Shilpa Malik is an amazingly competent, knowledgeable, thorough, experienced and client focused lawyer who is obsessed with the success of her clients. We came to Shilpa after having contacted a previous attorney in October 2017 and he still haven't come back to us. We are relatively small busines...s that needed to expand our business in the US. After a free consultation, Shilpa developed a strategy and continue to provide very effective leadership that eventually led to the achievement of the desired outcome. Her strategic insights and competence came to bear after we receive an RFE from USCIS. She provided very effective and reassuring counseling and further developed an even more comprehensive strategy with very superior execution. Her fees are super affordable and reasonable given the investment we made on the project. We will strongly and positive recommend Shilpa Malik for all your immigration cases!

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.

Thru thick and thin

With many bumps along the way Shilpa stood by me and kept me positive thru the long process of getting my green card. There is no way I could have completed this without her assistance. When I had my interview at the embassy the immigration officer even commented how organized my paper work was. Shi...lpa was by my side every step of the way even though we are at opposite ends of the world. She made me feel like I was a priority and never a hassle. Thank you Steven and Shilpa for your dedication to my case!

Best immigration lawyer in town

I am pleased to write this review to express how pleased I am with that Attorney Shilpa Malik was able to represent me in my VAWA immigration case. I was in a terrible situation with my immigration status and I was searching for the best lawyer in town. From our initial consultation, she told me that... my VAWA case was not going to be easy but that she would do everything in her power to obtain a positive outcome. Her diligence and knowledge of the law made me feel very comfortable knowing she was going to represent me. Attorney Shilpa Malik is not your typical lawyer. She is a down to earth smart and professional person who cares about her clients and gets the job done. My VAWA immigration case was approved without even going for an interview. It doesn't get better than that. I would highly recommend Shilpa Malik. She responded quickly to my need for legal counsel and kept me informed at all times. I also want to mention that her assistant Steve is efficient, caring and supportive. Many, many thanks to both of you!

Amazing and Professional

I wanted to let anyone who has an immigration issue know that Ms Shilpa Malik is an outstanding and dedicated lawyer who goes above and beyond her fiduciary duties as a lawyer. My husband had to have his work permit renewed which was expiring and with all the recent changes to the immigration law, c...oupled with terrible experiences from so called" immigration experts" in the past, we were a bit apprehensive when we were referred to Ms Malik. Had the referral not been from a very reliable and respected source, my family would have not been introduced to this gracious and compassionate professional. In dealing with Ms Malik from day one we felt comfortable, she took the time to explain in details every step of the process including time frames and was always a phone call away to answer any questions or concerns we had . My husband recently received his work permit in the time frame that was discussed. Thank you again Ms Malik , keep up the great work.

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."
