Excellent work

I want to give a special thank you to Amna and Belkis for always being available and supportive through my immigration process. The Shirazi team was amazing and great to work with. Amna and her team were always available when I had doubts or questions. They made the process easy and always explaine...d everything thoroughly. Very professional and transparent. Throughout this process I felt comfortable and trusted with their guidance. My case was a bit complicated, but I always felt I had nothing to worry about due to the wonderful team, work ethic and knowledge they all have. My case was a success. I am grateful and happy. Thank you, Shirazi Immigration Law!

Excellent Lawyer- Highly recommended

Mrs. Shirazi is fantastic ! She is an excellent lawyer who really goes above and beyond for her clients! She is simply the best ! We hired her all the way from NY after a law firm recommended her for our immigration case and she was the best choice ever ! The best lawyer I personally ever worked ...with! She and her team are very responsive , patient, and hardworking! We appreciate all their efforts ! Mrs. Shirazi herself is very knowledgeable , professional, ethical, honest, responsible, and caring. From our first meeting, she explained everything in terms we could easily understand and answered all our inquiries. She stayed on top of our legal matter in an incredible way. We felt like a family member is handling our case and not an attorney that we just hired! The communication with Mrs. Shirazi and her team was great and it was via phone calls, emails, zoom and Skype! They were very responsive when we had any question. Also, our case was time sensitive and Mrs. Shirazi and her team did a great job in a short period of time! They were also remarkably following up on the case - making all the necessary phone calls and exerting all efforts to move our case quickly ! My family and I are extremely grateful and we couldn’t be any happier. I highly recommend Shirazi Immigration Law for any immigration case and I assure you , you will be grateful!

Highly Recommend!

We recommend Shirazi Law Firm, they took on my husband's case who was been held by ICE and had an order of deportation. Ms. Shirazi and her team kept me updated every step of the way. It was an emotional process and they understood what my family was going through. She and her staff worked to get him... home and now he has a work permit!! Ms. Shirazi is now working on getting my husband his green card and I have every confidence that she will! If you need an immigration attorney who knows, understands, and has years of experience than you need to look no further. We strongly recommend Shirazi Immigration Law.

I guess we got unlucky

I went this this law firm when things became desperate for my husband’s situation. They said they could handle it. They took $4500 (without any installments, just one time payment) from us in 2018 and guaranteed that because we had an approved i30, that our motion would be approved and we could adjus...t my husband’s status. Well, motion was apparently denied in June of 2020. We didn’t find out anything till October when my husband himself checked with the court. Not sure if we are just unlucky because everyone’s reviews seem so good. But this lawyer basically acted like there’s nothing she can do and we are a nuisance . She said we’d have to gather another I believe $9000 for some waiver that she’s not even sure of. We were hopeful that the new administration would make things easier. Three years later and my husband is in an even worse spot than before. We have cried so much, I’ve been suicidal and basically just given up and leaving things to God. I don’t even bother calling or emailing them anymore because the responses are never good. Good luck to everyone.

Replied last October 04, 2021

Hello, we have done an extensive audit of our files and we do not have a client named "Amma", nor do we charge 4500 for anything. I also have no idea what you are talking about extra fees for 9k (another fee we usually do not quote). I do not believe this is an authentic review and therefore I will flag it as inappropriate. Unless you can tell us your real name and the exact issues we were helping you with "allegedly", please take down this review as it is clearly false. We take these reviews seriously as they help our clients learn more about our firm. I have a suspicion about who you are (other counsel who failed his client), but please reveal your actual name and what we were hired to do for the amounts you named so we can address these allegations that are clearly false. Kind Regards, amna

Dream Team

There is not enough words to describe how grateful I am to Shirazi. From the get go they believed in our case, they gave us hope when things seems so dreadful. Although the process was a long one, my husband and I but more importantly the two beautiful children we share is finally reunited, living an...d loving under one roof. This would not have been possible without the amazing team. Special thanks to Belkis for answering my million questions and in a timely manner. They are the way to go. Trust them and their process. You guys are just outright amazing Keep doing what you all do, because there is many families out there that need you guys fighting for their family the same way you fought for mines. Love always The Gillett Family
