Amin Ganjalizadeh's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"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!"
"Attorney Ganjalizadeh is very knowledgable! I endorse him!"
"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."
"Mr. Amin Ganjalizadeh is a fantastic lawyer. He is proficient and sharp in the details of immigration law, along with a genuine concern for the best needs of his clients. He is hardworking, prompt and meticulous. 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."
"I highly endorse Amin as a competent attorney in the Immigration field of law. I have had the pleasure of working with Amin on various non-profit pursuits and have collaborated with Amin to address certain client issues. Amin's work goes above and beyond what other lawyers do and his consistent reliability and professionalism truly set him apart."
"I've consulted with Amin about various Immigration issues and he has always followed up with a thorough response very quickly. Amin is well spoken and has a very professional demeanor but also has a great way of putting people at ease in difficult situations. I highly recommend consulting with him."
"Amin is one of the most brightest, competent, and capable lawyers, and individual, that I have had the fortune of knowing and working with. He will undoubtedly spend every ounce of his effort to achieve the best possible result for his clients, and has a track record to prove so. If you need legal guidance through the stormy waters of the immigration process, look no further than Amin."
"Having worked with him on many complicated immigration cases, I've found attorney Ganjalizadeh's energy and creativity to be truly outstanding, inspirational even. I highly endorse Mr. Ganjalizadeh without any reservations whatsoever."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am very fortunate to have met Amin Ganjalizadeh through AILA. Amin is highly knowledgeable in immigration law and never hesitates to share his knowledge and expertise with me and other fellow members."
