Law Office Of James A Roberts, PLLC - Fairfax, Virginia

Erika C.

My 17yo foster son gave them $200 in cash (before he came to live with us) because someone recommended them to him to help with his immigration process. That was in 8/2024, and he was unable to attend his appointment because of CPS picking him up from the shelter he was in. He and I have called several times seeking a refund. They have given us the runaround and I don't think they ever intend to pay him back.
Mr. Roberts may be an excellent lawyer, but I'm sorry to say his staff is very disappointing and frustrating.

This is, without doubt, the most disheartening review I’ve ever had to write. This firm has complicated the lives of at least three individuals I know. Don’t expect the guidance of a competent solicitor; instead, you’re likely to be humiliated by ill-equipped and unprofessional staff.

To any potential clients, consider yourselves warned: this is, by far, the worst law office you could choose. The staff are not only inexcusably rude but also utterly lacking in resourcefulness and empathy. You’ll remain in the dark about the management of your case and how your hard-earned money is being spent.

If you have an abundance of time to waste on endless calls, chasing indifferent staff for appointments, then perhaps this firm is for you. If you enjoy being shouted at, patronised, and reprimanded for the simple act of seeking updates on your case, by all means, sign up. Otherwise, steer well clear.

To those who have suffered at the hands of this office, I have one piece of advice: many of you may have grounds to file an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Your hard-earned money, your tears, and your dreams mean absolutely nothing to them. As an asylum seeker, you are treated merely as a source of cash flow. They show no regard for how their actions—or their appalling lack of action—can utterly devastate your life. This firm does not care about the irreparable damage they cause, so hold them accountable.

Mr James Roberts is an excellent and wonderful attorney who played a major role in the happy outcome of my case.He was patient and caring from start to the end. He was by my side throughout the entire process of my case. I can't forget his humanity and personality.Again,i share my feelings of happiness with all his staffs who facilitated the work till the end. They were frank,dedicated and welcoming staff whose efforts could not be matched in any way.

I am happy with my results and I urge everyone who is seeking asylum to not miss the opportunity to choose mr. James as his/her lawyer.

The worst lawyer!!! Stay away!!! The only thing he cares about is your money. I wish this review allowed to give 0 star. Because of this useless man, I spent more than 20 years in this country without a social security number. Back then he was working with a Somali girl named Amal, she was the one in charge of his office and the one reading the cases. He goes to court unprepared and he is basically lazy. In the legal system, lawyers and judges know each other. The judge in charge of my case knew James Roberts was a joke. He also asked me if I could work for him even though he knew I did not have a social. A lawyer asking someone illegally in the country to work for him under the table!! Unbelievable! If you care about your life and your legal status in this country, do not employ his service. I would not be surprised if some of his clients have filed or file complaints against him. Any good reviews below are all fake.

Mr C.

Staff is incompetent, doesn't answer emails, return phone calls, or show up to scheduled meetings on time. Staff has high turnover rate due to poor management. James Roberts is disrespectful and clearly doesn't care about client satisfaction. There's several better law firms in the DC area, so if you're smart you will AVOID this mess of a law firm.
