EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE - Here's what to expect....

I've sought Farhad's expertise a few times in the past sixteen years and each time it has been a fantastic experience. The most recent was with my wife. She was from India and we felt we needed a good lawyer to help us - we turned to Farhad. Here are the top five facts that made this a great exper...ience: #1. We met him for the first time and he was upfront with his fees. We got an installment plan so we didn't have to stress over paying all his fees upfront. #2. He jotted down all relevant information when we met the first time and we never once had to worry about paperwork. All the various forms etc were filed with zero errors by his firm. That was fantastic (there are lots of paperwork and to do them ourselves would have been quite a challenge). #3. His paralegal is simply amazing. She emailed us with all the updates and answered our calls every time. We were always excited and anxious about getting updates, EAD cards etc and she was always there to help us and guide us. We were in constant communication vis email with every status upddates. For that, we are very thankful! #4. Farhad prepared us for the interview and he had an answer of any and all of our concerns. We were also aware that he screens his clients and does not take clients that are "iffy". We were aware of this reputation and that in itself gave us a peace of mind and confidence. #5. And finally, he was there for our big day and everything went off smoothly without a single hitch. We got married in June and my wife got her Greencard (and peace of mind) in October ( in Cleveland). Note: Remember to listen to his instructions and have all the documents he asks for and you might have the same exact experience as us. That was GREAT! Thank you.

Removal of Conditions...(tough case)

I recently found myself in a very tough spot with immigration. I was married to a US citizen, things didnt work out between us and we ended up splitting up. I was called for my final interview by myself this past June. Shortly after I received a letter from USCIS regarding my case. They had the inten...t of denying my conditions and I was a hair away from losing any chance of becoming a citizen. I was referred to Farhad Sethna, by a friend. Upon calling Farhad, I had one week time frame to respond to USCIS to try to save my status. I just want to state, that I have had many, many different lawyers in the past years, but none have been as helpful and professional as Farhad. Mr. Sethna had one week to put a response regarding my case. He met with me the day I have called him. He rearranged his other appointments to fit me in his schedule. After I have gather the necessary documents, Farhad knew exactly the game plan we needed. Every time I went there, I was treated with respect and courtesy. Farhad's knowledge in this field has exceeded my expectations and is far greater then anyone else I have spoken to. If there is a way of helping you out, he will find it, and execute it. His organization skills as well as his planning is top notch. I would never go back to anyone else. Farhad Sethna, knows exactly what hes doing. I would HIGHLY recommend Farhad to everyone. Today I am the happiest I have been in a long time, thanks to him. Thank you Farhad! Keep up the PHENOMENAL work you do, and I will send everyone your way!

Naturalization

Farhad Sethna and his office worked on my Naturalization application. I could not have had a better experience. I have used other Attorneys in the past for all my work/immigration needs and this was by far the best experience I've ever had. Farhad is very knowledgeable, extremely courteous and friend...ly and he and his staff are prompt and responsive. From the time we applied to the day I was naturalized, everything was smooth. Farhad kept me well informed, educated me in the process, answered my questions patiently and effectively, prepared me for the interview and even conducted a debrief after my interview! I highly recommend Farhad Sethna for all your legal immigration needs.
