    I was desperate to find a good lawyer to help my family from avoiding my brother to get deported. After contacting several lawyers we found no hope, but when I contact my personal lawyer she recommended Mr. Ballout who was kind enough to take over the case the day we contact him. Mr. Ballout made us feel confident and hopeful. He is very easy to get a long with and welcomes you as if you were part of his family. I really felt lost before we contact him, but towards the end we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. My brother was release that same day. We were all happy with Mr. Ballout he is an angel sent from above we would be lost if it wasn't for his help. He truly can bring you security, confident, and peace of mind.

    • I recommend Haitham Ballout.
    • I hired Haitham 1-6 months ago.
    • Haitham handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

    We applied for my visa in the 1st week of November 2012,
    We had our interview in the end of January 2013,
    We received my green card and work authorization card in the 1st week of February.

    For those of you whom don’t have much time to read, all we can tell you is that you will not regret working with Ed! He is very reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. And he is simply a nice man that we enjoyed talking with! We highly recommend working with Haitham Edward Ballout!

    Here comes the long version!
    I am a Japanese woman and my husband is from the US. I was in the US on F1 student visa. I graduated from my grad school in Dec 2010. At this point, my husband and I were talking about getting married in about 1 year after I worked in Japan. Right after I graduated, I went on a vacation to the Caribbean’s with my friend. When I left the country, I automatically lost my F1 status and entered back into the country with ESTA. My intension was to go back to my apartment, pack up everything and move back to Japan just for 1 year. However, my husband proposed to me before I went back to Japan! So, we got married at the end of January, 2011, and I still had to go back to work, so I moved back in February, 2011. This year alone, I went back and forth to see my husband 3, 4 times. Twice, immigration officers at SFO Airport held me for about 2 hours in a separate room, went through everything in my suitcases and asked me all kinds of questions in a rude manner. At the end, I got released and let into the country as I had valid documentation and I had no issue with my status each time.

    The officers told me that even though I am not breaking the law by going in and out of the country often, or staying for 2, 3 months in the US each time with my ESTA, still, they did not like it, and I have to either get my proper visa and live in the US, or my husband getting his Japanese visa and move to Japan, and I cannot keep staying in the US for a long period of time even though it was within 90 days. How strange is that? Also, one officer told me that when I came back into the country after my Caribbean trip, my intention was to get married in the country which was not true, but he just assumed so and that was all it took to give me a hard time at the airport. Therefore, we finally decided to proceed with my visa application process.

    Originally, we were trying to apply for my visa on our own and spend as little as possible.
    My husband and I are very pleased with Haitham Edward Ballout’s work. All his advice was accurate and informative. (It was contrary to what most people I know and most people in the online community suggested. We are so glad that we listened to the right professional!)
    He was sincere and very informative. He answered all our questions in detail. Also, it was convenient for us that we could see him both in his San Francisco and Burlingame Office.
    As far as the consultation fee goes, it was not the cheapest, but we are still glad we worked with him. Ed was open and explained to my husband and I the cost of his services from the very beginning. His fee never changed at all. It was a one flat rate which we appreciated.

    He was there with us for our interview and helped us with the process. Ed working as an immigration lawyer in San Francisco for 23 + years, it seems like he has a good relationship with many of immigration interviewers which has to be helpful!

    We must say that Daisy, one of Ed’s staff was very helpful to us, too. She always corresponded with us via telephone or Email and made sure we had everything right. We enjoyed working with her. At the very end, she mailed us a big envelop of copy of the entire document that we put together and sent to USCIS for the record.

    We thank Haitham Edward Ballout for all his great work and we highly recommend working with him to anyone who is struggling in immigration issues. He is simply the best!

    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Mr. Ballout for his effort in preparation of my appealing for citizenship. My first application for citizenship was rejected because I stayed outside the United States for more than 6 months. Because I need to get citizenship for my family as soon as possible, I decided to file N-336 request for hearing. I went to two other immigration lawyers before I finally decided to work with Mr. Ballout. I felt that he and his staff, Mairead and Daisy are very knowledgeable and talented professionals. He gave excellent advice and we together prepared for the appeal and the interview. I understand this case has only 50-50 chance of winning, but I was amazed to see that we could provide sufficient reasons to overcome the denial. He gave me confidence during my whole interview and pointed out the important winning facts to the immigration officer. Now I am looking forward to the oath ceremony. I was very pleased that I made the right decision to choose Mr. Ballout. I would definitely recommend to everyone who is seeking for a proficient immigration lawyer.

