Excellent!!!

I lost my job and my visa was getting expired. I consulted several Attorneys but it was Mrs. Gurnani who made me felt comfortable about my situation. She was not only very professional from the beginning of our communication, but was also very calm and friendly. She was always very thorough, easy to ...reach and always kept me informed about my case. I would like to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a very good attorney.

Years of Experience

I own a variety of businesses that often sponsor candidates for visa, and Mrs. Gurnani has worked with me on the vast majority of cases. It is always a pleasure to deal with her. She always delivers what she promises, and never promises something she cannot deliver. In a world full of good sales...men (and trust lawyers can sell their services to you), it is refreshing to work with someone who is prompt, efficient, and honest.

Very Good Professionals

We've worked with Mr. and Mrs. Gurnani for quite a few years. Initially under my father, Gurnani and Gurnani worked to process my application for Green Card. Few years later, after getting married, my husband and I approached the Gurnani's for application of change of residence status for my husband.... We worked with Mrs. Gurnani during this process and had the most pleasant experience. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and timely through the whole processes. They were very intricate and thorough with the paper-work leaving no room for doubts and were always on top of the schedule providing us updates and also requesting updates from us. My husband successfully obtained his Green Card in less than a year of application. All in all, we had a very good experience with this firm and would highly recommend them to my friends and families in need.

The best lawyer of New Jersey

I would highly recommend this law firm.Anita Gurnani was recommended to us by several friends who had used her services and had been very pleased.We hired Ms. Gurnani about three years ago to handle my immigrant visa application through marriage to my U.S citizen spouse.The paperwork as well as prepa...ring me for my interview at the U.S Consulate was handled very efficiently.Six months ago,we retained Ms. Gurnani again to file the application for removal of my conditional residence. My application was approved without any issues. Throughout the process, we received courteous,professional service from attorney Gurnani and her staff. Ms. Gurnani explained each step of the process to us in advance, gave us realistic time frames and she was always available to answer our questions.

Excellent lawyer!

We filed for an AoS. Anita and her team (Lucia) were professional, knowledgeable and gave specific feedback on what to focus on. We realized this especially during the interview, which was very smooth and we were well prepared due to Anita's work ahead of time. We appreciated her responsiveness throu...ghout the process and definitely recommend her.

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.
