Amin is an outstanding attorney. His trial work in Removal Defense is superb - he is always prepared, articulate and passionate. Further, his legal writing for Motions to Reopen and BIA Appeals are extremely persuasive and filled with relevant case law and arguments. Amin goes above and beyond for clients and can relate to them, as he speaks multiple languages. I highly recommend Amin!

I met Amin Ganjalizadeh through AILA. He was very helpful when I first started a few years ago and graciously advised on different inquiries new members submitted. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share his expertise. Additionally, he is also a good trial attorney who is quick on his feet as I had the pleasure of observing him in one of his trials. I fully endorse him.

Attorney Ganjalizadeh is one of the best advocating attorneys in the Boston community. He is a sharp, clever, tenacious and appropriately aggressive attorney. He is a heavy hitter in the courtroom where your case matters most. Attorney Ganjalizadeh also has each and every client's best interest at heart and is equipped with the best resources/experience to deliver the results you as a client know you are entitled to. As a disability attorney who holds themselves to the highest standards, I easily endorse Attorney Ganjaziladeh and would want him representing my own legal disputes.
