Grateful And Happy Client

I visited Gehi & Associates on 7/2015, with lots of despair and not knowing where to turn. I met Mr Naresh Gehi, he was very warm inviting and very knowledgeable about the immigration laws. He assured me immediately that I had a case worth fighting for. He turned my case over to his trustee Paralegal... (Nalisha Rampersaud) who made me feel very much relaxed and easy to talk to her about anything. Mr Gehi applied for both an (I765) Work Permit & (I485) Green Card on my behalf. On 5/2017 I received my Work Permit and only a short 10 months later 3/2018 I received my Green Card. The entire staff was very warm and helped me when calling the office with any questions. I would highly recommend Gehi & Associates seeking any and all immigration needs. Extremely Grateful & Happy Client, Roberta (8037).

He's the best for a reason

MR Gehi has helped my family member when other lawyers told her that her case was impossible. She's now a citizen. So it was only natural for me to seek his expertise when I needed help. The staff is very knowledgeable and Mr Gehi is very professional. I felt like family every visit. He exudes confid...ence which makes the process more bearable. It took approximately 1 year to get my Green card based on marriage. Thank you to Gehi& Associates for your hard work and dedication. We appreciate you and I will definitely recommend this law firm.

H1B complicated case

Mr. Gehi is such a wonderful lawyer. I had a very complicated visa transfer case. He handled it with so much care and professionalism. I truly was amazed how he just solved everything in a blink of an eye. I haven't seen a lawyer so sharp and knowledgeable like him. Not only did he help with the case..., he also provided a lot of comfort by assuring me that my case is priority for him. I can't thank him enough for helping me out as the other lawyers that I met only made me feel like I had committed a crime by not consulting them. Mr. Gehi, truly appreciate all that you dof for me and for all other hearts that you have touched. Many thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Permanent Residence to Citizenship

My Daughter Hired Mr.Gehi throughout her immigration period from processing her Residence to Citizenship. We are extremely satisfied with his professional approach. He treats you like family. His fees very reasonable and his staff is knowledgeable and very efficient. He guides you through the whole p...rocess and ensures that you have all the correct documents as they are needed. Thank you Mr. Gehi.

excellent lawyer with immaculate knowledge

I visited Mr. Gehi's office when I had no hopes and my dreams were shattered in an immigration related case. He offered a free consultation and explained my case, and how he chose to resolve it. I decided to hire him and that was the best decision i ever made. He guided me in a complicated emplo...yer-made blunder in my H1B visa. My employer had forgotten to file for a change of status. He reopened the case and got my extension of stay approved. I am finally visiting India with a clean set of documents to get my H1b stamped. thank you sir.

Avvo Rating

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.
