Outstanding assistance in immigration issues

I required a work visa (H1b) in a very short time period, relocating from the Midwest to Florida. Shilpa filed all the paper work, obtained necessary documents that I could not procure, etc. and guided me through the entire process, keeping both me and my employer informed every step we took. She mad...e a very difficult process appear straight-forward. In addition, I think her services are financially very reasonable. I am so happy with her help that I have asked her to help me with my next immigration issues.

Excellent and compassionate lawyer

When we started the application process, I knew I would have a certain "feeling" about the lawyer I would choose. I had contacted a number of lawyers before finding Shilpa. Our situation was particular and I was concerned about the application for permanent residence status fitting in a certain timel...ine. During her gracious free phone consultation I immediately knew she was the lawyer we had been searching for. In just a few minutes she inspired trust, confidence, and peace of mind about our situation, where other lawyers were pessimistic, cold, or condescending. She skillfully exhibited professionalism and compassion in all of our exchanges and I knew right away she would make the positive difference in our emigration and thus, life plans. Her fees were extremely reasonable and she even flew across the country for our immigration interview for a fee that seemed to only cover costs, making it evident that she honestly cared about our situation and application to adjust resident status. She always responded promptly to my questions and was very clear about all aspects of the application process. I was blown away by how smoothly and swiftly the application was processed, thanks to Shilpa's clarity and guidance. I couldn't imagine a better experience and am so grateful to Shilpa for taking what I imagined to be a near-impossible situation and making it manageable, successful, and completely affordable.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly recommend Shilpa Malik to any person (client or fellow attorney) with an immigration law issue. Shilpa assisted me with a challenging immigration law matter, including a discretionary issue that could have gone either way, depending upon how it was handled. She resolved the matter successfully and showed great mastery of the relevant laws and issues, including the ones that weren't apparent from the face of the regulations, but require deep hands on experience to understand. In addition to this, she treated me at all times the way a client or colleague would wanted to be treated. She responded promptly to questions, communicated any limitations on her schedule effectively, and was well-prepared for conference calls."
