Knowledgeable and experiences

I would like to thank Ramesh Shrestha and his staff in handling my immigration case . Ramesh and his office staff provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention. I learn Shrestha Law firm through a personal friend and they were wonderful. Not only did they help me ...but they were quick, efficient, and responsiveness in helping solve my issues. Mr Ramesh safe me from my former lawyer whom I hired for my deportation proceedings. My former lawyer knew the date and time of my hearing but he came later more than 3hours which mess my case and the judge issues a removal order. Because of his incompetence he filed twice motion to reopen but judge rejected it because of wrong filing. Thank to Mr Ramesh whom I met and he took over my case. Mr Ramesh showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout the legal process. This helped me a great deal to get through this and finally my Green Card. I highly recommend Shrestha law firm to anyone seeking legal services in immigration cases.

Best Immigration Lawyer

Ramesh sir helped me with my immigration case, and because of his guidance and support, my visa got approved. There were many problems and a lot of documents to submit, but he guided me step by step. Without his help, it would have been very hard to get the visa. He is a very good and knowledgeable l...awyer. He spent a lot of time on my case, explaining every doubt and solving all our problems with patience. I’m really thankful to him and I highly recommend him for any immigration work.

A Lawyer Who Makes a Difference

I found Ramesh Kumar Shrestha after reading glowing reviews, and I can say with full confidence—they were all true. I was overwhelmed and unsure of my next steps, but from the moment I spoke with him, I felt a sense of direction and peace. His deep knowledge, professionalism, and the support of his a...mazing team were instrumental in getting my case approved. This was more than just legal assistance—it was guidance through one of the most difficult and uncertain chapters of my life. I’m forever thankful and would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who delivers both results and reassurance.
