An Attorney Who Truly Fights for His Clients!

I had an extremely complex and difficult immigration case involving asylum, removal proceedings, and the revocation of my Green Card due to mistakes made by previous attorneys. My family and I lived in constant fear of deportation and separation. Everything changed when we found Thabit Law Firm, L...LC. Mr. Yahya carefully reviewed my case, treated me like family, and fought for me with incredible dedication and professionalism. Despite how complicated my situation was, he never gave up. Because of his hard work, I received my 10-year Green Card in 2021 and proudly became a U.S. citizen in 2024. Mr. Yahya is not only highly knowledgeable but also honest, compassionate, and truly cares about his clients. If it were not for him, I would have been deported. My family and I are forever grateful. I highly recommend Thabit Law Firm, LLC to anyone facing immigration challenges.

I had an excellent experience working with Yahya. From the beginning, He was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood all my options. His attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence throughout the entire p...rocess. I truly appreciate his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy legal representation.

Yahya's approach is a rare combination of intelligence and genuine empathy. In a world where personal connection can be hard to find, he makes you feel comfortable and truly heard. His skills are outstanding, and I have full confidence in his work. I will definitely be recommending him to everyone I ...know!

Immigration lawyer | Feb 07

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Yahya is one of the best lawyers in our area for complex immigration matters. In times where winning a grant of asylum is less than 14% nationwide, Yahya is one of the few attorneys that can pull it off. He also has helped my firm with last minute master calendar hearings and always provides superior client service. Clients always return to my office feeling well represented in court and having all of their questions and concerns answered. When the chips are down and the case is on the line, Yahya is always my go-to attorney who I know will score in the paint."
