Simply the best!!!

Shifa is the most honest and compassionate person I have dealt with. I was introduced to him after being given the round around by various lawyers after my difficult immigration case. At my first meeting ,he gave me no assurance but was very honest and straight forward with me about the approach to m...y case. He explained every step of the process and what he can do and wouldn't do. He apply the law in a very meticulous fashion. He was always available to answer questions and ease my concerns anytime there was any delays. If you ever needed a GOOD lawyer to represent you, one who would be on your side and apply the law in a honest and legitimate way pick up a phone and call Shifa.

always helpful and professional

I have had Shifa Soressa work on the different phases of my case for the last 3 years or more ,he is also working on my sisters case with the same consistency in the quality of his work. He handles every question with patience and responds in a very accurate and easy to understand manner. I mostly ap...preciate how professional he and his staff are.

Perfect service

Shifa was fast and professional, and was very articulate in what I needed to do to get my green card. The process isn't easy thanks to him it was all worth it! I highly recommend him.

A caring dedicated and top rated immigration lawyer

Shifa helped my wife (waiver) and I become naturalized US Citizens. He reviewed our immigration history, reviewed our case with us in detail, assisted us in completing the required paperwork, guided us through the entire process including interview preparation. We were kept informed of the progress ...of our case through the system. Shifa was a fantastic in dealing with our immigration cases. Though the processes them selves were long and drawn out. We always felt that Shifa was in complete control and working hard for the best possible outcome. Over a period of four years Shifa consistently proved himself to be more than capable.