    Haitham really is amazing. He is very professional, friendly and personable, and honestly cares about his clients. His office staff is also very helpful and professional.

    I thought that the process of getting my greencard and my interview would be difficult, even with a lawyer, because I have heard horror stories from some of my friends, but Haitham made everything easy for me and I would have been lost without his expertise, kindness, and guidance. Anytime I called with a question, he is always available to talk to me and give me advice.

    Haithan's expertise is invaluable, and he is so knowledgable I highly recommend him to everyone.

    Thank you Haitham Edward Ballout You Are The Best...

    Mr. Ballout gave me great advice on a complicated case. He took his time to give me the guidance I desperately needed. I saw this man not just as a very competent lawyer but also somebody who truly cares about his clients. His first concern was not the money but the good outcome of my case. God bless him!

    Recently me and my husband had an immigration marriage interview. Mr. Ballout is an excellent lawyer who made us ready for the "big day". On the first meeting we signed a contract with the lawyer because we were impressed with his knowledge and self confidence. Me and my husband had several meetings with Mr. Ballout before the interview; moreover, while waiting for the call at the immigration office our lawyer made us to feel comfortable and relaxed. We really appreciate his support and help. We'll definitely refer Mr. Ballout to everybod who need an immigration service. If you want to feel secure and confident, Mr. Ballout is the best choice.

    I am not satisfied with this lawyer. First of all I went to consultation they charged me more money than their noraml consultation fee. After consultation was over , I emailed to Haitham about some questions. He was rude and responded me back to have another consultation. I went to another attorney and she is doing everything for less money and is more responsive. I am happy I did not hire Haitham. I don,t know how he has such a rating on avvo.

      Lawyer’s Comment:

      Reply by the Attorney Haitham Ballout:

      I regret that you felt this way. We charged you more for consultation because you specifically requested a 90-minute time slot with me, and we specifically informed you about the additional charges more than once prior to the consultation. Our typical consultation time is 30 minutes.

      I cannot possibly accept every case that comes to me, and have to decline cases that are incompatible with the way we run our legal practice.

      I explained to you why we couldn’t accept your case, and I regret that you interpreted this as being rude. I do wish you well however, and sincerely wish that you get the result you are hoping for with another attorney.

    This is the best attorney I have ever hired!!! From the beginning when my case started til the end Mr. Ballout and his crew was in consistent communication with me keeping me updated on everything that has to do with my case. He is totally an expert and give me all the time I needed to make me understand my position on the case. During all these months of persistent work, he has provided me all the time needed without charging me any extra. He's the best! I highly recommend him for any immigration consultation, you won't regret it for the simple reason that he is truly and very, very honest.

    Thank you Daisy too for not leaving me behind and be there when I needed an answer.

EVEN AT THE INTERVIEW HE HAD MY BACK AND SPOKE ON MY BEHALF UNLIKE THE OTHER PREVIOUS LAWYER WHO KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE INTERVIEW. HE DID AN EXCELLENT WORK AND HIS STAFF KEPT ME POSTED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CASE. HE EVEN HELPED MY CASE BY APPROVING MY CASE FROM DEPORTATION TO G.C.......I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

    I was introduced to Mr Ballout 2 weeks before I had to leave the country as my entry permit was expiring. The person who introduced me to him described him as a great professionaI and that I should see him before I follow the instruction from another attorney I had previously hired, the instruction was that I had to leave the country and apply for my residency from abroad.
    I called his office and made an appointment right away. My case was not so simple and Mr Ballout explained to me all the details and how we had to procedure with it.
    It was amazing the good feeling I had about this Lawyer, I felt calm, relaxed and left my life in his hands. He pass you confidence, sense of security as he calmly make you aware of all the details involved in the immigration system.
    My interview with the immigration went so smooth that I couldn't believe my luck. Everything went well and I got my Green Card in less than 2 weeks, without having to leave. I now feel settled and enjoying the stability of home with my family.
    Im so greatful I found this wonderful professional.

