Michael Radigan, Asylum Attorney on Dec 9, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I wholeheartedly endorse Ramesh Shrestha. Ramesh and I have worked together on numerous political asylum cases over the last ten years. His knowledge of the law of immigration and asylum is without peer and his advocacy skills are superb. He fights hard for his clients and represents them zealously. If you need help with any immigration or political asylum matter, Mr. Shrestha should be your first choice of an attorney.
