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.

Immigration applications

Mrs. Anita Gurnani is an excellent lawyer! Our family has always relied on her competent service from the time our friends in church introduced us to her law firm more than 5 years ago. The first time our family needed an immigration attorney, it was for our daughter’s marriage based green card appli...cation. Our daughter’s green card application was handled very smoothly and professionally by Mrs. Gurnani. When our daughter applied for her naturalization, she returned to Mrs. Gurnani’s law firm to handle her paperwork. Her citizenship application was handled smoothly and successfully by Mrs. Gurnani, and now, our daughter is a US citizen. When our son needed an immigration attorney, our family went to Mrs. Gurnani to process his application. Finally when it was time for our daughter to file her petitions for me and my husband, our family went to Mrs. Gurnani to assist us in the entire process. Our petitions were handled in a thorough and timely manner. Mrs. Gurnani is responsive to our questions. She is approachable, knowledgeable and very professional. She kept us posted and updated on the developments of our petitions throughout the process, from beginning to end. She ensured that all our papers and supporting documents are adequate and complete. My husband and I received our green cards last month in time for Christmas. It was indeed one of the best Christmas blessings that our family has received, and we are grateful to the law firm of Mrs. Gurnani for being instrumental in keeping our family together in America. Our loyalty to Mrs. Gurnani’s law firm is rewarded by consistent and successful results through the years! She remains our top and only choice!

Excellent Experience!!

After talking to other lawyers, I decided to go with the Gurnani & Gurnani law firm for my marriage based adjustment of status application and am very glad I did. Mrs. Gurnani personally handled my application from start to finish. She is honest, straightforward, knowledgeable and thorough. She wa...s available at all times to answer my questions and to guide me throughout the process. Preparing and filing the paperwork, preparing us for the interview and representing us at our interview was all handled very professionally. Anita Gurnani is a caring, friendly, compassionate attorney who puts her clients’ interests at the top. I also noticed her attention to details and her preciseness. If something is not doable, she says so. Her assistant Mildred is the best, she is very respectful and caring and was always on top of things. It was an absolute pleasure to work with the Gurnani Law Firm. The fees were reasonable given the quality of service provided. I had a very good experience.
