excellent attorney

hi well well well. i almost gave up when i saw this attorney recommended by one of friends. and i was glad and thankful to god that i was being sent to this guy. the first very meeting gave me so much relief as i was being denied my case by uscis. and i would have probably followed by deportation(don...t want to remember those days). but i trusted mr gehi and reprocessed the case as he guided. believe me or not i felt like the god was with me on the day of interview....and guess what last year on august 29th my application for green card got approved. thanks to mr gehi and his law firm. his employees are so nice understanding and prompt. i have already recommended 2 people and he is seeing them and ll keep on doing this...

A benchmarking attorney

I have used Mr. Gehi for my immigration work as well as my wife's. His approach was very pleasing, absolutely to-the-point, in-depth and innovative that seamlessly saw us through the immigration process without severe headaches and complications. I have enjoyed meeting him on every occasion that I ha...ve had the pleasure of interacting with him and I look forward to more interactions in the future. His work and attitude has made him a part of our family.

Very Knowledgeable for all types immigration cases

I recently recommended Mr Gehi to my uncle for a very difficult marriage-based immigration case. Mr Gehi had handled my tricky immigration case about 5 years ago and I was very happy with his effort and knowledge, which ultimately gave me the desired result. So for my uncle, I could not think of any ...other lawyer. Mr Gehi personally took up my uncle’s case, since it was extremely complicated. In the first meeting with my uncle, he was very upfront and explained the difficult chances of the desired result in the case. But, he promised he will fight with USCIS within all legal recourses available. After a year of complicated maneuvers with USCIS, in March this year my uncle finally received the approval notice for his marriage-based green card. Even, my uncle is pleasantly surprised, along with the entire family. We had almost given up hope, but Mr Gehi has done an incredible job. His office kept us updated in a timely manner on the legal aspects of the case and we are very happy with his services.

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.
