This is a scam

This is a scam. Do not fall into it. Money suckers, don't know how to do anything.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I talked to several attorneys about my case and ultimately realized I was too early in the process to need a lawyer quite yet. I felt that Atty Malik explained very complicated issues to me in a way that didn't feel like she was talking down to me or wasting her time!

Great Laywer

I came back to USA after a long period living in my country and suddenly I found myself with a expired Green Card. I found Mrs. Malik and she is just a greater lawyer. She didn’t just make the online application but she also explain to me how should I behave in face to the immigration office and ever...ything works just fine and I got back my Green Card. And do you know what was the best part? Her price is fair. I do recommend her for all immigration matter. Thank you Mrs. Malik.

An expert in the domain

My experience with Merium has been really positive. She is a hard-working and meticulous lawyer, who goes above an beyond to make the life of her clients better. She knows the complexities surrounding the US legal and immigration system. Merium is dedicated to her profession, she is clearly doing i...t out of passion and it is not an easy place to be!) which enables her to have a natural empathy for her clients and high emotional intelligence - a skill that is becoming scarce these days. Merium's professionalism, expertise and human touch really struck me and I'd gladly recommend her for anyone looking to hire an attorney.

01 Artist Visa Renewal

Immigration lawyer I used to renew my professional 01 Artist Visa - Mirium had one assistant who was always communicating about what paperwork or steps were necessary to be taken. Only a few appointments were needed to drop documents back & forth but any questions I had were always taken care of pr...omptly. Only issue we had was the original paperwork filed which needed to be looked at by the team more though-rally before sending the first time. I would suggest for any future applicant to always book an appointment for an official overview of the paperwork before sending. We unfortunately were on a small time frame & I had to leave the city on a trip. I Highly recommend this Law Firms services as they are quality lawyers & are very reasonable, if you are having financial difficulties they will make payment arrangements to help you!! I really love the fact that they support/help personal female businesses in assisting with Immigration :) Book an appointment

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Malik shows a true passion for her clients by not only advocating for their cases; but by also advancing changes in the culture, climate and laws of modern immigration procedure. The overused "zealous advocacy" bandied about by many less qualified attorneys attorneys is however very apt in describing her practice."

  • 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.
