When things start wrong!!!

You have committed no crime yet you are sentenced to many many years of uncertainty and effectively the inability to travel beyond the borders of the US. The progressive uncertainty initiates with you then as your family expands it includes you, your spouse and your children. Common everyday words l...ike "right staffing, down sizing" have an uglier dimension and much much deeper meaning to you. The travel limitation effectively prevents you from "being there" when your family needs you. Yes indeed, you received the invitation card to your brother's wedding or the call about your uncle's accident but the leash that immigration has around you keeps you bound to your imposed limits. Sounds familiar? Well, welcome to a immigration case that got "randomized" or "stuck" for some reason or the other. During a time like this one needs a dynamic, competent and sharp attorney who has all the following traits: (Need one or two more here?) UNDERSTANDS YOUR NEEDS GIVES YOU HOPE & GUIDANCE IS PROFESSIONAL IS AVAILABLE - & willing to make the time. IS WILLING TO RESEARCH YOUR CASE ENSURES THAT YOUR COMPLETED FORMS/DOCUMENTS ARE TRIPLE CROSS-CHECKED, PACKAGED PROPERLY & SUBMITTED IN A TIMELY FASHION. Ms. Shah has consistently done all the above Her expertise stretches far beyond immigration law to include federal & family matters. With a cultural heritage stretching across 3 continents and a professional presence on both sides of the Atlantic Ms. Shah is the obvious choice when you need someone who thoroughly understands your needs, does her homework, and one who will gently stand by you over the years yet possesses a tenacious ferociousness when fighting on your behalf much like the lioness watching over her cubs. Too much? Well ...that is how I feel, so sue me ...I have Mona watching over me...

Recommend lawyer

Mona is one lawyer that you can most definitely rely upon to provide you with the latest legal information relevant to your case as well as fair and trustworthy predictable outcomes of your case. She is extremely professional in her advice, conduct and fair in how much she will charge. Mona is highly... approachable and yet maintains a professional rapport with all her clients. Her firm keeps you updated with your case via email and Mona adds a personal touch by calling you for any necessary changes to your case. I applied and received my Green Card through Mona Shah and Silvers and subsequent US Citizenship from a case that was somewhat complicated from the outset, however, with her expertise and knowledge, by placing my trust in Mona, my case went through smoothly!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer most highly, as I have worked closely with Ms. Shah on several client matters over the past 4 years. She takes on extremely complex cases, often ones that have been previously mishandled by other less skilled or careful lawyers. She is on top of the law, does an excellent job and will always go the extra mile to achieve success for a client."
