This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Awful experience

I recently engaged the services of Mr.Fallah for legal representation, but unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. It is with regret that I feel compelled to share my observations regarding certain limitations that I encountered during our professional engagement. First and for...emost, I found he lacked the depth of experience and knowledge that I had hoped for in handling my case. This became evident through various instances where I encountered uncertainties or received insufficient guidance on critical matters. Furthermore, effective communication proved to be a challenge due to language barriers. While I understand that proficiency in English can vary, it impacted our ability to have clear and precise discussions, leading to potential misunderstandings. Moreover, I was disappointed to discover that the office location where Mr.Fallah operated appeared upscale and impressive, which initially fostered a sense of confidence. However, as I engaged further, it became apparent that this was a deceptive tactic that did not align with the level of service provided. Overall, my experience with Mr.Fallah was regrettable, primarily due to the limitations I encountered. I sincerely hope this feedback encourages the lawyer to invest in further developing their expertise and communication skills to better serve future clients.

Professional, persistence, responsiveness and trustworthy

The process of selecting a skilled and professional immigration attorney can be a very daunting task. The International Law Office of Fallah was able to capture precisely what I had envisioned. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Shahin Fallah on my EB2 (NIW) petition, and I admire his professiona...lism and perseverance in the way he handled my case. He is very knowledgeable about how to highlight my scientific achievements and how to present the case in the strongest way possible. He guided me through the process. I think Dr. Fallah’s level of attention, responsiveness, and care make him an invaluable part of his success. I give him five stars and I would highly recommend his firm. - Former NIW client from the United Kingdom.

Always Available!

Mr. Fallah has been my lawyer for a family-based Green Card application during the past year. From my point of view, what distinguishes Mr. Fallah is his dedication to his clients; whenever I called him for consultancy, he was right there to assist me! Although my immigration case was pretty straig...htforward, due to the pandemic and my unavoidable change of address, there were situations that I could not have managed properly if it had not been for Mr. Fallah's insightful guidance. My request for permanent residency got approved by USCIS a few days ago. Thank you very much Mr. Fallah!

As an arbitrator myself, I have personally been told by my colleagues that he is an excellent attorney to have appear before you. In this small community, that reputation is priceless.
