He was excellent to work with. Kind, smart and very knowledgeable. Thank you very much for your support.
"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."
"I'm pleased to endorse Yahya. He is a top-notch immigration lawyer and a zealous advocate for his clients. A highly recommended attorney."
