If you have a contract and the immigration consultant is in violation of it, you would appear to have remedies. If the consultant is an attorney, you can go to the state bar disciplinary committee and lodge a complaint. If not an attorney, you can go to the Better Business Bureau, or consumer affairs, and some states or locales even provide a complaint process with the District Attorney's Office.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
