Excellent attorney!

I truly respect Mrs. Anita Gurnani: she has helped me make my dreams come true. I appreciate all the help that she has given my family and me. She is upfront and honest. She is responsible and a thorough professional. She has held my hand and walked me through every step of the process. I was reuni...ted with my wife through the help of Mrs. Gurnani. Thank you very much! Mrs. Gurnani is now helping our family reunite with my stepsons. Throughout the process, Mrs. Gurnani has shown concern and sincerity in helping us. She understands our plight as a family that it is our wish to be together in America. I have always been able to reach Mrs. Gurnani by phone or in person whenever I have a question. She patiently answers my questions and makes me understand the immigration process. Our family’s immigration journey is being handled very well by Mrs. Gurnani and for this I am very grateful. I can say that, from Day One of our immigration journey, we are in very good hands. I wish Mrs. Gurnani more success. I tell all my friends to go to Mrs. Gurnani when they have questions and problems on immigration. She is a very good lawyer. The law firm of Gurnani and Gurnani and their staff members are the best.

Excellent Immigration Attorney!

I have known Mrs. Gurnani professionally for many years and I have maintained my confidence in her exceptional commitment to the law and to her clients. The strength of her background and experience in immigration law is evident in the way she handled and continues to handle all my cases. Mrs. Anita ...Gurnani had represented me in my application for naturalization as well as in petition of my wife’s green card. She helped us to well prepared with documents in advance, and preparing for the interview. She was very much accessible to answer all our questions and to address our concerns. I trusted in her legal acumen to take us through the process seamlessly. For my family, we have found a reliable, trustworthy, and excellent lawyer in Mrs. Anita Gurnani!. Her staff at Gurnani & Gurnnai Attorney at Law (Edison, NJ) is very professional and prompt at services as well.

Knowledgeable and Experienced

I retained Mrs. Gurnani to assist me in bringing my wife to the U.S. from Bangladesh. Mrs. Gurnani is very thorough and organized. Due to her knowledge and experience, she made the whole process seem painless. She was just a phone call away and responded to each one of my calls no matter how trivia...l my questions were. In addition to her work ethics and honesty, she is a caring and friendly person. Mrs. Gurnani and her team were always on top of my case. All the steps for my wife’s petition were taken care of very carefully. I felt like Mrs. Gurnani was one of my own. I regularly got phone calls and e-mails on any updates about my case. I really had a great experience with Gurnani & Gurnani. It has been my pleasure to work with this firm. Thank you for all your help.

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.

Review of Ms. Anita Gurnani

Ms Anita Gurnani is a conscientious attorney. From the start till the end, she diligently worked towards obtaining a green card for my mother; not a simple task given the age of my mother and the myriad problems we encountered while procuring the required certificates. Ms. Gurnani was extremely hel...pful and provided the best legal support and appropriate advice at all times. She and her team followed up with Immigration as and when necessary and successfully obtained the green card for my mother. A very knowledgeable and professional lawyer - in my opinion.
