Best In Class Immigration Attorney

When me and my wife got married, there was no question that we would use the law firm of Naresh Gehi for her marriage-based greencard. Mr. Gehi always made sure that we were taken care off in a prompt fashion. Mr. Gehi and his team ensured the process was seamless, from filling out all the paperwork..., following-up with any RFE’s / correspondence, and making sure we were adequately prepared for our adjustment of status interview. Mr. Gehi and his team always showed how knowledgeable they were, keeping in mind the everchanging political and immigration landscape. His advice is very clear-cut and straightforward, laying out all options or actions to take in a simple manner. If I ever need legal assistance again, there is no doubt that Mr. Gehi would be the first and only attorney I would call. He is truly an expert and the best in his field.

Amazing staff and legit lawyers

Hello. My name is Affendi B A Karim. I am a transgender woman who was an illegal immigrant and Mr Gehi and his team helped me throughout my journey to obtained my Permament Residence. Professionalism - the first time I met Mr. Gehi, I was in the process of getting deported. Mr.Gehi affirmed and c...almed me down. He did not ask me about money or any financial gains that would benifited him. The first thing he did was to emphatized and listened to what I have to say. I told him that I don’t know what to do and I am afraid of getting deported. He advised me in many ways. I had a really bad lawyer before and I am so grateful that I switched lawyers. Mr. Gehi literally map out what he was going to do and I was so shocked that this man actually know what the law is and also protected me from harm. He also overturned my deportation im the first week. As time progresses, he filed for my work authorization and I am allowed to work legally. The process was at times stressful but I pull through with the help of him and his team. He has has a great team Safashia, Anji, Urwah, thank you so much for helping me in this process. You guys are top Of the crop. A+++. Thank you. Legitimacy - Mr. Gehi establishment is legit. He cares about you. I have met many lawyers that would take your money but does not care about your issues. This is the place you want to go to have your case heard and represented. He will get you legal. I am living proof and with my challenges, it is possible. Humanity - He and his team has this humanity factor. They are not ignorant. I am a transgender woman and they represent me. They don’t discriminate. They treat anyone with respect, compassion and integrity. You will feel at home and well look after by them I cannot Express my thankfulness and gratitude. He and his team has given me a new life. A new hope in America. I cannot thanked them more. Thank you Mr Gehi, Safashia,Anji and Urwah. You guys not only changed my life but you have me a new life to look forward to. Thank you.

Excellent professional service !!!

Gehi & Associates helped through a long visa application process. They were patient and professional throughout the long process, and undoubtedly ensured the successful grant. For the work they did, the expense was very reasonable, and we have no hesitation in contracting them for the next stage of... our immigration process.

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.
