clear every step of the way!

Mr. Dehghani is very good immigration lawyer that helped me and my husband a lot. We were kept informed of the progress of our case through the system. He is patient and paying attention to detail. His assistant is also very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We couldn’t ask for a smoother expe...rience with his professional advice. He was extremely helpful, very responsive, and was clear every step of the way.

EXCELLENT LAWYER

Very Thankful for Lawyer Dehghani, before him I had try with three different Lawyers with my immigration status and none of them couldn't help me. I was about to be deported and Lawyer Dehghani was so helpful and thanks for his service and help I have a resident card. So grateful and I'm very pleased... with his consultations.

Incredible Work. Complete professionalism, determination, fortitude and dedication to his clients!

It is impossible to summarize the incredible experience we had with Attorney Kevin Dehghani. His professionalism, determination, fortitude and dedication to his clients, we encountered almost daily, for a full year. We originally sought his counsel in 2012 after being misled by an Immigration attorn...ey in NYC for over 2 years. Atty. Dehghani faced his first challenge with us in obtaining documents from the previous lawyer. Then, what should have been a straight-forward Immigration case, based on Federal Court ruling (Dist. 2, Oct. 2012) of DOMA as Un-Constitutional, turned into one Atty. Dehghani, nor anyone, could have anticipated. The benefits entitled to any foreign sponsored spouse, were legally available prior to the Supreme Court Ruling in June. We are a male couple; American and British and were married November 11, 2011 in Newtown, Connecticut (July 2012 our marriage license was recognized by the UK Govt.). Despite U.S. Federal laws in place when we applied, our spousal petition was summarily denied by USCIS, twice. Atty. Dehghani faced unprecedented legal obstacles, with new laws in an area that few attorneys had ever encountered. He did not hesitate to move quickly and challenge USCIS on what laws they had not followed. He has an unbelievable knowledge of the law and a determination to see all are adhered to for all his clients. In June 2012, when the Supreme Court upheld the earlier ruling, our immigration application was still improperly handled by USCIS. Atty. Dehghani was always, professional, persistent, and showed a determination to be sure the new laws were going to be followed, and USCIS, who had not followed them before, were not going to be allowed to wait on addressing our case. Atty. Dehghani dealt with a full year of unprecedented legal set-backs and challenges, all due to unjust and incompetent oversight of federal law by the USCIS , the Dept. of Justice, and Homeland Security. Atty. Dehghani went above and beyond, battling an immigration system that is broken, a new legal precedent that had not be dealt with by other attorneys, and throughout it all, remained on top of every aspect that we could never properly sum up in a “review”. His compassion for the rights of individuals was evident the first day we met him. His work ethic was proven when he obtained the first same-sex sponsored green-card for a Connecticut couple. If you have any doubts about whether to obtain his counsel, we guarantee, you should have none!

"It is a privilege to endorse Atty. Dehghani, who has just won a significant victory at the 2d. Circuit for his client, who had been denied a 3-year continuance to allow the petition filed by the client's mother to become current so he could get a green card. Although not precedential, the decision will often be cited and is a lesson to judges around the country."
