SHIRIN GETS THE PRODUCT!

I 100% recommend Shirin. Not only do I strongly recommend her, I would encourage anyone trying to get a visa or green card for America to use a lawyer. Most try and do it themselves, which ends up costing more $ and not always getting the product. If you saw what Shirin had to put together to first g...et my husband's visa, then a renewal visa, then the green card, you'd want to hire her. She came with us for the interviewing progress. She directed and was on top of it every step of the way. And she really, really knows the law inside and out & how to handle immigration points. Even when it seems like there's no way it could be done. Shirin made it easy, not at all stressful or complex. She is fun to talk to, which I think is important when dealing with the personal matters you need to for immigration. I highly recommend hiring her!!

Status Adjustement

I Was a former Student-athlete that lost my F-1 status after a couple of Car accident stopped my playing days short. When my fiancée and I decided that we would get married, a friend of our reffered us to Attorney James. After our primary consultation, it was clear that she was the right person for o...ur case. She is very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and concerns we had regarding my status adjustment. She and her assistant were very hands on with us, making sure we were up to date with the list of ducuments we had to gather. When our interview came, she was right there with us until our case got approved. She definitely nothing short of an Amazing attorney. We are very thankful and fortunate to have had her help us.

Excellent professionalism and dedication

I got divorced while my I-751 was pending. USCIS requested more evidence to proof that my marriage was bona fide. I became very worried and did not know what to do because my case was really difficult. God sent me to Ms. James, and from my first consultation I became confident that she would help me.... Ms James is very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, organized and very attentive to details. She listens carefully to my problems and makes sure that every word was supported with evidence. She explained to me the process I was about to go through and what to expect. She returns calls and replies to emails in a quick manner. She even met with me on the weekend and after office hours for discussions; I could tell that she was very passionate about her clients. She submitted my case on April 17, 2017, and my 10 year green card was approved on May 26, 2017. I would strongly recommend Ms. Shirin James to anyone who needs help with the immigration process.

Professional, Good advisor

Shirin has helped us with our immigration matters since 2011 including H1B, I140, renewals, EAD etc. She is through professional and very helpful. Before traveling abroad, she has provided good advise about visa and immigration needs. When things don't go as expected as sometimes happens, she does re...gular follow up with relevant departments and that's where you know if you're dealing with right attorney!