    Hi! My name is Javier born and race in Lima, Peru. I live in the States for about 23 years since or about 1987. In October of 2005 I was detained by Immigration (ICE). Immigration costumes enforcement separate me from my family, friend and my job,( Ice) put me in a plane bound to Eloy, Arizona, I thought I never will see my family again. I knew then that I not just need a lawyer but someone with experience and knowledge, someone who’s first priority is to help people. I hired attorney Haitham Ballout and gave him all my trust. He traveled out of the state of California for complete days every time a have a court hearing. He worked diligent in my case and in 4 months he helped me to be freed and I could go back to my home and family and continue my case in my home town close to my family.
    I could not believe that I got not just a second opportunity but a life time opportunity. These are the most difficult decisions I ever have to make in my entire live, not easy to do but worthy of trying to keep the dream alive. My case was very complicated but I did not lose my hope.
    The negative against me were enormous but Attorney Haitham Ballout always calm, we talk about all remedies and solutions. First to get free, while detained in Eloy, we appeal a Bond judge decision with the BIA, we won and that was huge, then we applied for Change of venue, and were granted. That was my chance to bail out and return back to my hometown and be reunited with my wife and children. Haitham became part of my family and feel great gratitude for the exceptional work that he have done for me.
    A mayor challenge that I have to overcome was my alien relative petition that was approved thank for it I can see light at the end of the tunnel and I have to be free for all, After three times at Board of immigration and even once to the 9Th Circuit to appeal a judge decision, I keep my hopes alive. All motions were file in a timely manner. My application for waiver of grounds of inadmissibility approved and my application for cancellation of removal and adjustment of status for certain nonpermanent resident approved. Sure was better sweet the big decisions of many challenges and achievement that I have to face and overcome. Thank you Attorney Haitham Ballout, I can work legally in the United States and live the American Dream . Free at last. JG.

    My only regret is that we did not meet Mr. Ballout sooner. Mr. Ballout patiently took the time to assess our case and made us feel like we were in a safe place. He is obviously an expert in his field. More importantly, Mr. Ballout was very honest, forthright, and sincere. We've been victims of predator lawyers in the past and it is refreshing to meet a lawyer like Mr. Ballout. I would highly recommend him to anyone with immigration problems, or even just questions. Mr. Ballout, you're on my permanent contact list

    • I hired Haitham 1-3 years ago.
    • Haitham handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    The process of attaining a green card is known to be difficult and frustrating, but with Haitham's help it was a pleasure. I would recommend him highly to anyone in my position. Within about 2 months, from start to finish, my swedish wife had her green card in hand. It really pays to have someone who knows how to navigate the system.

    I had a student visa for about 8 years, and after I was done with my studies I wanted to become a permanent resident. I had spoken with several attorneys before I met Mr. Ballout and decided to retain him. He is knowledgeable, experienced, straightforward and very friendly. I was prepared for the process to take about 6 months, but from filing to green card in hand it only took 2 months. I was impressed with Mr. Ballout, his staff and their professionalism.

    Everyone knows that the naturalization process is the final step on the way of becoming a United States Citizen. And while it may seem that it is a simple process, often it is not. It requires good expertise, knowledge, and experience. Mr. Ballout has it all what it takes to help you with immigration process. He is honest and straightforward, and his fees are very reasonable, comparing to other lawyers with 20+ years of experience in immigration field. I have met and spoke to several other lawyers, but wasnt sure who to work with until I met Mr. Ballout and his staff. Starting from the first meeting he gave me confidence about his knowledge/experience of immigration laws, and pointed out important things about the naturalization process. He is very respectful and friendly, and always stays on the top of everything. Mr. Ballout and his assistance Jennie are always in contact with you to keep you updated on your case, and always there when you have a question or concern. If you are in need OR you think you might need an immigration lawyer, or just need a consultation, look no further, Mr. Ballout is the man!

    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I live in Walnut Creek and I was referred to Mr. Ballout from a friend to help me with my wife's i601 waiver application. I made an appointment, drove to Burlingame, and hired him immediately after meeting with him for just 15 minutes. Not only was the initial consultation very relaxed and honest but the options that he offered were better than ones I heard from other attorneys. I was correct with my intuition. His firm got the 601 approved in less than 2 months. They are straight down the line, don't make promises they can't deliver on, and don't compromise on their standards when it comes to applications. Also, Mr Ballout will tell you upfront whether or not he can do your case unlike many other attorneys. I would thoroughly recommend his law office.

