The Best Lawyer Honestly

Word cannot describe, he is the best and honest lawyer. He reviewed my immigration history, reviewed my case with me in detail, guided me through. We were kept informed of the progress of my case through the system and enables me to now freely live and work as a productive person.

Unparalleled Expertise!!!!!!

Mr. Soressa is unquestionably a cut above the rest!!!! I had a long, harrowing journey through the immigration court, and thanks to this fine attorney, I won Cancellation of Removal which prevented me from being separated from my sick mother, and enables me to now freely live and work as a productive..., legal, US resident. Prior to hiring Mr. Soressa, I was represented by an attorney whose work was shoddy at best, and whose approach to my case was apathetic and even callous, at worst. Mr. Soressa took my case at the eleventh hour, and did within a time-frame of days, superb work that should have taken months to complete. From the minute I met him, he had a vested interest in my case which is very important for a client. He answered my questions, addressed my concerns, and was knowledgeable about my case, the procedures and the entire process. While he could not offer guarantees, which I could not have reasonably expected, he promised to give me his best effort, and indeed he did. He had to start by fixing several deficiencies in my case that the previous attorney had caused. With a great sense of urgency, he typed up and compiled paperwork to put my case together, rushed back and forth to the court to retrieve and review documents pertaining to my case, all the while being meticulous, dotting every "I" and crossing every "T" so that when he was finished, he had a thoroughly prepared case to present to the honorable judge and government attorney. Oh, and I did not have to break the bank to pay him either. His reasonable fee relative to his excellent representation, is comparable to getting a Mercedes Benz for the price of a Honda Civic!! I cannot sing the praises of Mr. Soressa enough! If you want an attorney who is an expert in removal defense and all matters concerning immigration, and who goes above and beyond because he genuinely cares about his clients, your search stops here!! This man gets five stars and his AVVO rating should be a 10!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Soressa!!! Tammy

Professionalism at its best

My wife attorney transferred us to Shifa the very day we were going for my interview. He responded promptly met us, went through our documents and took us to the interview room. I was given 10 years green card just as he told us before the interview after going through our document. He is so professi...onal and good at what he does.

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.
