Testimonials

  • "Thanks to you and your team for all the help through the journey. I am grateful :)"

    Bernadette T. (April 2021)

  • "I cannot thank Ms. Bangudi enough for giving me hope again. She got me through a very long and stressful divorce and child custody case. Not only is she highly knowledgeable about the law, she also displayed a high level of skill and confidence during my divorce trial. I won my divorce case 100% with full legal and physical custody of my children. If in need of an attorney that will walk you through the ins and outs of your family or immigration law case, please seek the help of Ms. Bangudi. She is truly gifted in her field."

    (March 2021)

  • "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."
