She came to our office, broken, hurting, and terrified, but at the same time, her inner strength was palpable. We learned that Selam was once a bright and hopeful young woman, anxious to make a difference in the world and to contribute to her communities; however, traumatic events in her childhood, followed by years of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her husband had silenced her.

United States citizenship is the culmination of an immigrant's integration into American life. U.S. citizens can vote, hold certain public offices, petition for foreign relatives, and remain outside the U.S. for lengthy periods of time without fear of abandoning their residence. Also, importantly, a U.S. citizen may not be removed or denied entry into the U.S.
America's story begins with refugees fleeing religious oppression in England. Since the seventeenth century, this country has welcomed and sheltered those fleeing violence, repression, and a lack of freedom in their homelands. Although the process has undergone remarkable changes, U.S. law still affords refuge to the oppressed and persecuted and offers a chance to live a life of dignity and opportunity.
Deferred action has emerged as the tool of choice for the Department of Homeland Security to provide some form of status and stability for millions of immigrants. Benach Collopy attorneys have been using deferred action for over a decade to stop removals and obtain some relief for hundreds of deserving immigrants.

I would like to thank the office of Benach & Collopy for their dedication and effort they put into my case for a positive resolution. Attorney Ava never lost hope and stood by us through the end, she never waiver and was always accessible. I would forever be grateful for their service in providing excellent immigration services to people in community & beyond.

So, you have to pay right when you schedule. It's way toooooo overly priced. When you decide to take a case it's under contract. Even if the person is deported you pay them. They spooked my family member by telling her she had to be detained. Yes they are known to be one of the best. But I didn't see it. A case shouldn't cost over 20 grand. A lawyer should fight and tell their client it'll be ok. A consult should not be $250 and so many good immigration lawyers charge $100 for a consult. And charge $1,500 to represent someone not 5grand for one thing. If you can afford it then go for it. If not
