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

Seamless Process & Professional Service

My company used Shilpa Malik & her team to successfully obtain an H1B Visa for an employee. They were professional, fast & accessible. They made the entire process stress-free by clearly communicating expectations & deadlines. Compared to other attorneys we have worked with, they were also very a...ffordable - a great value for the quality of service we received. I highly recommend their services, and will be using them again in the near future.

Thank you Shilpa and Steven for all help.

Shilpa and SGM law group have helped me tremendously and more than I can ever thank them for. They take their time to listen to you, they have empathy and compassion. Not to mention that, Shilpa is always straight to the point and very knowledgeable. She made me feel secure along the way, that ever...ything would be fine. I have nothing but good to say about this law firm and would recommend Shilpa and her team to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything, for all that you've done for me. I am and will always be beyond grateful.

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."
