way she handled the call would guarantee I wouldn't hire them she said "that's OK" so I'm writing the review so the attorney can read this and see if that's really OK read more

WARNING!!!! If you are looking for an immigration attorney please look elsewhere. This law firm is only after your money and do not even care about your case. There are thousands of other immigration attorneys that sincerely care about your case. You only see Mr. James once and after you hired them, they send you over to their so call experienced paralegals. I hired Mr. James for my husband case and it was one of the biggest mistake I've ever made. Thanks to him, my husband was stuck in his country waiting to submit a paper work that Mr. James said we did not need. They had made several mistakes along with his "experienced" paralegal, David. To begin, they filled the I 601 form wrong, along with the ds260.David then submitted the Affidavit of support (6) times. Yes SIX times!!!! I also let him know that his birth certificate was not translated and it needed to be translated. Well Mr. James just handed me a form for me to do it instead. Really!!! We spend over 5k and they cant even translate the birth certificate??? So what is the point of having an attorney? After our case got held back for 7 months because they keep filling the affidavit of support wrong, I went into the office and spoke with Mr. James to let him know what was going on. He acknowledge that his law firm had made mistakes and he promised someone will contact me that same day to fill another affidavit of support. Well a couple days went by, a week and finally after the second week I got a call from one of his paralegals. However at the point I had filled the affidavit myself(which got approved at the first try). we then were called into the office so that Mr James can prepare us for our interview. Well he only gave me some documents and when I asked him if the conformation of the ds260 was needed, he stated no. Which in reality we did and that was the reason why My husband was stranded in his country for 2 weeks. All in all this was a horrible experienced and I will never refer them to anyone. read more

Horrible !!!! Never going to that place !! They took $150.00 dollars for consultation and I didn't hear anything from lawyer ! I got information from the paralegal which she downloaded from computer ! The attorney didn't even come to the phone to speak with me and I left many messages and no one called me back. On their website it says consultation is free but hey charged me $150 for it. Very unprofessional, avoid this place!! The paralegal thinks she's the lawyer there. Which is ridiculous. read more

I want to thank Mr. Root and all of his courteous staff for the good work and support they gave me to get my change of immigration status: from working permit to permanent resident and, finally, to American citizen. They made every thing straight forward for me and made it even easier allowing me to pay his fees in monthly installments. Thus, I really want to say how much appreciate your help...THANK YOU MR. ROOT AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOUR STAFF. read more

Worst experience ever!!!!!!!!! I used rootlaw after starting my immigration with another attorney. Initially you get mr roots attention UNTIL you sign with them and then I dealt with paralegals and there accounts dept for 2 yrs. Mr root is absent. The only calls I got were about payment and when I asked for my package of paperwork they kept me in their boardroom for an hour and refused to give me anything til I signed paper work committing me to another $1100 in fees. Astounding!!!!!! Theres a constant change of staff so you never built a relationship with any one attorney, documents were submitted late to the point my case was in jeopardy. I took on new representation to salvage my case. Horrible attorneys. Never again read more

James Root is a great attorney, very knowledgeable always available for extra questions and very serious about his work. His team is amazing I personally dealt with Julia and Christine, they have been always very supporting and really caring. I felt well taken care of, they are always answering to my emails or phone calls. Even the receptionist is super nice. I am very satisfied and thankful I chose this firm and I recommend it to my friends without hesitation or doubts! read more

I wanted to take a moment to thank Mr. Root and his team for their wonderful service and support over the years. My immigration battle has been a long marathon and every step of the way Mr. Root and his associates have been there to meet with me, hear my concerns and explain everything in a calm, rational manner. In difficult times they gave me the encouragement I needed to keep trying. Mr. Root or his associates were always there to answer any questions. Today I am a lawful permanent resident of the United States, and I thank Mr. Root most sincerely for helping to make this happen. They prepared and filed the necessary paperwork with USCIS. They allowed me to pay their fee on one occasion on an installment plan for which I am grateful. Thank you Mr. Root! read more

Root Law Group sucks,After the initial consultation with Root esq when he sells you the service.he will never answer your calls or emails. He assigns the case to one of his many paralegals and you are at their mercy. After he has got your money you will never speak to him again. Do not use this guy read more

I am a business owner and have worked exclusively with Root Law Group for all my company's needs for the past 5 years, including three H1B working visas, multiple business visas and adjustment of status from working visas to permanent residency. Every single case was handled professionally, in a timely manner, and most importantly every single one was approved. Mr Root is an outstanding immigration attorney who knows every aspect of the trade and will find a way to deliver the desired result. If you are looking for a reliable, professional immigration attorney, look no further! read more

The staff is great and so helpful!! Mr root is a great lawyer and really friendly. Much love for this place

I highly recommend Root Law services. The staff is extremely professional and dedicated! They provided me great support and were always ready to assist me. read more

