Excellent - helped me ace green card interview

I had a 30 minute phone consultation with her for a very reasonable price (compared to Murthy.com and such.) She was very professional and had thoroughly reviewed the documents I had sent before the consultation. I had so many doubts related to my case before talking to her but felt very at ease afte...r talking and was well prepped to attend GC interview. She seems reasonable and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration consultation.

Excellent Service and extremely responsive

I have consulted so many law firm group before I have appointed SGM Law Group for my immigration case but none of other law firm gave me clear explanation on my H1B immigration situation, the way Shilpa Malik explain me my case situation on first consultation with her made me feel like a very importa...nt client to her, she explained me all pros and cons of my Immigration situation, she did study my case very well before consultation and that made me feel really overwhelmed. Best part is that communications were in timely & clear with her. Personal attention and handling of my H1B case helped me to maintain my peace of mind. She is really accurate on paperwork. At the end I am glad that my all H1B immigration issue has been resolved with USCIS and I don't have words to say thanks to Shilpa Malik and her Law group. I am very pleased with service I have received from Shilpa Malik ( SGM Law Group), In future if any one needs help to solve immigration issue I will highly recommend this law firm to them.

Dear Sonia: We are sorry to see that you feel this way. We prefer not to discuss any client's case on a public forum due to attorney client confidentiality but please note client satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. Also, please note, the grant of a B-2 (tourist) visa by a Consular Officer is always discretionary and is based on several factors that are beyond an Attorney or applicant's control. Please contact our office at 954-604-6406 and we will do our best to address your concerns. SGM Law Group PLLC

Excellent Experience

Working with Ms. Malik has been a pleasure. She is extremely professional and well versed in what she does. I met Shilpa at a time when I had no hope and was on the verge of giving up. Her attention to details coupled with her experience has been invaluable to my case. The outcome was favorable a...nd I owe it all to her. Saying Thank you does not begin to explain the gratitude I feel towards Shilpa and her team.

Greencard Lottery Visa

I was selected in the green card lottery in 2015 and contacted Shilpa through her website. I was very quickly contacted back by her, and then attended a free consultation in her office for my case. Her entire firm was very professional and made the whole process of the application very easy, right do...wn to the Immigration interview which Shilpa attended with me. I now have my green card thanks to Shilpa and her team. Thank you.

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."
