Ms Akada James is so professional and committed to her work. It was easy to communicate with her and she makes everything clear for you to understand. She is straight forward and will correct you if you are going out of topic. She will guide you from the start to the end. I highly recommend her to any new immigrants looking for a lawyer especially for people like me who came in looking for refuge.

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Akada James and can vouch for the fact that she is professional, knowledgeable of the law and puts her clients needs first. She maintains a balance of professionalism and empathy and goes above and beyond to help you navigate the webs of the law. She ensures to guide you through the process and provides feedback to any doubts/questions/concerns you might have. If I could, I’d give her 6 stars out of 5!
