Great service

I recommend The Law Office of Moona Shakil to everyone who is looking for an attorney that is professional, kind, available, and truly cares for her clients. Moona helped me with a very complex immigration case that at times seemed impossible to solve. She was honest from the beginning and explained ...to me every possible outcome, the obstacles, and every step that I had to take to submit the I-601A, Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver. She kept me informed during the entire process and she helped me gather and send the dozens of documents that I was asked to submit and she gave me advice whenever I had plans to do something that could have potentially endangered the case and she showed me a better way to proceed, according to her vast experience and knowledge. In the end, my waiver was granted, and thanks to that, I could obtain my green card. I will forever be grateful for this law firm and will continue to seek its assistance in the future shall I need it.

Moona Shakil and her team are simply the best!

Ms. Shakil and her team are outstanding professionals and have profound understanding of their job. My spouse and I had a great experience all the way from K-1 visa to Green Card. Ms. Shakil is not only extremely reliable and very talented attorney but also is a very nice person which is important f...or client-attorney relationship. Whenever I needed her help or simply had a question Ms. Shakil and her team were always there to help me.This is exactly why I am going to continue my path to citizenship with Ms. Shakil in the future. Thank you Moona.

Best immigration lawyer handsdown

In a nutshell, Moona has been a blessing. I came to the US a few years back, and like with any other aspiring immigrant, there are a lot of steps involved in order to become legalized and stay and work in the country. From the very start, I have used Moona's services, and she is simply exemplary. A f...ew points that I will highlight below which I believe are unique to her alone and no other immigration attorney: 1) She is always quick to respond to your emails (within 48 hours) 2) You call her, she picks up. If she does not pick up, she calls you back 3) She discusses your case at length with you and helps you evaluate all possible options. She is a true team player who takes your issue as her's and helps you solve it. 4) She is very prompt with everything and I have never felt the need to go and visit her personally to discuss my case and have it processed. From 1500 miles away, she has helped me with my immigration process over the phone and via email, and everything has went smoothly due to her expertise and assistance. I highly recommend every ambitious immigrant to hire her for their immigration needs. She is professional, courteous, prompt, and above all, she gets the job done.

Amazing

Moona is a great lawyer that is available to answer your questions and make you feel that everything is ok. She did the immigration visa for my wife and the whole process was a breeze. Will definitely recommended to anyone for her services.

Made the green card process a breeze

My husband was in the US from Canada on a TN visa, and we went to Moona to help us with the process of getting a Green Card and transitioning from a non-permanent residency to a permanent one. When my husband and I initially got engaged, we were worried about his status on a non-permanent visa with t...he intent of staying, so I found her via Yelp, and she was immediately very responsive to emails, telling us that we were fine and to contact her when we actually got married. After getting married, we had an initial consultation which was very informative, and we agreed to start the paperwork with Moona. After that, everything was very easy- we filled out minimal amounts of paperwork and supplied her with all of our necessary documentation. When that was finished, we met with her to go over the final paperwork to submit it. Once we received our scheduled interview appointment, we met with her again to go over what would be asked, what to bring, etc. Between our first meeting and getting the green card in the mail, I think it was about 6-7 months. The entire process was entirely non-stressful and easy because of Moona, and we are forever grateful!
