Excellent experience

I had an excellent experience with attorney James and DehraMiotke law firm and highly recommend their services. From the very beginning, she and the team demonstrated a strong commitment to professionalism, responsiveness, and client care. They took the time to understand my situation in detail and ...treated my case with a truly personal approach. What stood out most was their deep and thorough knowledge of immigration law. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and all legal requirements were addressed with precision and care. The firm prepared my case meticulously, ensuring that every document, form, and supporting evidence fully complied with the applicable legal standards. Their attention to detail, strategic guidance, and dedication provided a great sense of confidence throughout the process. It was clear that they are highly experienced and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. I am extremely satisfied with the level of service and expertise I received and would not hesitate to recommend attorney James and this firm to anyone seeking reputable and capable immigration legal representation.

Professinality At Its Best!

Shirin has been very DEDICATED to my immigration case from the beginning to the end. As I had issues with lawyers before, it was hard for me to trust another but, as we worked together through filing the paperwork and with her providing me all the information without leaving anything out, I began to ...feel comfortable and confident in her work and it provided me with less stress and a worry-free mind. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the immigration processes and goes above and beyond for her clients, for example; with an issue that caused for initial evidence multiple times, Shirin made all the phone calls, sent out all the pages of letters, and prepared and LARGE booklet to send out to USCIS to resolve the issue. With her professionalism, the issue was resolved in a timely manner. She has a great team of assistants with her as well (Alma), which is also working around the clock with shirin to ensure the cases are processing correctly. Working with Shirin, you don't have to worry about anything, just sit back, relax, and TRUST that all of your immigration needs are in GREAT hands. I will most definitely return with all of my USCIS needs, and will also recommend her to my family and friends. Thank You so much for everything Shirin.

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.

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.
