Difficult case handled with great professionalism.

Mr. Steve Vosbikian was handed over by me a very clustered and somewhat difficult US visa immigration case. The "cases" included 3 Syrian Armenian refuge Families currently residing in Lebanon due to the civil unrest in their native country Syria. Before Mr. Vosbikian, another lawyer that was not ver...y professional to say the least was handling all three cases. The cases became clustered, confusing, very difficult and elongated. After hearing about Mr.Vosbikian's genuine affection, compassion, and interest for Syrian Armenian refuges, i made the wise decision to put the future of my families in his hands. Mr.Vosbikian knew from the beginning he was handed over a very difficult case but assured us he would do everything and would not rest until my family was safe in the states. He was a man of his word. I cannot stress how much time, effort, energy and energy Mr.Vosbikian put in this case. He would call me every time i would receive an email from the government, just to read it with me. It was a very reassuring feeling he provided for the duration of the visa immigration process. Always on stand by and never made me feel guilty for taking his time. When the process would come to a halt due to confusion on the government’s part, he would reassure us that he would not rest till it was resolved. Finally the visa immigration process was completed and the interview dates were assigned for all three families. The interview was to be scheduled in Amman, Jordan but on all different dates (months apart). Mr. Vosbikian argued and fought to have all three families be interviewed on the same day! He made the process and interview in Amman so much more convenient then it was originally. Needless to say I owe a great thanks to Steven and appreciate his hard work, compassion and relentlessness he showed my family and me.

He was the lawyer of my daughter who had filed for citizenship and denied one time in other state due to some defects in the documents .Then we filed through steve .He was very very responsible ,caring an...d we got his legal advice and my daughter had another interview and in a short time just within 4 months ,she got her interview and she successfully completed all requirements which Mr Vosbikian asked us to provide and she became a US Citizen which was the best day of our life .Then my daughter filed for me (as her mother) to be able to get green card .Tthis time again ,I preferred to choose Mr Steven Vosbikian to present me to UCIS from the begining ,to do everything right and with no mistakes .Because even small mistakes in any portion may cause a lot of delay in your case .I submitted all the documents needed through steven ,properly and with enough evidences . I got my green card very soon just in 9 months after filing .all the time he was very responsible ,very caring and calm and professional .I got my work permit and driving license and travel document very soon just within a few weeks after Steven filed for me .whenever i had a question he had great passion to answer all my questions and fallowing my case and updating me with emails ,telephone calls ,messages and any time of day or night if i had a question he was very responsible to solve all my problems.I had met so many lawyers before but none of them were like Steve .He was always positive responsible and i always felt there is someone who knows what i am ,what do i want and cares about me .someone who knows me and believes in me .he is young but very experienced and professional like his father Mr Vosbikian senior. he is very nice ,welcoming and trustful and accountable . it is hard to introduce yourself to UCIS ,because we come from other countries and we need those who are really expert and professional to present us ,help us ,introduce us ,and save us .US Is my dream land .I love My new country and i am honored to be a US permanent resident .I owe all of my happiness to Mr Steven Vosbikian ,junior who supported me and my daughter in our cases ..He is great lawyer ,awesome human being ,with very warm personality and nice ,gentle character .He is the best in his profession ,Honest and dependable.

DV Hearing

Simply Put, Steve is just AWESOME! He's an amazing person and knows exactly what is and is not needed to win the case. I spoke with 4 other lawyers before speaking with Steve, and he was able to understand the case, listen to everything I had to say, analyze and come up with a strategy, and provid...e comforting advice to help me stay strong until the trial. He was available via phone call, text messaging, or email and the responses were almost immediate. He showed up to court 30 minutes before I even did and stayed with me throughout the entire day (almost 9 to 10 hours)! He bought a lot more to the court room than merely facts and evidence to justify my innocence. At the end, we won the case, and it was great to see that he was as excited and proud as I was. He not only treated me as a client, but also as a friend, and provided a very welcoming atmosphere. All in all, I would highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants a lawyer that will fight and stand by his/her side to make sure he/she gets the best representation in the court room!