    My wife and I were in a situation that seem to have no way out, thank God that Mr. Haitham Ballout was able to help us. My wife received a deportation notice, honestly I was scared of losing my wife. We tried everything, Mr Haitham Ballout was able to provide everything necessary in order for us to have victory. After a long, hard fought battle we received a letter from immigration that simply stated that my wife had been granted residency. As I stood there, holding that letter, words could not spew out and time had stopped all at once. "Land of opportunity" indeed. I am forever grateful to the work and expertise that Mr. Ballout displayed throughout this grueling process. I am truly in awe and can honestly say that for us being satisfied with Mr. ballout's work would be an understatement.

The petition was approved in a record time of 6 weeks and I can only say that Mr.Ballout contributed greatly to this success. I highly recommend Mr. Ballout law firm for this kind of legal work.

He tackled down all the details in preparation of my interview, so my interview turned out to be a smooth and painless process; I got what I need two weeks after the interview. I would highly recommend him simply because he really CARES about his clients!

    Mr.Ballout changed our whole lives and my whole family. My mom was only a resident when we met Mr.Ballout. We had actually given up on making my mom a citizen and my sister and I becoming legal. The thought was not even an option anymore until we met him. He actually gave us hope unlike other lawyers, he took the time to listen to our case and he was very human. My sister was about to turn 21 on March 2, and my mom had to be citizen before that. He started all the paper work right away, he was also very honest and told us that there was a percentage of deportation, but he was all encouraging at all times. My mom took the test with him, and when they told her she was accepted my mom started crying and Mr.Ballout eyes got watery. We were so happy, but yet not fully done. The swearing ceremony had to before my sister’s birthday and my mom's swearing date was March 10th, eight days after my sister’s birthday. Although we were happy we were sad at the same time. We told Mr.Ballout and he send an e-mail and within 2 days after, my mom was swearing February 18, 2010. She became an official citizen, and we could have not ever done it with out his help. He is a great man from head to toe. I recommend him 110% he will do whatever is in his power to help and does his job like no other.

It was a super pleasant experience. We are sure all those who seek his help, will be rewarded.

    My husband and I went for a consultation at Mr. Ballout office and at the end of the meeting both of us were pleased to meet such a reliable and understanding lawyer.
    We met up with him just to ask for a legal advice concerning my Green Card application and I appreciated very much his feedback (in the last few weeks I had made a personal research about the immigration procedures and applications and Mr. Ballout seem to know everything is to know about it) and that he honestly told us that he sees no red flags in our case and therefore he didn't try to make things look different than they are just to promote his legal services.
    He was very opened and answered to all my questions and I had many...:)
    The price of the interview was very attractive and I personally believe that no one would regret if they choose Mr. Ballout as their legal representative, since he's been working in this domain for over 15 years and has a lot of good insights and thus won cases.

    My wife and I were referred to Attorney Ballout by a friend. Haitham was fantastic to work with. He and his office made sure all our paperwork was in order, all the proper forms were fill out, and all our "fears" were addressed. He made the green card process for my wife seem effortless. When it came time for our final interview the entire process only took a few minutes because we had every form in order. I highly recommend Haitham and would hire him again for future services as necessary.

    We contacted Attorney Ballout for an adjustment of status petition.

    We had done a good deal of research on our own, but we felt like too many questions remained. So, we decided to use the services of Attorney Ballout. Attorney Ballout has proved very knowledgeable about every aspect of our application. In particular, he offered advice that we would not have found online or in books because we did not even know to look for it.
    Before mailing the application, Attorney Ballout took the time to personally review the documents and kept in touch with us after his working hours to make sure the application was complete. We were also impressed with how experienced he was with the interview process and the application delays.

    But, what seems to stand out the most in our dealings with Attorney Ballout is the patience he showed in listening to us. He seemed to always genuinely care in the outcome of our application.

