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.

Typical charlatan lawyer

Typical charlatan Iranian lawyer. He won't even talk to you if you don't have a strong case. My calls were not returned, he was hiding all the time.

Dear Mohsen, Thanks for your comment. We are sorry that you feel unhappy with communication you made with our office. Please note that, our office is reluctant to represent cases that have no chance in outcome, or have some illegal issues involved. We try to be as transparent as possible and do not waste people's time and effort. Apparently you did not even consulted with us and your judgment is based on unreturned calls. Hope you have found another attorney who could represent your case.

Great Experience

It’s been a year that I started applying for asylum and I got a great news that I got approved. I was down when I got the intend to deny notice. But I didn’t give up. He and his assistant helped me to gather documents to prove my case. He is just so friendly, emailing me back and forth to make sure e...verything went right. He is great one if you need an attorney in asylum or immigration.

Client Rating

Mr. Shain Fallah is a multilingual lawyer who is professional and knowledgeable. My experience with Lawyer Shahin Fallah was more than helpful with me on my nephew’s case. He took his time answering all my questions. I was able to ask him anything and everything regarding my nephew’s visa/ immigratio...n situation and Mr. Fallah was not only able to guide me, but he was prompt and extremely knowledgeable. He truly wants to help you and answer every question you have. I highly recommend Shain Fallah as he is a top-tier attorney who fights hard for his clients. Don't hesitate calling him. You won't be disappointed in the slightest.

"Shahin is part of a small community of attorneys that practice in international arbitration. His skill in handling cases under the UNCITRAL rules, or at ICC, ICSID, LCIA, SIAC, PCA, or ICDR is well known among this small community. 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. I endorse this lawyer."
