Esma Onal

I had an outstanding experience with my attorney and truly cannot recommend them enough. Just 30 minutes to an hour before my individual asylum hearing, DHS filed a pre-termination motion against me pursuant to the ACA Uganda agreement. It was an incredibly stressful and unexpected situation. Howe...ver, my lawyer remained calm, focused, and highly professional. With deep knowledge of immigration law and strong advocacy, she was able to successfully challenge and overcome the motion. Thanks to her preparation, quick thinking, and dedication, we were able to move forward and secure a positive outcome in my case. This was not an easy situation, but my attorney handled it with confidence and skill. I’m extremely grateful for her support during such a critical moment in my life. If you are looking for a lawyer who will truly fight for you and stand by you when it matters most, I highly recommend her services.

I want to leave a glowing review for Esma. She was instrumental in helping me obtain my green card. Throughout the entire process, she was always available to answer every question I had. Esma truly went above and beyond, even assisting me with advice on other legal questions outside of the immediate... case. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I am so happy we chose to work with her and highly recommend her services!

Esma recently won my asylum case. I am from a county in the Middle East and I was persecuted there because I am an atheist person. Esma won my case against all the odds. I also suffer from various medical and mental conditions. Esma used a highly qualified expert reports for my case and made them ava...ilable for testimony and even did a mock practice with them so that they testify consistently with the reports that were provided. DHS opposed on all grounds, but my judge wrote a long decision explaining why she believes I met my burden. Special thanks to Attorney Onal for winning my case against all the odds. I will forever be grateful to her for changing my life and giving me a hope for a safe and sound future.

I started working with Ms. Esma in 2020, and from day one until today, she has always been my lawyer. She is truly professional in her field and manages the process well. I received my green card in January 2026. She even managed the delivery and shipping process of my green card to my home with utmo...st care. I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer.
