she is exceptional and well versed with the latest immigration regulations and laws

I don't know how to write a review for someone as exceptional as Mrs Karimi, there are not enough words to express my admiration for her excellence, competence, professionalism, and dedication to consistently go above and beyond putting in a significant amount of extra time to cover every detail. ...I had been looking for an immigration lawyer who is well versed with the latest immigration policies and regulations and can clearly and concisely answer my questions and concerns. Sure enough once I talked to her stressful process became so manageable. I can't write enough about her thoroughness with her answers to every question and her follow up to send in supporting document right after every conversation. She made sure I completely and confidently have all the answers as needed. She is rare in her profession and her positivity and genuine thoughtfulness is irreplaceable. Every conversation I had with her was meaningful and resourceful. I won't hesitate to recommend her one thousand percent to anyone who needs a capable and extremely competent immigration Lawyer.

A lawyer that cares about your case

After speaking with several immigration lawyers, Shadi was a breath of fresh air. Right away, she responded to my email with how she would approach my situation and the chances for our success. During our consultation, she asked important questions to assess my dwelling history and the favorable and ...unfavorable points in our case. She answered all of my questions and concerns, and provided guidance as to how she will respond to the RFE. She analyzed the evidence and informed me of small details and nuances that no other lawyer brought to my attention, which would increase our chances of success. Shadi is super sharp, professional, attentive, responsive, and well spoken. You can tell she really cares about her clients and their success. Therefore, I would highly recommend anyone who needs help with an immigration case to consult Shadi, as her unique combination of knowledge, experience, discretion, and perseverance will maximize your chances of success.

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.
