VP-Client Services

As our immigration lawyer, he makes our petition in a very professional manner and takes time and gives his personal attention to respond to the RFE's that are pretty common in current times. He works meticulously to get us the h1b approvals that is very critical for our operations.

Best in the business!

I've worked with Vijay Bhagwati on several immigration requirements including my own L1A, Green Card and my team's H1B, L1A/B, EAD, RFE's, etc. Vijay and his team are great people to work with and specialized in all immigration areas. Very responsive (calls, emails, WhatsApp...), always guided well, ...answered all questions and solved several complex scenarios successfully. I also need to mention that the level of professionalism, detailed documentation, and attention to details were excellent. I highly recommend him for all immigration related matters.

Very systemic and efficient

Filed H1 petition for me. Process was made simplier because of his systematic approach and attention to details

CEO

It has been a great experience working with Vijay Bhagwati and his staff for the last 9 years. Vijay has worked and continues to represent our company on several immigration matters including but not limited to H1s, L1 and Green Cards etc.  I am impressed by his knowledge, legal acumen, ethics  and p...rofessionalism. I can reasonably say that he is is one of the best Immigration attorneys in the field. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, detailed and attention oriented which is what we as clients expect. I am so very thankful to be associated with his law firm. While working on immigration matters, the last thing you want to see is violating any rules and regulations to ensure your business doesn't get interrupted and I must say that Vijay has always been forthcoming and rendered us proactive advice. You cannot wrong with him. We will continue to work with him.

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.
