Do not hire.

Terrible attorney- does not communite with her clients. Misses appointments and is not prepared for trial

Definitely recommended

I am working with Taghavi Immigration Law for my J1 visa status, O1 application and green card application. They have been always there for me from the beginning, and this was something I didn't experience with my past lawyer. They are caring and supporting where this immediately builds trust, and kn...owing that I am in safe hands and with people that will do the most and whats best for me is so comforting. Even though my situation is incredibly complicated, they are always assuring and are not backing down from putting their 100% effort. I would definitely recommend working with them to anyone.

Amazing Work

I had the pleasure of working with Taghavi Immigration Law recently, and I must say, their professionalism and decency exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this firm. Especially Laura, she was really kind and patient answering all of my questions from the beginning all the way through to the ...end. Thank you for your outstanding work!

H1B Visa

My experience working with Taghavi Immigration Law was beyond a sigh of relief. I remember how hopeless my case seemed at one point; I did not have a clear path forward, and my employer’s attempt to secure a H1B visa was coming to an impasse. We had reached out to immigration as well as corporate law...yers for a solution, and none of those options panned out. It was not until my first meeting with Taghavi Immigration Law, mainly the principal attorney, Soulmaz Taghavi, that things became more optimistic. They immediately saw a clear path forward, and they knew exactly what to do and how to approach my case. I am a Christian, so I attribute this moment to the mighty grace and power of our savior Jesus Christ! Following our first meeting with the principal Attorney, Soulmaz Taghavi, things started to fall into place, and before we knew it, my H1B was approved against all odds. I am so grateful for their work, and above all, their genuine determination to help me fight for my future and my American dream!

I can attest to great success that we've had in these cases and I'm impressed with the good team that Soulmaz has put together in her firm.
