我发本文的目的，是讲述我被某老中律师以敲诈罪威胁的故事，目的主要在于寻求帮助
和对策，当然我将会寻求自己上班的公司律师或外面专长于民事纠纷的律师的法律建议
。另外，这是为了给版上的所有同学一个反面教材：版上的律师软文不可信。他们的责
任感和专业值得大家质疑，特别在你要打算签约，希望你反复考察再签约。其实，以前
也有不少人总结同样的经验，我以前见过这样的帖子。如果你已经签约，祝你绿卡申请
好运！
现在暂时不公布老中律师的名字。如果你签约了，想证实你的律师是不是我说的老中律
师，站内联系。这个版上有人说某些律师很好，也有不少人说某些律师是无良。
===========================
真实故事，以下按照实际顺序阐述。
今年8月上旬签约洛杉矶某老中律师，我先付$2500,如果140拿到批准，我需要再付$
2000。（现在通过比较其他律师，有不少律师在这$4500里负责写推荐信和petition