Life saver! His made it possible for a 2nd chance in my life!

My case has taken 4 years... It's been a long journey. Since 2010 to date... Attorney Steven has given me a second chance in my life!! I remember feeling frustrated and confused with no where to turn. I was in an abbusive marriage and at a dead end. I had a lawyer then that filed for a vawa cas...e on my behalf but they were more interested in money than in solving the case itself. I came across his law firm and spoke to him about my situation and he was soo attentive compassionate and very informative. He took my case and since then he never took quit. Not only did he fight for my green card, but he really took time and effort even on weekends to meet me to discuss the case. He is the kind of lawyer that actually cares about his clients, he didn't just look at my case as paperwork. He understands and goes out of his way to help... On this day I am speechless!! I never knew that I would ever.. Not ever see the day that I get my green card! I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me and all my family! He took my case through all the trials, even though there were certain cases that were outside immigration but connected to my vawa case he came with me to all court proceedings and represented me throughout! Throughout the years I had peace of mind knowing that my petition was in the right hands. I was able to see my family for the first time in 6 years!! I mean.. He has SAVED my life! Attorney Steven is the best out there! Him and his father are warm and caring individuals that carry themselves with integrity and respect. You will never, not ever go wrong once you hire them. I am in tears just thinking about all the support I received, he connected me to the right shelters where I received a lot of help.. My was difficult, we had to go to criminal court, and then I had a case where I had home residency restrictions from my country and he fought for that too and won! There is nothing that he cannot do..! Seriously he cares about his clients and their cases like his life depends on it.. I could see that he has passion in what he does..and in it he is helping a lot of people; this is more than a bussiness to him. I can't thank him enough... I highly highly recommend him!

The person who saved my life.

Here how and why my Asylum case came to success with Steven Sahag Vosbikian, I arrived from Syria alone leaving my future and my family back there seeking for a better and safer place to start building my own future. My non-lawyer cousins helped me find someone to fix my papers and apply for asylum i...n USA . This non-lawyer told me not to spend one penny on a lawyer and NOT to take a lawyer to my interview. She made up my story and created lies in my statement. This created more problems for me! My problem then became not only proving my asylum, but explaining these lies someone else wrote! I then started searching for a lawyer. The circle of running from one lawyer office to the other started, some of them accepting my case others rejecting it by saying “we don’t accept cases that has been already submitted”. And the lawyers that were accepting my case were not giving me hopes and the only thing that they were concerning about is the MONEY, without giving even a small attention to my case, to the bad situation that I was in. One day I was really depressed at the Church, praying for God to guide me to the right Lawyer to help me to win my case. The priest asked me what was going on, and he gave me the Name of Steven Vosbikian, I called Steven and told him my story, it was the FIRST lawyer that was giving me a time to speak on phone to give him a brief of my story without asking me the consultation money, I felt he was really caring about my case he was a good listener. I took an appointment to meet him in his office I went there and we set from 5pm to 9pm, discussing about my case, without telling me that I have to leave soon because he has another client, he gave me hopes and he told me that he will be next to me no matter what, and hopefully we will win the case, he gained me my self-confident back. My case was on hold for months – Steve visitied the asylum office and got my interviewed scheduled immediately. He opened his office even on Sundays for me, just to get full prepared for the interview and he spent hours answering me about my concerns, he was more than a honest lawyer, Steven Sahag Vosbikian is my BROTHER, and the big day came the day of the interview he was there next to me and came to the interview with me. He spent hours getting all of the details of my story and creating a professional affidavit. He also fixed the issue of the non-lawyer who wrote lies about my story and overcame this! We met tough officer but we were so ready and prepared for the interview and we made it. The officer raised issues she believed made me ineligible for asylum, but Steve argued otherwise – and he was correct! We wined the case - I could not have done it without Steve. I am thankful to the person that supported me, guided me and saved my life, No words can describe what type of honest lawyer is Steven Vosbikian. I would definitely advise every person that need immigration lawyer to visit the office and meet Steven Sahag Vosbikian. Your case is in safe hands with Steven Sahag Vosbikian.
