Professional, competent, and very pleasant

This is Abdulla Al Mamun, The attorney will review your asylum case. Each case is handled very well by the attorney and office assistants. I recommend this attorney for all Nationalities and specially Bangladeshis. আমি আল মামুন, আইনজীবী আপনার আশ্রয় মামলা পর্যালোচনা করবেন। আইনজীবী এবং অফিস সহকার...ীরা প্রতিটি মামলা খুব ভালোভাবে পরিচালনা করেন। আমি সকল জাতীয়তার জন্য এবং বিশেষ করে বাংলাদেশীদের জন্য এই আইনজীবীর সুপারিশ করছি.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
