CURE & COMFORT

Farhad helped me on my application for naturalization. He initially had helped me with my application for green card back in 2013. Like then, Farhad now too was extremely (a) professional, (b) rigorous, (c) organized, and, (d) receptive/prompt. I use the words, "cure and comfort" in the title because... like in the case of a physician, I expect attorneys to be able to cure (or in most cases, treat) AND even more importantly, comfort/console when needed. Farhad is very firm and he tells you like it is. That said, he also knows how to calm your nerves when he believes that's most needed. Having both those qualities and knowing when best to utilize them makes Farhad a pretty unique person. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge his assistant, Elizabeth Ryan. She too was very helpful. She too like Farhad always listened, was always receptive and prompt when it came to addressing any and all of my concerns. Thanks, Farhad. I appreciate your help both in terms of the green card 5 years ago and now with citizenship.

Excellent & Knowledgable

After being worried that my PR will be lost, I had approached my attorney, Mr. Farhad Setha, who was able to resolve the issue and promptly get back my PR. His legal advice is on point and his knowledge on immigration law is impeccable. He made me feel extremely comfortable from the start and was ver...y confident with his approach. I would highly recommend using his office and most defintely Mr. Sethna himself for any immigration issues and/or concerns.

Top Notch!

Mr Sethna will put you at ease. He is very confident in his knowledge, always aware of developments and changes in immigration laws, and extremely well-organized. His team is highly professional and communicative. It was a pleasure dealing with a top notch Attorney who provides a quality service. I f...elt well prepared and my case went very smoothly without unexpected delays.

I-140 application

I worked with Mr. Sethna for filing my I-140 application in EB1a and EB2 (NIW) category. It is important to point out that I had consulted several immigration lawyers before I hired Mr. Sethna. After reviewing my CV Mr. Sethna suggested to file my application in EB1 category. He was the only attorney... out of several that I consulted to see the merits of the CV and how can I utilize it in my favor. My application in EB1 category was approved recently. Had I not hired Mr. Sethna who provided me with an impartial advice, I will probably have been waiting for years to get my I-140 approved! The reason why I give this example is because Mr. Sethna's approach to reviewing and utilizing the strengths of your case is very unique and at a personal level. Unlike many other attorneys, he works with you to make a very strong case. He will give you a fair advice regarding your case. Truly, he had more confidence in my application than I myself did! It definitely worked in my favor. Additionally, Mr. Sethna and his secretary Elina were very prompt in answering all my questions (which I had way too many) and were always available to help. He had strong work ethics and is very approachable. I am extremely thankful to him for his help and I will strongly recommend him to candidates looking for a trustworthy and reliable immigration lawyer.
