A Professional Job — Well Done!!

After trying to get help from so many agencies for my service connected disability, I was told that I did not have a chance at all. It wasn’t until I found Mr Raza Mahood that my chances changed for the good. Mr Raza never gave up on my case. He knew how to respond to the papers and letters received ...from the VA and worked with me until our mission was accomplished!!! It was because of his tenacious attitude to get results that I finally got my disability approved.

Efficient!

Raza took care of my Immigration process in 2019, I went through the Fiance Visa (K1) process and the results was satisfactory and immediate. He was open for any doubts and kept me informed of all updates, by email, phone and meetings. His knowledge made a hard case like mine not feel stressful. I d...ecided to keep him as my attorney for further green card and residency processes.

Made the process extremely easy

Raza is an extremely nice guy to work with. He did all of the legwork for me to get my citizenship, which I had been putting off for several years. He took care of all of the paperwork, called me to advise me before I had my interview, and made sure nothing was left unchecked. Thanks to his help, eve...rything went extremely smoothly and I obtained my citizenship without a hitch!

Life Saver

I hired Raza to help with my wifes citizenship. He was fantastic and made the process extremely easy and stress free. Raza took care of all the paperwork, filing, scheduling appointments. He prepared my wife for the interview and test. This was the best decision ever for getting citizenship, it t...ook all the stress out of having to fill out forms or wonder if I was properly filing everything.
