Amazing experience

Mrs Anita Gurnani made the entire process hassle free and quick. She was always willing to hear us out and answer all our questions. She has immense knowledge on the entire process and together with her team, they guided us through every step. All in all, she made the process of filing the paperwork... very easy. For people like us who like to be prepared , she was always on the same page. They are extremely professional, timely and very accurate. I would recommend Gurnani and Gurnani to anyone who has any immigration needs! They are the best out there.

Fixed the USCIS' mistake

Mrs Gurnani has done it again. After my fiancee and I married here using the K1 Visa, we asked for Mrs. Gurnani help for the adjustment of status of application. She made sure the paperwork was correct, that we had all the necessary supporting evidence, and we created a realistic timeline of what to ...expect. This was all done together. Her communication skills are immaculate. Even though Mrs Gurnani did everything correctly, we got an irroneous denial from the USCIS. Mrs Gurnani went out of her way and contacted the office that denied us and was able to get them to fix their own mistake within 3 weeks. My husband got his greencard and she saved us from having to file a morion of appeal due to their own paperwork error. She is so commited and knows what shes doing.

Best Immigration attroney I ever worked with

This is not the first time I went to Mrs. Anita Guarani she is by far the best attorney I ever worked with she helped me to file for my mother's green card which arrived in 4.5 months no RFE or problems or anything like that. Same things happen in my case in 2008 I was given green without any intervi...ew her work is solid and flawless. And trust me my case was very complicated.

Pleasant Experience

I had processed my Citizenship process with Gurnai & Gurnai offices; and been fortunate to have met Anita Gurnani whom I found her to be not only a thorough professional, but also one who has provided a valuable advise within the framework of the immigration laws. Finally I've got my petition approv...ed within 3 months without any hassles as against what I anticipated some challenges due to complex nature of my status situation etc.. I strongly recommend their services on immigration.

Excellant work Gurnani.

Awesome work, I filed for my wife immigration(Green Card) she was in Morocco but not a single query or issue it went so smooth and without any problem my wife got the immigration. I will recommend Gurnani for all the work she do. Very professional and prompt and reasonable. If anybody want to get th...e Immigration work done she will be my #1 choice. Thanks Gurnani.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