    All in all, we cannot imagine applying for adjustment of status without the help of a qualified attorney. Applications with the USCIS can be scary, and Attorney Ballout offers the knowledge and care to make them successful.

    I have known Haitham for over 10 years, and he has consistently delivered. Haitham is extremely professional and diligent. It is a pleasure working with him and his team. I highly recommend Haitham for immigration services. In selecting an attorney, a client typically has to ponder on two items: 1) Are the fees reasonable, and 2) Will the attorney successfully achieve the desired outcome? In Haitham’s case, the client only has to worry about scheduling the celebration of the desired outcome.

    After being in Immigration Court for eight years, fighting deportation order against me and pursue in getting my green card. I have hired three different lawyers who claim that they are the best in the business. They charged me alot of money, and got me know where. I met with at least ten lawyers (if not more) for counseling and they all had no answer for me. My co-workers recommended the law office of Haitham Ballout. At the beginning I was very hesitant to spend more of my hard earned money to receive the same negative response. But I decided to give it one more chance. I flew from Los Angeles to San Francisco to speak with Mr. Ballout. He showed alot of confidence and knowledge in regards to my situation. I hired him and it was the best decision I ever made. Mr. Ballout reversed the deportation order against me and right now I am in the process of getting my own green card. This experience has given me and my family a peace of mind. I highly recommend Mr. Ballout for those who are in need of resolving immigration issues. Mr. Ballout and his staff were all very helpful and respectful to answer all of my questions even if I asked the same questions a number of times. They were extremely patient and kind.

Not only Haitham removed all the road blocks, he expeditiously got our case processed by the INS and my wife obtained her green card and eventually her naturalization.

    • I recommend Haitham Ballout.
    • I hired Haitham more than 3 years ago.
    • Haitham handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

    Haitham saw my wife and I through a complicated green card application. He was very approachable and forthcoming with all the information we needed to feel confident and prepared. And we passed the interview in a matter of minutes even though the file on us was 3 inches thick! He knows the system and the staff at INS very well.

    • Haitham handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I usually don't give 5 stars, but in this case it was 5 stars. My wife's and my naturalization were handled perfectly. Every step in the process. Haitham showed us how valuable it can be to have your lawyer present at the Homeland Security interview. His quick reaction avoided several months of delay, no question about it! If Haithan had not provided a statement to sign on the spot, we would have had to write it later, notarize it, mail it and wait for it to be approved. This would have delayed the process for months before a final decision.

    I worked with Haitham Ballout on getting my citizenship and he made the process very easy and kept me informed of the status of my application throughout the process. They even helped me speed up the process when they found out my green card was nearing expiration. Since my naturalization, I worked with Haitham on a real estate case as well. He's also taken on my parents as clients for their US naturalization and they were happy too.

    • I hired Haitham more than 3 years ago.
    • Haitham handled my Immigration matter.
    • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

    I highly recommend Haitham. I am a paralegal with 20 years experience and felt confident that I could handle my daughter-in -law's immigration work by myself. However, on the recommendation of a friend who used Haitham, I decided to talk with him. Based on our interview, I decided to hire him. It was a wise decision and money well spent. We avoided a couple of potential pitfalls that I am not sure I would have caught or avoided on my own. Haitham was very responsive to questions and instilled a sense of confidence and freedom from stress and worry, making the process painless. The results were great, as hoped, so bottom line-- it was well worth his fee. I highly recommend Haitham for imigration work, and if he knows his other fields as well, I would recommend him in general.

    Mr. Haitham Edward Ballout has been a god sent for me. I was told by another Immigration Attorney that I was never going to become a US Citizenship because an early Honorable Discharge from the US Navy. but he was forthcoming and told not worry. Low and behold in les than 2 years I was a proud US Citizen. Mr. Haitham Edward Ballout knows the Immigration laws inside out and keeps pace with all the new changes abd how to apply them. his mastership of the convoluted Immigration constant changes are what makes him the best choice for an attorney who is going to bat for you and get you results. in fact I never meet him all was done over the phone, fax and mail. I could never thank him enouth for his dedicated office staff who worked with me and his personalized customer service together with his proffesionalism and honesty, not only that but his honoraries were the most affordable in the San Fco. bay area. I will strongly recomend him to anyone in need of any INS dealings (home land Secur)
