Amazing Team!

We are beyond happy with Saman and her team at the FL Immigration Law Counsel. Every team member we spoke to was nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Saman listened to our situation and was honest about how to proceed with filing paperwork based on our history. Her team quickly... got to work and sent us all the applications, instructions, and requirements needed to complete the stages. They sent numerous emails to explain the processes in detail; they comunicated to us any changes within the laws of immigration; they provided resources within the area to ease the process; and prepared us for future expectations/requirements ahead of time. What we appreciated the most about Saman and her team was the connection they made with my husband and I throughout the process that was beyond a professional one. They made us feel comfortable in speaking openly about our situation, our living, our finances, etc., It was as if we were talking to family and friends rather than just being another client. We are extremely grateful for Saman and her amazing team! I would definitely recommend. You can put your trust in FL Immigration Law Counsel.

Excellent Service

I am delighted to write this review for Saman and her legal team as they provided me and my fiancé excellent services and guidance throughout our K-1 visa process. Saman and team provided us with best in class counseling and ultimately helped us get our visa approved. Without their help we will not ...be soon to be married. Thank you Saman and team for all your guidance and support. For always being available and answering all of our questions. We wouldn’t be in this new stage without you guys! I fully recommend anyone seeking legal guidance and support to contact Florida Immigration Legal Counsel. You will not be disappointed. Forever thankful! María José and Claudio.

Thank you Saman!

After just finishing up the green card process, I found it very important to write this review and recommend Saman to anyone dealing with the immigration process. Saman and her whole staff were a pleasure to work with and professional at all times. Our case had a lot of ups and downs and took almost ...three years. Once we started working with Saman, her office was in constant communication with us and helped us every step of the way. Whenever we would receive anything, we heard from her office immediately and were told the next steps that needed to be taken. On the day of the interview, Saman was punctual and her presence was calming in a tense situation. She was very organized and met with us over Zoom and phone multiple times before our interview to make sure we had all documents and questions covered. We were well prepared and everything went smoothly. We will use her soon once it is time to apply for citizenship!

The best immigration lawyer in South Florida

What can I say about Saman and her team.....they are amazing! For years I was trying to get my dad legalized in the USA but the process was long and we kept hitting many obstacles. Then my neighbor refer me to her and the rest is history :) Although we had to start from scratch, the process was ...insanely fast and her team kept me inform of everything that was going on. Thanks to Saman the process was simple, painless and super fast! I would recommend Saman to anyone looking into getting their resident papers done......avoid the headaches and long process.
