WORST Immigration Attorney I've seen

I am a DACA recipient who got married to a US citizen. I came into the US illegally (which makes green card application difficult) and this is why I sought the help of an attorney. I consulted with Mehnaz and she gave me the worst legal advice. She advised me not to use advance parole to leave and co...me back to the US because I would not be able to get back in. She mentioned that if I did this, the 10 year bar will be activated and I will not be able to get back into the US until after 10 years. On top of this she mentioned that she may be able to help but it will be a minimum of $6,000 in fees and this did not guarantee that I will be able to stay in US. After her consultation, I left disheartend and very upset. I then sought out of the help of two other lawyers who disputed everything that she had to say and who mentioned that she gave me very bad legal advice and she should not be able to claim to be a lawyer who specializes in immigration as she does not know immigration law!! They advised me to use advance parole and I DID. The 10 year bar was not activated because under the advance parole statues- it does not activate this bar (doesn't count as you having left US, but it does count as you having legal entry once you come back. I got back into the US with advance parole and this gave me the legal entry I needed to apply for my green card. I since have applied for my green card and have been approved. If you are seeking legal advice, I advice you to stay away from this attorney as she gave me TERRIBLE advice that if I would have followed, could have potentially ruined my life. If you want thorough and accurate legal advice— stay away from Mehnaz. I hope that this helps those out there who are in the same boat as I was. Please look at the reviews, but also be very careful to examine the bad ones.

I met with Mehnaz regarding a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. She made me feel very comfortable and welcome. She is also very knowledgeable. I look forward to working with her.

Child custody

I am in the military and new to the area, I came across Ms. Khan by chance while searching for a lawyer online. She was very polite on the phone and willing to speak to me and answer questions that I had. She seemed like she was genuinely interested in helping me, unlike the other lawyers that I spo...ke to, that is what encouraged me to set up a consultation with her. Upon meeting Ms. Khan she was very professional and an expert on Virginia law. The reason I decided to hire her was that she is a mother, she understands the military, her rates are reasonable, and she is transparent in how she operates her business. I am very pleased with my experience with Ms. Khan. She will always make you feel like you are a priority, and act in your best interest. I would use her services again in the future and recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney!

Excellent Attorney

I recently had to make the very difficult decision to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I retained the services of Mehnaz Khan and she not only represented me with expert knowledge she helped me through this daunting experience with tact and compassion. She is a wonderful attorney and human being. Thank you... for everything!
