Attention to Detail (Best Immigration Lawyer)

I have spend many years with lawyers, but none like Mr. Shabani, his attention to detail, his kindness, and organizational skills really gave me confidence, our case was very serious, we were faced with a NOID, Met attorney and he immediately got to work, and we were approved 30 days after he sent a ...detailed response/rebuttal to USCIS. No Question if you looking for an attorney to really dive in and do the work the right way. CHOOSE Mr. Shabani, I have now retained him for all future affairs.. I wish I could give him a 10 stars...

Very professional and responsive!

I was involved in a major car accident on January 28, 2021. I felt lost because I saw that no one out there was really wanting to meet up with me during these covid times and genuinely help me out. My cousin recommended Mr. Shabani and he has been nothing but amazing. My experience with him has been ...beyond what I expected. We have just closed my case as I am fully healed and I could not be more satisfied with his work. I would 100% recommend him as an attorney/lawyer for anyone who is looking out there. Thank you Mr. Shabani

Small Claim Settlement

Mr. Shabani was a great help with getting what I owed to a collections agency down a great amount and also made it to where I only had to pay 3 payments! He completely surpassed what I thought could be done and would definitely use him again should the need arise!

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.
