Permanent residency

My immigration case was very complicated. As you know New York City with thousands of lawyers.... I’ve decided to hire Reza on the spot. I did consult more lawyers before him. He was straight forward and realistic “ it’s not gonna be easy but possible just be patient “he told me after reviewing my c...ase and look into his magical book ( immigration laws). I will definitely recommend him to anyone that have immigration issues. He knows the law and put it into action. The battle wasn’t easy it took 5 years to end. We did achieve the goal together. YAY THANK YOU REZA you did an awesome job with my case. All his team was very helpful to mention Roselyn, Sanjay, Nikolay, Ray, and much more at the office thank you everybody.

Professional

My Spouse and I came in for a consult regarding the greencard application and immigration process overall. We had so many questions and weren’t sure where to begin. The greencard application and process can be tricky and so we decided to hire Reza as our immigration lawyer. Reza made the process easy... by answering all our questions and by explaining the process in great detail. He was very responsive to our emails and worked with us and our busy schedules. We had the option to have a lawyer present during our interview which was great as we liked having the support. I would definitely reccomend Reza!

Immigration visa issue was resolved

Reza helped me for my husbands visa when it went into administrative processing. He was patient enough to listen all my concerns and helped me out, I definitely recommend him for any criminal/immigration issues as at that point of agony anybody would be looking out more for a friendly talk to share t...he pressure rather than just an attorney.My husbands visa is now processed and I’m very thankful for all the help I got from him.

EXPERIENCE ,DOWN TO EARTH, BEST IN THE BUSINESS OF IMMIGRATION LAW

Reza Mazaheri of Sethi & Mazaheri LLC, is hands down one of the best in the immigration business if not the best. I felt like he literally took my case personal. Prior to going to him, my case was denied and I've had consultations with many other lawyers but he was the most detailed and down-to-earth... of them all and that's a big plus. He took the time out to analyze my case then decide on the best form of execution. He did a hardship waiver for me, which we all know are the most difficult cases to be approved and I was blown away by his experience and knowledge when it comes to hardship wavers. He magically presented a strong substantial hardship case even when I honestly thought I didn't had a chance. Thanks to him my immigration issues are a think of the past and most importantly I'm here together with my wonderful wife and son.

My experience with Reza Mazaheri

I had the most desirable experience with Reza. He handled my application for permanent residency for more than a year, and stayed on top of it until it got approved. Reza's work is exceptionally competitive because he anticipated and prepared for all possible outcomes. As a result, we had no back and... forth with USCIS--something that is very common in similar applications. He is truly committed to his clients and offers the best possible legal service. I have already recommended him to several people, and will keep doing so in the future.

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.
