Adjustment of Status Appilication

Attorney Yazdani is an honest attorney who filed my adjustment of status application and I must say he did an excellent job. He was so confident right from the beginning that I will be approved and indeed I got approved. I called him anytime and he answers all my questions. No need to book appointmen...t before talking to him. He also has a paralegal name Duvessa who is very professional and helpful. She has an extensive information and understanding of the whole process. When the attorney is not available on some few occasions, she is able to answer all my questions perfectly and even provided guidance. If you want a smooth, transparent and honest process throughout your entire immigration case, this is the go-to team.

Mr. Payam and his law firm is the Best!!!

Mr. Payam handled my case from start to finish. I had no trouble understanding the immigration process as he carefully guided me through my immigration matters. He responds promptly and is professional. I'm finally a permanent resident after 15yrs and this is all because of Mr Payam he literally made... my life and I'm so happy. He is the best lawyer in Columbus OH area, I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal assistance and not to mention his paralegal Duvessa is so sweet and always so quick to reply any questions you may have he literally have the best people working at his law firm. So Thankful to him for all he have done!

Payam Yazdani gave back my life !

I was in Removal/ Deportation process.My Immigration file was such a mess because i handled it by myself.I hired Payam Yazdani to terminate my deportation at court. I was hopeful for termination %10.I had my court hearing date in October.Unfortunately on the day of hearing, Government shutdown happen...ed and they rescheduled the hearing for the next 3 months! .Finally after 6 months waiting, on the day of hearing , judge said my deportation was terminated.I felt it was a miracle.I appretiate Payam Yazdani for all of his efforts .He is very reliable, responsible and thrustful person.I recommend him to all people who has Immigration problems either they are persian or from other countries.Payam Yazdani gave back my life !

Great Immigration Lawyer

I used Mr. Payam for my wife to become a legal permanent resident and for my mother to become a US citizen. We had good success with both cases. He was a great help and made the process very simple. Payam was very informative and walked us through each case step by step. He was a great help and I ...would recommend him to anyone with any immigration matter.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
