Very sincere, compassionate and Responsible

In few words, below are the things Anita Gurnani did for me. 1. My H1B visa which was entrusted to her by my sponsoring company in 2001. 2. My green card for which I approached her myself. 3. My citizenship which was lot more complex than a normal case. 4. My brothers immigration. 5. And in 201...7 my parents application for their Green card. Anita clearly knows what needs to be done, and she goes through each and every case details and makes sure that nothing is missed. And I can say that I haven't seen anyone more sincere than her with her job (may be its a passion) and the individual attention that she pays to each case. I did not want to take any chance with my parents immigration and I did not even think of considering someone else since in all my cases i only saw 100% success.

Decent Experience

We hired Mrs. Gurnani for my Adjustment of Status(AOS). During course of my Green Card process, we had move to different address and she helped us to have our applications updated with new address. Got Green Card approved with no RFE. Overall, decent and good experience.

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.

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.
