Att. Amit Dehra is a blessing!!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Att. Amit Dehra for taking my case for VAWA petition. In all honesty, I was at my very last breath.. the edge of the cliff... the end of the rope when I met him. When it comes to legal matters, we need professionalism, meticulousness and progress in timely m...anner and I found all these while working with Att. Amit. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. His expertise, knowledge and understanding of immigration law helped me a great deal. He guided me through every step, keeping me informed on what to expect realistically. He was always prompt with his replies to my questions and doubts. Mr. Amit is a very good listener and has the patience to hear you out. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a case. My opinion was valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Att. Amit Dehra fought hard for me and he went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I will always be grateful to Att. Amit and his paralegal Keidy Shah for everything they did for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Amit Dehra as an immigration attorney because he is just THE BEST.

Immigration attorney

Worst attorney i ever met. He charged me $145 for 2 mins advice. Very professional and no sympathy for anyone. He just advised me same things that i could have found on immigration website.

Dear MN: I understand that this is not the answer you were looking for. But, I would rather tell the facts and law on your face, instead of sugar coating and telling something which can not be done. You are welcome to call me or e-mail to discuss anything which wasn’t. I did ask you if you have any more questions – and you said no, that was it. I do feel bad for how you were misled by people assisting you. Thank you.

"I fully endorse Amit's legal work. Amit's knowledge of all aspects of both Non-Immigrant and Immigrant Employment-based Visas is only a starting point. Amit's true forte is successfully crafting smart, creative and practical "out of the box" strategies which are required more and more in the current D.H.S. environment. Obviously, most Immigration Attorneys in the field have a standard knoweldge base; however, it is a relatively rare few of these Attorneys who can manage the intricacies of this practice and yet present this process in a clear concise format to clients. This employment-based knowledge has been especially valuable to me in my extensive Immigration Court practice. These accolades are supported by many client testimonials, as well as my own direct experience with Amit. Finally, all of this is coupled with Amit's absolutely positive attitude."

"I wholeheartedly endorse Amit's work - he's a terrific immigration lawyer. I recently asked him to shepherd a client through an adjustment of status interview at the USCIS office in Tampa, and the client reported to me afterwards that Amit was delightful to work with, and that he was extremely knowledge about the Tampa office's personnel and procedures."