James Root is a professional and is very skilled in what he does in his specialty. His extensive experience at dealing with the intricate process of immigration issues is valuable to have on your side! read more

Don't believe negative reviews you read. These are probably competitors. Root Law Group team is very professional and always answered my questions in timely manner. I have been a client of Root Law Group for over 6 years and have had nothing but positive experience with their firm. Mr. Root or his staff personally answer all of my questions within the same day. They also diligently worked hard to get my cases prepared and filed in as little as two weeks. I challenge anyone to compare Root Law Group immigration services to any other Los Angeles immigration attorney and be the judge of quality of legal services. read more

I first came to the USA in November 2004 on an H1-B visa. In 2006 my employer expressed his contentment with my performance and offered me help to obtain the permanent residence. I started the process with a law firm, but unfortunately it did not work out. They referred me to Root Law Group. During my first interview with Olivia I noticed she was very proficient, and so I restarted the process and applied for permanent residence in 2007. Later on Martin and Mr. Root worked in my case as well. I recently obtained the permanent residence and I am grateful to Root Law Group for the excellent service they provided. They know what they do. Now, having said this, don't think you can lean back and relax. You have to follow up. It is in your best interest. read more

Went to them for immigration help, they filled out the paperwork, sent a staff attorney to the interview - but he did nothing while he was there - now that the two duties in the contract have been fulfilled - my case is on hold and Root and his other attorney will not return my phone calls. I need copies of my paperwork from them. Would have considered using them for the rest of the process but they are GONE. I expect a more professional effort from an attorney who has received thousands of dollars in fees. Find another shop. read more

Finally I have a time to write review about this company.. I used their service and it was wasted my time and money. I had sign contract for $5500 .. I paid deposit $2500 and rest monthly payments. So.. I had a lawyer there. Don't remember her name now.. ( she was his wife) . It was five years ago. So they had my immigration case. I can't say that they was doing for my case anything.. they just made view that they were working on that.. they always changed my date of hearings on the court and charged me extra $500 for that every time when they was there just for changing date even not for my case.. after two years when I paid out amount of my contract with them they just stopped answer on my calls.. I tried to rich them like a month.. and finally did it .what my surprise was when they told me that my lawyer was quit three months ago and it was during the time when I really needed their help with close my case!! Because of them I lost few years with my legalization in USA. After the while I had a call from them that I didn't pay something in my balance. ( they usually charged me automatically from my card). They asked my card again. I gave them and they charged extra ($350 or $500) ..don't remember now for sure.. it wasn't already matter because I found nice notary who helped me with everything and it cost me five times less then with root law group. So I just didn't want any business with them anymore. What was my surprise few days ago...it is five years after my contract with them!!! Some one was TEXTED me on my phone! Even not call..and said I have some balance to pay???? What?? $6500-$7000 is not enough for nothing??? People PLEASE PLEASE don't go there. You will loose your time and money. Check all filter reviews for them! It is under regular reviews. They filter them specially! I'm sure mine will filter tomorrow too! But maybe someone will find it anyway! Good luck everyone! read more

Disappointed with the help I received. They took my money, and when there were some delays in my paperwork with immigration, attorney James Root stopped taking my calls. I had to deal with everything on my own. Thank God, I am now a US Citizen, and i did it all by myself! I felt they charged me all this money, and when they 'thought' there might be a problem, he disappeared and mysteriously stopped taking any calls. Sometimes, I think people feel nervous about immigration, but after my experience with James Root, I should have done it all myself from day one! Buyer beware! read more

Very disappointed with their service I would not recommend this law firm because I went for a consultation and after a day I get a call back saying they could not do nothing with out no explanation why they could not help me out, hopefully they will never be in the same situation read more

I just got the news that my immigration case was granted! I am so happy and relieved about the final result. I really appreciate everyone from Root Law from James Root to the secretries. Special mention to ms Julia Kozlova who was very hands on with my case. She constantly emails me on updates or reminders and was very patient and professional throughout. It wasn't all smooth sailing on my part but they surely were there to answer my questions via email/phone and it was also easy to set up an appointment to see them in the office. I have been using their office for everything immigration related and so far have not been let down. Really appreciate all the hard work! Thank you and God Bless! read more

Great Team.. Root Law simply delivered. They gave me a checklist. I got all the necessary requirements together. They took it from there and got my E2 visa approval. The lawyers of RL were straightforward. No stories to entertain you. No promises. They just got it done. read more

I am so happy I selected Root Law Group to help me with my immigration needs. I was so terrified of the whole process and they immediately put me at ease and took care of everything for me. My application process went so smoothly and Mr. Root and his staff were so knowledgable, helpful and patient. In addition, it is very apparent that Mr Root really cares about he turnout of each of this client's cases. Thank so much Root Law Group for all of your help. read more
