Amin at AG Legal Delivers Excellence!!!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Amin from AG Legal, even though I live in California and his firm is located in Virginia. I was initially concerned about the geographical distance, but Amin's exceptional service quickly put my worries to rest. Amin made the entire legal process incredibly convenient by conducting our communication primarily through email. His responsiveness was truly remarkable. Amin consistently replied promptly to my inquiries, ensuring that I never felt in the dark or uncertain about the progress of my case. What truly stood out to me was Amin's dedication to clarity and detail. He took the time to explain every aspect of the legal process, making sure that I fully understood the steps he was going to take and the implications of each decision. This level of communication and transparency was immensely reassuring. In the end, Amin's expertise and professionalism resulted in a successful outcome for my case. I couldn't be more pleased with his services and highly recommend AG Legal, even if you're located outside of Virginia. Amin's commitment to his clients, regardless of their location, is a testament to his dedication to his profession. Thank you, Amin, for making a potentially complex legal situation so accessible and stress-free. I genuinely appreciate your outstanding communication and attention to detail.

There aren't enough words to say thank you to Mr. Amin Ganjalizade at AG Legal, PLLC. Throughout the years I have petitioned some of my relatives to come to the United States of America. I have never seen an immigration lawyer as kind, generous, devoted, and hard-working, with unwavering commitment as Amin Ganjalizade. He was always available when we needed his advice. He thought us the real value of a good lawyer. From our initial consultation to the end of our immigration process, he was patient, polite, and very supportive. His years of experience and expertise gave us confidence. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Amin Ganjalizade and AG Legal, PLLC to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation in immigration matters. TRUST ME HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER. Thank you, Amin and your entire team at AG Legal PLLC for helping us achieve our dream of obtaining our green cards. We are forever grateful for your exceptional service.

VERY knowledgeable, kind and charismatic. Won our asylum after 9 year wait!

My asylum case (from Syria) was pending for 9 years with no sign of any movement. I worked with several immigration attorneys, and Amin was the only one who I found to be extremely knowledgeable (and researched the few questions he was not fully confident about before giving an answer). Amin was also very fast to respond, very kind to work with, and really knew how to speak with people at USCIS to get action. I highly recommend Amin for Asylum cases. Thank you for all the help Amin! :)

Best immigration lawyer

Amin was smart, efficient, courteous and very effective in resolving some issues related to incorrect paperwork that led to a delay in processing my permanent residence card renewal. Within a few weeks of his hiring, he had drafted an appropriate response with backup documents and we had the renewed permanent resident card mailed to us.

Naturalization Process

From the moment I found Amin, I knew he would guide me through the process smoothly. He made sure I understood the process and provided me with all the information I needed to successfully become a citizen. He was available anytime I had a question and I have to say that’s one of the things that I appreciate most! I had contacted previous lawyers before who would not even be available when needed to answer questions and overall not show a care for their client but Amin is the complete opposite and more! He was always there when I had a question and made sure I was confident in all the steps of the process. Thank you for everything Amin!

Peace Of Mind

To say that he is wonderful is not even close to describing Amin as a lawyer. the process of obtaining my wife’s green card was swift and East. I can’t express enough how amazing of a person Amin is. He is very genuine and upfront about the process and keeps you in the loop. He make sure that you are aware of everything. He’s very detailed and specific in the way he does things I am so glad we hired him for our case. He just made everything so much easier. If you want peace of mind, knowing that it will be done properly and correctly then he’s the man.

"I previously worked at Leyruta PLLC, where Amin held the position of Supervising Attorney. However, he departed from the firm before I had the opportunity to work directly with him. During my time there, I underwent training by watching instructional videos created by Amin and other experienced supervising attorneys. Upon establishing my own law firm, I reached out to Amin seeking prompt guidance. I found him consistently responsive and highly proficient in his advice. In my personal assessment, he exemplifies excellence in deportation defense within the DMV area, making him exceptionally qualified to serve as a mentor for aspiring attorneys in this field."

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!"
