Amazing lawyer

Yalda was very prompt, empathetic and thorough. She helped me prepare my packet in a timely manner and guided me through every step. I would 100% recommend her.

The lawyer you want on your side

I cannot recommend Yalda highly enough - she truly deserves every one of these five stars. From our very first consultation, her deep knowledge of immigration law was evident, but what set her apart was her incredibly patient and professional approach to understanding my unique situation. She took th...e time to really listen to my concerns, remained open-minded about different strategies, and demonstrated remarkable creativity in crafting solutions I hadn't even considered. Throughout the entire process, Yalda worked collaboratively with me to build the strongest possible case, explaining each step clearly and ensuring I felt confident about our approach. Her dedication to maximizing my chances of success was obvious in every interaction, and her genuine care for my outcome made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and hopeful. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who combines expertise with exceptional client service, Yalda is the lawyer you want on your side.

A Smooth Path to Success: Outstanding Immigration Assistance

Yalda demonstrated exceptional expertise in handling my application. She responded to all my questions clearly and provided reassurance throughout the process. Her efficiency and quick turnaround time in preparing the paperwork were truly impressive. In the end, my status was approved, and I am extre...mely grateful for her outstanding work.

A perfect EB-1A Application

Yalda was an integral part to the preparation of my EB-1A visa. As of the time of writing, the most important step of the I-140 Petition has recently been approved, which is mostly in thanks to Yalda's work and expertise. Though my area of ability is more unusual than most (classical ballet), Yalda r...eally took the time to get to know about what it is that I do, and the universe that I work in. Over the course of editing the letters of support from various people in the artistic world, it was clear that with each one, she was learning more and more about my profession, and then applying this knowledge with each subsequent aspect of the application that we prepared. This culminated in the monster of a cover letter that she prepared, which perfectly summarized all 317 pages of the total application, and clearly created a very compelling case. Over the period of time that we were preparing the application, we met virtually several times, and each time it was clear that she really takes an personal interest in each of her clients, and truly cares about the outcome. I would strongly encourage people to utilize Yalda's services, as I guarantee that they will be very pleased.

B1/B2, employment based green card

I recently had a consultation with Ms Hajavi, and I am thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and expertise. From the start, she took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, thoughtful advice. She explained the legal options available to me in a way easy to understand. Ms Hajavi ...was patient and answered all of my questions, leaving me confident about the next step. Overall, I would highly recommend Ms Hajavi for anyone seeking clear, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal guidance.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
