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- THE REAL DEAL

Reza Mazaheri, Sanjay Sethi and their team handled my Cancellation of Removal case after ICE agents came to my house one day and placed me in deportation proceedings. As my family searched for the right Law firm to represent me in the case, they were told by several lawyers that nothing could be do...ne, whereas Reza never promised anything, but always assured me and my family that they have handled such cases and have a formula for success.They were extremely honest regarding the length of time I will be detained and away from my family, and what I can expect throughout. Their expert team of knowledgeable staff which allowed the entire 6 month process to be fluid and executed to perfection, always provided realistic expectations & most importantly achieved our objective of being granted Cancellation of my deportation from the US. Reza came to visit me at the jail on numerous occasions to discuss my case and any outstanding questions pertaining to it, always keeping me updated and informed as to not cause any unnecessary worries. I never felt like Reza and Sanjay had forgotten me or they were too busy to pay attention to the smallest details in my case. They provided me and my family their cell phone numbers so we may reach out to them any time and promptly replied to any inquiries or questions my family had for them or their team. This was most certainly an eye opening experience and please be advised of any attorney who guarantees or promises anything. There is no guarantee in this arena, and I have met many people who were with me in deportation proceedings who were given false hope by other attorneys, just so they pay the retainer fee. I'm VERY happy WITH THE RESULT AS THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS and I can't thank Reza, Sanjay and their team enough.

Knowledgeable, Reliable, Helpful

First of all, I would like to once again thank Mr. Raza Mazaheri for helping and guiding me in our immigration case. I found him a very knowledgeable, helpful professional and budget friendly. During the process of our case he always remained cooperative. He promptly returned to our emails, responded... all the queries well in time and offered able guidance. Therefore, anyone who needs excellent lawyer and one of the best legal services in town I would highly recommend him to be the right selection.
