Internally, the firm follows up with their clients through using a database that holds customer information and is updated with any activity, discussion, and status for each client. An attorney and paralegal are assigned to each case and enter information and follow up with each client. The company is current working on internal procedures to make sure that everyone is cross trained to provide good customer service. For example, customer service employees are working to be cross trained on how to handle front desk traffic flow, etc.

Spar and Bernstein discovered that clients expect to finish cases sooner than the time it is taking. This is to be expected. The company realizes that the client needs to have a better understanding of how the process works to resolve this issue. An example of when a client was not satisfied when working with the firm was when a client wanted to know about the status of a case. The client claimed that he called several times but did not leave messages. A customer service manager reached out to this client directly to address the issue and included an attorney and paralegal in the conversation. This resulted in the client calling back the next day thanking the firm for handling the matter in a timely fashion.

Since the company has received a complaint on Ripoff Report, they state that they have worked every day to provide better services. Even one complaint is too many said one company executive They have hired more people to handle the traffic flow and doubled their staff in the customer service department. Furthermore, the company has training with recorded phone calls and reviewing quality control.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

=====================

SPAR & BERNSTEIN PC  Incompetent, Unethical, Malpractice, Overcharging, Fraudulent Billing, Stupid People, Abusive New York, New York

As a former ex-employee at this disgusting immigration law firm, I must say on the record that some of these dishonest and incompetent Immigration Lawyers, headed by the notoriously ugly and bald Brad Bernstein, have been investigated, arrested, convicted, and jailed for running a corrupt and fraudulent criminal enterprise. They succeed only in stealing their clients money without ever giving an invoice, even when you ask politely and nicely. Spar & Bernstein PC also keeps breaking federal law, committing legal malpractice, and ethics violations, by filing for Greencard Applications when their clients either have no status, an already existing Deportation Order already in effect, or when they have a criminal conviction.

Of course these legal malpractice and ethics violations committed by Spar & Bernstein PC, always leads to their hard working immigrant clients either getting immediately arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") with no hopes for bail of any kind, and almost always a guaranteed deportation as a result, even if they have family and years of living here in the USA. Spar & Bernstein PC also files hundreds of fake Political Asylum cases each year with the same exact story for all of their hapless and clueless Immigration clients who dont speak proper English. Pretty much all their clients end up getting arrested or deported for having the same fraudulent horseshit political asylum and refugee story, completely made up, fabricated, and falsified by one of their stupid law clerks, as no real Attorneys ever will work on your case.

For every single one of you victims, who unfortunately have hired Spar & Bernstein PC as their Immigration Attorneys, you should immediately ask for a detailed billing invoice to actually SEE how they are using your hard earned money that they steal from you (they always make an excuse for not giving it to you). Then immediately file a Fee Dispute and an Ethics Complaint against them if they screwed your case. To file a Fee Dispute to get your money back from them write to NYCLA Fee Dispute Committee at 14 Vesey Street, New York, New York 10004 and to file an Ethics Complaint write to Departmental Disciplinary Committee First Department, 61 Broadway, New York, New York 10006. File your Fee Dispute and Ethics Complaint against these Con-Artists "Immigration Lawyers" today to put these criminals out of business forever.
