Unconditional Support

What do you look for in a lawyer… Expert advice, experienced, smart strategy, professionalism, kindness, and last but not least who understands your issue. Luckily, I got all of these qualities in Mr. Ramesh Shrestha and his team at Shrestha Law Firm. Mr. Shrestha’s experience, knowledge, and strateg...y on top of all his valuable time saved me from deportation. He is straightforward, giving me a real chance of a successful outcome since my case was in a very tough court. Finally, I got approved for my asylum case and my green card is in my hand. I had the privilege of working with their law firm, I highly recommend Mr. Shrestha and his incredible staff.

Best Immigration attorney

The best immigration attorney for all immigration cases. I went to Mr. Shrestha’s office through the recommendation of one of my friends. I had a bad experience from my previous attorney and I did not know what would come out. But to my surprise, he took time to review my case and gave me the confide...nce that I needed to succeed. He was very straight forward and knowledgeable. I immediately hired him. Fast forward, my EB-3 case is approved and today received my green card without an interview. I thank him with my whole heart. If he takes your case, assume you are positively 90% done. I strongly recommend Mr. Shrestha for any immigration case, whether it’s easy or complex.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

Amazingly professional, detailed and to the point attorney. I had few lawyers in the past but I just wasted money and got nothing. One Attorny even made me subject to deportation order. But Mr. Shrestha skillfully navigated my case and removed all the obstacles. Today, I am a permanent resident of th...e United States. If anyone looking for an experienced immigration attorney, do a favor to yourself and just go to him. I strongly recommend attorney Shrestha for any immigration case.

Very Professional

Approved!! Been waiting for so many years to see, hear and feel this word. Finally, our journey of “greencard process” has come to an end on a happy note. One of the key person in making this journey successful is Mr. Ramesh Shrestha. Before starting this journey, met few lawyers but the most genuine... one, I felt, was him. On our first meet, he was straight to the point, YES or NO. He made things very clear and didn’t try to give false hope just to gain a client. Moving forward, he continuously gave different options when we were in doubt. He is very detailed in each and every step of the process. Moreover, he is someone whom you can completely rely on as he will always update you about the progress of the case. This whole process became easier only because of his guidance and promptness. I am very glad about my decision on choosing him as our lawyer. Therefore, I had to write this review so that people know where they can get best and genuine service. I strongly recommend Mr. Shrestha to everyone!!
