Smart, Thoughtful and Capable Lawyer

We engaged Vijay and his team to help us file an H1B application for one of our employees and we had a successful outcome. He is smart, helpful and hard working at doing the due diligence and detailed, complicated work that needs to be done. He's also very professional at the way he and the team comm...unicated with us in a tight timeline. I would highly recommend Vijay and his team.

Professional Service

Mr. Bhagwati was very professional and has in depth knowledge of immigration laws. I wish I knew him before which would have made things better for me for sure. Mr. Bhagwati addressed all my concerns and answered all the questions which made the process very smooth and successful. I am glad that I ma...de the right choice. Also want to acknowledge Maria for her patience listening to my concerns and responding promptly.

One of the best immigration lawyer

I spoke with Mr. Bhagwati to address some questions regarding my immigration services. After our discussion, I was convinced and decided to hire him for his services. Now that the process has been successfully completed, I am certain that I made the correct choice. Both Mr. Bhagwati and Maria were ...exceptional in their patience and guidance. They took the time to educate me about the best and worst-case scenarios, ensuring I was well-prepared. I highly recommend their services.

Excellent Attorney

Excellent attorney with in depth knowledge of immigration laws. Also wanted to acknowledge Maria (his legal assistant) for all her help in preparing the documents.

Professional and experienced lawyer

Bhagwati and Bhagwati law firm represented my green card case. The process from the start was thorough and systematic. Mr. Vijay and his staff member Maria are very passionate and diligent about what they do. Mr. Vijay is a very experienced immigration lawyer and prepared us very well till the date ...of interview. The law firm is always ahead and very proactive and service is of highest quality that one would expect from a professional firm.

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.
