Immigration attorney

Ilham is a great lawyer. 4 years ago, i had a very complicated case, i went to 4 lawyers before Ilham and they said it's very hard to solve. My best friend recommended Ilham. We had a call and she accepted my case, price was very decent. She worked hours and hours on the phone with me to make sure s...he understood the case 100%. And we applied, USCIS is taking too much time nowadays! Then throughout the time, I was very stressed, but she always had the answer. She was very very very patient. She kept on the case with USCIS and kept pushing hard until we got it approved! Thanks Ilham. You are very great immigration lawyer. Definitely would recommend you over and over.

Ilham: My Immigration Hero

I want to express my deep appreciation for the outstanding work that Ilham, my immigration lawyer, has done. She handled my green card case with great care and expertise. Ilham's meticulous attention to detail, extensive knowledge of immigration law, and unwavering commitment to my case were truly im...pressive. Thanks to her, I now hold my green card in my hands, and I owe it all to Ilham's exceptional skills. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of immigration legal services. Ilham, you are a true professional, and I am genuinely grateful for your outstanding work

Great lawyer and person

I recently hired Ms Soffan as my immigration lawyer. I needed her expertise in maintaining my permanent residency that I was at very high risk of losing. I spent years obtaining my greencard. I have 2 daughters in the US one of whom is a young widow with a little daughter to raise. I am in upmost nee...d to maintain my status in the US to be close to my daughters and help raise my grandchild. The thought of losing my greencard was unimaginable. Ms. Soffan was kind enough to take on my case at a relatively short notice. She was extremely knowledgeable with the law. She listened carefully and patiently to the circumstances that prevented me from being in the US for the required period. After intensive research and investigation of my case, she prepared a very detailed and professional packet that I presented to immigration with confidence. Thanks to her hard work, expertise and great advice I was successful in maintaining my greencard. Throughout the process she was very supportive, understanding and compassionate. She took my financial circumstances into consideration and charged me a very little fee. This made me convinced that she is a great human being as well as a competent lawyer. I am eternally grateful to Ms. Soffan and I highly recommend her.

Perfect attorney to hire for challenging cases

I hired attorney Ilham for my nephew's case, which was very complicated and very challenging. The case was primarily for immigration but it also has some criminal matters. Additional complications in this case came from the fact that my nephew was in prison at the time. Attorney Ilham has been very e...nergized, dedicated, and timely throughout the case which took long time with authorities to resolve (due to the pandemic conditions). During the long and complicated case, she has never felt down or tool-less to resolve this case. Ilham worked diligently and endlessly until she helped us releasing my new from prison. She worked on multi-aspects of the case, where all efforts collectively lead for fabulous results. I have used 4 attorneys in this case, and consulted with 4 more, my review for attorney Ilham is based on my experience/compared to 8 attorneys in this case. Attorney Ilham never demand high fees although the case was complicated, and she never care solely about payments, she always pay attention about helping her client and making sure of getting positive results. She did her job in very high standards, and did perform many steps (time and efforts) beyond her primary responsibilities to ensure quality results of her work.
