Professional and Reliable

I got married to a non us citizen and was looking for an attorney to represent me with my immigration petition , after looking around and hearing confident reviews of Mrs. Gurnani from few of my friends I decided to consult her . Upon my initial visit Mrs. Gurnani explained each and every step of t...he process to me and patiently answered all my queries. She also took time to go thru my each and every document. She also went thru free structure, the fee was very reasonable. During the lifespan of my case I visited the firm couple to times and found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Mrs. Gurnani was so helpful and guided me frequently throughout the case till the final step. My wife was able to immigrate without any issues, thanks to Mrs. Gurnani and staff. Count me in as a lifelong client for any immigration matters I have.

EXCELLENT!!

I would highly recommend the Gurnani & Gurnani law firm. I was looking for an immigration attorney to assist me in the filing of a fiance petition on behalf of my fiance in Indonesia and came across Anita Gurnani's profile online. I am very happy I found her. My petition on behalf of my fiance was a...pproved without any issues and my fiance arrived in the U.S. last week and we are both very excited to be together. We are very thankful to Anita Gurnani who provided us with courteous, professional service all throughout the proces. She was extremely patient and always available to answer all of our questions and believe me there were many. She and her staff kept us posted at all stages of the process and followed up with us regularly. Anita is a thorough professional. We will now be using her services for my fiance's (soon to be wife) adjustment of status application. I and my fiance are very grateful to Anita and would like to recommend her to anybody who is seeking legal assistance in any immigration matter. Kristy.M

Best Attorney

Mrs. Gurnani assisted my husband and I with our USCIS application and she was patient, professional and a pleasure to consult with. The process was very smooth and organized. I heard horror stories with other attorneys processing USCIS application , but I had the BEST experience. I am very grateful ...for Mrs. Gurnani.

Excellent Attorney

I contacted Gurnani&Gurnani for my green card application, I received excellent service from Mrs.Gurnani and Mildred. Whenever I had a question or a concern, it was easy to get in touch with both of them. I am now, a few months later, receiving my green card. Great service, very professional, easy t...o get in contact with and Mrs. Gurnani was open to answer any questions!

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.
