Professional and ready to answer all questions

Ms. Nisha Karnani was professional and ready to answer all of our questions throughout our permanent residency application process. She delivered everything that we have discussed during our initial meeting and our case was approved with her help. I can only recommend her and her team.

Helped with H-1B issue

We are very grateful for attorney Nisha Karnani and her assistant Lianne for helping me with my case. From the beginning of our first conversation Mrs. Karnani was empathetic, knowledgeable and very responsive when we had questions. She was extremely patient and approachable for even the smallest que...stions. She went above and beyond in trying to help us with our case. I’m grateful that I am able to be here united with my family because of their great work. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help with their immigration case.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
