Highly Recommend

We are very pleased we chose Shirin to work with us on our change of status immigration issue. We interviewed other immigration attorneys but it was quickly evident that Shirin was the one we needed to go with. Shirin is highly professional, very knowledgeable, non-judgmental and a pleasure to wor...k with. Not having gone through anything like this before, it was important to us that we received exceptional communication and clear information about our case and what we needed to do and what we could expect. Shirin delivered in all these areas. Our case was approved and closed after only four months. Go with Shirin you will be happy you did.

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.

Praiseworthy

Attorney Shirin organized, prepared, and filed paper works for our change in visa status. Despite the language barrier, she is understanding and was able to overcome that and work with us efficiently. She is responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. We greatly appreciate the progress update on... our case. The results we got were exactly what we wanted. It was a pleasure working with her.

Excellent Service

Thanks to Attorney James, my Labor Certification, I-140 and I-485 adjustment of status to permanent residence were all approved within 2 years without any RFE's. Attorney James ensured that every foreseeable required document(s) was in place to present a strong case on my behalf, and avoid delays tha...t could stem from RFE's. She also cordially kept me informed of the status of my case, and also provided resources in case I wanted more information. It truly was a pleasure having Attorney James and her associates represent me.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
