Attorney Dawkins Jr. , is a excellent lawyer. He worked diligently to assure that my legal needs were met and he kept me apprised throughout the process. He also got the results that we discussed. Thank you Attorney Dawkins Jr.
We are so glad to have hired Atty Dawkins. We took his services for the I485/I130/I765 for me and my son. He is patient, understanding, and very kind. He knows his craft very well. He is straight to the point if he will take your case or not. He guided us along the way even if our case took longer because we have to raise the money to pay for all fees and medicals plus all kinds of delays due to Covid. So, we got our green cards in 1st week of December 2021 (an advance Christmas gift to us!) And overall, we are grateful we hired him.
First I would like to explain the status of the new enforcement of ICE and Homeland Security regarding immigration has gotten out of control. My husband went on a vacation with me and my daughter to Cancun, whereupon our return he was questioned and detained at Newark International Airport for two cleared misdemeanor charges 11 to 12 years ago. He never had an issue traveling before, nor did he have any issues renewing his green card. In desperation, I retained another attorney who was in no way professional, but just after money and had no true intentions to help his cause and took my money and did not help my husband. As luck would have it, this attorney couldn't appear for his hearing two days prior in which I was notified and left me without any hope. I reached out to Mr. Dawkins who not only appeared for the hearing with two days advance notice but also prepared us for the process and outcome. He was thorough and concise about what to expect and was hopeful to the end of the case. Unfortunately, the case ended up a little more complex than we thought it would be. Sadly, his final Individual Court date was suddenly changed for an earlier date in which Homeland Security was moving to deport my husband. Mr. Dawkins fought and clarified all charges which resulted in my husband's Cancellation of Deportation relief and reinstatement of his green card. We are also going to use Mr. Dawkins to proceed with his citizenship. We cannot thank him enough for all that he did for this case and restoring my family back the day before Thanksgiving! He was a true blessing to our prayers, life, and case. On behalf of my husband and my entire family we just want to say another heartfelt thank you again, as words cannot describe our happiness!
Mr. Dawkins is a lawyer of truth and detail. I hired Mr. Dawkins for my husband immigration case and he represented my husband to the fullest. He is honest, truthful, detailed and direct. Mr. Dawkins gave me hope that my husband would be able to stay in the united states and the removal of deportation could be cancelled. He gave me hope when all the other attorney's I call gave me no feeling of confidence. I knew that it was a strong chance of my husband being deported. But Mr. Dawkins gave me the facts and details of my husbands case and what would and could possibly happen. In the end Mr. Dawkins represented my husband and presented his case and won the case with all charges dropped and dismissed. my husband is a free man and has applied for his citizenship. Mr. Dawkins was well worth the hire.
I came to Mr. Dawkins with a criminal case that was going to gravely affect my immigration status if I got convicted. The evidence was stacked against me. When all seemed lost, he requested evidence from the case and gave me advice on how to best approach my immigration status. On the court date he consulted with the prosecutor and to my astonishment, he helped get my case dismissed and ultimately helped secure my stay in the country. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you need an honest, experienced lawyer that specializes in both criminal and immigration cases, then don't hesitate to give him a call. To Mr. Dawkins, thank you for your help and advice.
My case was complicated, but i was fortunate to have Charles on my side, outcome was positive and as desired. Of course he is very talented. Thank you Charles.
My naturalization case was not a simple one. It was a complicated case that needed an experienced lawyer who is faithful to both his/her client and U.S. immigration laws. Before settling on Lawyer Dawkins Jr., I had spoken with other lawyers who recommended a strategy that meant lying on the N400 application form. I understood the wisdom in the strategy they recommended; however, I wasn't comfortable with it. I kept searching the internet for a lawyer. I saw Mr. Dawkins' profile and I was intrigued by the fact that he appeared knowledgeable in both criminal and immigration laws. I called him to discuss my needs. Indeed, his honesty, comprehensive knowledge of the law and passion to help others made me comfortable to ask him to represent me. Above all, his charges were very reasonable. He charged me a fraction of what other lawyers who recommended a simple fix strategy quoted. The most remarkable thing is that he told me there is nothing like simple fix strategy for my case. His recommendation was tell the whole truth because that is the ONLY way to get through the process and be at peace with yourself forever. To quote him "Tell the truth on the N400 application form". We did exactly that. Mr Dawkins went with me for the naturalization interview. We spent approximately three times what an average applicant spends interviewing. He endured the long wait calmly without asking for extra pay. Unfortunately, my case was not approved at the interview. They requested for additional documentations and I was given a month to provide them. He worked with me to put all these required documents together. In sum, my case got approved upon receipt of the documents. Prior to approval, I met with Mr. Dawkins a couple of times to talk further about my case and to prepare for an appeal should the USCIS decide to issue denial notice. In each of my meetings with him, he had time to explain clearly the process of the appeal, all at no extra cost. He timely returned all my calls. In sum, I am so happy to have had him to represent me. Thank you very much, Mr. Dawkins Jr., for standing by me through this process and ensuring that I did the right thing each step of the way. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs his services.
My husband was picked up by ICE on a warrant for his arrest due to not showing up to a court date at which point he was deported in absentia. I was left with no money since my husband had been our only financial support. I looked around for lawyers. At first they were all hesitant about the case and also for asking for way too much money just to go and see him. I looked in the internet and i truly believe GOD led my finger to click on CHARLES’ website. From the moment we spoke he made me feel like we would be on the this unfortunate ride together. He charged me less than the others were asking for, and not even knowing or havent seen him ever, i trusted him and forwarded the money to him. The next day i got a phone call from the detention center, it was my husband thanking me for sending charles to go and speak to him.. That same night i got a second call, it was charles offering me different approches we could take to first get my husband and second set up strategy to legalize his status in this country. He was once again considerate about money issues, he offered me a good price. Once again i fully trusted him. He filed a STAY OF DEPORTATION, and as we had hoped and prayed my husband was the only one released out of all the detainees. Everyone else was either deported or kept there for longer time. Not only that, but Charles was also able to get him a work authorization card under order of supervision. My husband’s immigration status still in progress and due to location i had to go with another lawyer, which im in the middle of money dispute with her. And eventhough hes no longer working with us, i recently called him to ask him for advice with the problems im experiencing with the other attorney, and this man took his time not just to give me free legal advice but went out of his way to take a look at my husbands case deeper and gave me ideas on different routes to take moving forward. He told me what questions to ask, so i wouldnt be in the dark anymore regarding this issue. All i can say about Charles is he completes the job, he is very fair with price, and no matter what question you have he’ll be there to answer it and hell explain it in a way that you would understand. At the moment im trying to get my case back into his hands, a place i shouldve never left.
Esq. Charles Dawkins is a professional, hardworking attorney that will fight for your rights. He is there to help, guide, and defend you every step of the way. He is one of the best attorneys when dealing criminal cases. I had a complicated case in which a person made an accusation against me. However, I didn’t let the frustration get the best of me. I immediately went online and did my search. Mr. Dawkins reviews caught my attention and I gave him a call. I explained my situation to him and he understood what I was going through. In my case, the prosecutor wanted to try me as an adult. However, the “alleged crime” was committed when I was a minor. Mr. Dawkins did everything in his power to have this matter tried as a juvenile matter and he succeeded. I am very grateful for his services, his support, and his understanding. If you want an attorney that will understand you, help you, and fight for your rights, I highly recommend the services of Esq. Charles Dawkins.
