I cant Thank Them Enough!

I cant say enough to praise Mr. Devang Shah in particular and the entire team at Shah in Kishore in general. My L1A Visa experience was amazing thanks to Devang and his team. Initially I was a bit skeptical and concerned because of my new office situation. Devang met me as and when required, drafted ...my petition meticulously, answered all my questions promptly and hence I got my L1A approval. He and his team of lawyers and para-legals have a great professional attitude and attention to detail which is the reason behind their spectacular record. In the process of filing and getting my L1A approved, Devang became a close friend. I cant thank them enough!!! Thanks Devang and Team.

An outstanding immigration lawyer!

Devang Mukund Shah is an example of a great immigration lawyer. I was in a highly complex situation with my H1B extension, in missing the last date and I approached him. He was highly patient in answering all my queries and through his expertise he found a way out. Now I have my approval without any... RFE and I credit it all to him. He is highly knowledgable, helpful and efficient. Also, he helped me retain my priority date when I changed my employers in the past. I will continue to do all my immigration paperwork with him,till I get my green card. I would recommend him to all my family and friends as I am a highly satisfied client.

Best Law Firm!

We had worked with Shah & Kishore to help us acquire L-1 status and then Employment based permanent residency in the United States. I cannot thank Mr. Shah and his staff enough for the outstanding job they did for us. Getting my L1 approved was really tough, but we knew that our case is in the best h...ands and if someone can do it, it would be this firm only. From your first conversation with Mr. Shah, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Anytime I had an issue, concern or question with my case, Mr. Shah or his associate attorneys were available to answer my questions or address my concerns. I would also like to mention that the support staff also embodies the same level of excellence as Mr. Shah. Because of their excellent work Shah & Kishore firm has been rated one of top immigration law firms in the U.S. Mr. Shah is recognised leader in the field of immigration law. We are forever grateful to Mr. Shah and the support staff. I would recommend this firm to all who needs legal expertise!"

Green Card processing

Had great experience with Mr. Shah and Falguni Desai while working on my Green Card process. Very responsive and have complete knowledge of the entire process. They guide you throughout even with silliest of your questions. They catch any problems before hand to have enough time before actually deadl...ines.

Mr Perfect

Devang is a expert lawyer and he knows how to deal with critical cases and get them approved. Recently, He worked on my H1B transfer case. After receiving RFEs, I thought that my all dreams were shattered. Devang's team documented it very nicely and responded to the RFE immediately. I almost lost the... hopes and I thought that I have to pack my bags and leave the country but that's not the case I got the approval notice and living the american dream now . He knows the value of time and how critical is the case and how quickly they have to respond. He understands our concerns and gives a top priority to it. Guys, Believe me ShanandKishore is a top firm to work with. I would definitely recommend to all my friends and colleagues to file their visa related cases with them only .

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.
