You are in good hands

We hired Mr. Farhad Sethna for our green card application. He is a professional and a very pleasant person. His assistant Elina is alway available, polite, smily and friendly. The office does everything in a timely manner. All our questions were answered. The information we received was always... accurate. If we had to do it all over again we will use the service of Farhad Sethna again!

I highly recommend Mr. Sethna

Mr. Sethna took our complicated case to assist us in obtaining custody and a green card for a minor child. He was helpful, professional and extremely compassionate. Most importantly, he got the job done! Our family is complete because of his exceptional skill as an immigration attorney.

Made getting green card a smooth and stress-free process

He helped me get my spouse a marriage-related green card and made the process smooth and easy. He gave us a clear list of documents we needed, organized everything, prepped us for the interview, and came to it with us. Along the way, he filled out requests for a temporary work permit and something al...lowing my spouse to travel. We didn't end up needing those though because thanks to Mr. Sethna's help, the whole process took <5 months. Highly recommend.

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!

great help and advice

Farhad was very helpful with all of my questions about Non compete clause, where to look and other case outcomes. He also got right back to me with all the answers I needed about a small business contract.
