Best attorney in Tampa

Shirin has been extremely helpful in handling my immigration case from Day 1. She answered my questions that I had prior to the first consultation (most lawyers do not), she was extremely informative on the subject and options during the first consult and thereafter as well. She provided all the cor...rect answers which other lawyers in Tampa had failed to provide me and we were able to go with the correct approach in handling this particular case which was exactly the right choice that had to be made. She promptly followed up with USCIS a couple times as needed due to an error on their end and provided me with the resolution that was required. Quite a few things make her really stand out compared to other lawyers that I had consulted with: She is very knowledgeable on the subject and provided me with the best possible route for my situation (other lawyers in Tampa had provided me wrong information glad I used Shirin's services), is very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls, is very well organized and detail oriented. I shall be using her services again if need be- in the future and I highly recommend Shirin, which I did to a friend and he is currently quite happy with the law firm's service on his case as well. Thank you for your help Shirin.

The BEST Immigration Lawyer

I started with Shirin in 2015 whilst researching my options to gain approval to work in America. Having no tertiary education narrowed my options considerably, but this is where Shirin's professional experience and broad knowledge of the American Immigration requirements had her stand out, head and... shoulders above any other Immigration Attorney I spoke with. I have just completed my 3rd Immigration cycle with Shirin and am now American Resident, able to work, build a business and enjoy the fruits of this great country. I followed Shirin's direction through through every step of the legal system. Shirin made what appeared to be an unconfrontable mine field of legal jargon seem effortless and we kicked a goal at every post. If you are looking for an Immigration Attorney, you have found the best right here with Shirin. Shirin, thank you for your help, professionalism and above all, the personal care you delivered through this whole cycle. Best Wishes Tony

Waiver approved

Shirin was the most professional, patient, and thorough lawyer. We had two previous lawyers before Shirin and was denied. We had given up hope. Shirin prepared a detailed, very detailed Waiver. It took a lot of work, time, attention to detail. She worked weekends, and always accommodated our schedule...s. We could not have gotten an approval without Shirin’s expertise, loyalty to our case, and experience with immigration. I thank you, my wife thank you, my family thank you. God bless you!

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.
