From 1991 to 1996, I worked for a law firm in Akron. In May 1996, I started my own practice. In 2007, I moved to my own office in Akron, and am now in Cuyahoga Falls. Along the way, I have been privileged to represent a diverse and wonderful group of clients, ranging from individual students to huge multi-billion dollar corporations and their employees. Thanks to my growing practice, I have my very own dedicated staff, who deserve much credit for getting your cases processed quickly, efficiently, and accurately!

I am also a private pilot, and like any good pilot, I want to study my maps, chart my course, and anticipate alternatives if bad weather approaches. Flying is like immigration – we have to check our legal theory, file the right applications and deal with unforeseen problems! My goal is to get you – my immigration passenger – to your destination safely and quickly! I hope that together we have a great flight. Buckle up and let’s go!

Fantastic office
Attorney Sethna’s team has provided excellent services when needed the most. First they helped renew my Permanent Residency and most recently my successful application to become a citizen. Extremely pleased with their help and expertise, and fully recommend their services.

Essential service for navigating immigration
I have used several immigration lawyers over the past few years and Mr. Sethna's firm is by far the best. The process for green card was quick and painless using their service. They managed to fix a few errors that would have caused problems later. The result was a 2 month approval time. If you're new to immigration, know that it's a mine field and if you get a small thing wrong, you will be in court with the federal government. It's best to hire an immigration lawyer; I will use his services again for the citizenship process.

A trustworthy immigration lawyer
Mr. Sethna is a very professional lawyer. He also has very nice and efficient staff especially Elizabeth. I hired Mr. Sethna twice for my green card and then I-751 RFE. He made the most complicated processes so simple. All I had to do was to gather the documents he asked and the next thing I knew, case is approved! He will for sure still be my go-to immigration lawyer in the future.

The best immigration lawyer
It has really been very satisfying to hire the lawyer Sethna for my citizenship case. Everything was very simple and I just followed the steps that he indicated to me. It has staff in Spanish who can help you if you don’t know English. I know that sometimes people think that it is very expensive to hire a lawyer to help you with your residency or citizenship case but it was really worth every penny. I recommend it to everyone. My husband and I are very happy with his work from him and his team . Thank you attorney Sethna. *** Realmente ha sido muy satisfactorio contratar a la abogada Sethna para mi caso de ciudadanía. Todo fue muy sencillo y solo seguí los pasos que me indicó. Cuenta con personal en español que te puede ayudar si no sabes inglés. Sé que a veces la gente piensa que es muy costoso contratar a un abogado para que lo ayude con su caso de residencia o ciudadanía, pero realmente valió la pena cada centavo. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Mi esposo y yo estamos muy contentos con el trabajo de él y su equipo. Gracias abogada Sethna.

Excellent Immigration Attorney
Farhad is an great attorney, and even better person. My wife and I hired Farhad to help guide us through the process of applying for a family-based H1-b visa. Throughout the entire process, Farhad and Elizabeth were super helpful and knowledgable and made the whole journey as easy as possible. Throughout the period we worked with Farhad, he and Elizabeth were always available and answered our questions thoroughly and quickly. We felt aptly advised throughout our application process as well as when it came to next steps after our initial application was in. Even with the delays of Covid, Farhad and Elizabeth made the visa process as enjoyable as it could be. We would highly recommend working with Farhad for anyone who is in need of an immigration attorney as you are sure to have someone in your corner who genuinely cares about you, your situation and outcome.

Clear, Concise, Accurate & Actionable!
My specific situation as an International Student was quite confusing to evaluate given the complexity of options at hand. Farhad was able to distill my queries to the exact purview of the law as well as align it with an actionable process I could follow. Regardless of what the outcome will be, I know where to go if I ever have any questions. You won’t just get answers, you’ll get a process to follow.

The sharpest immigration attorney I worked with
I would recommend every F1 student entrepreneur to Farhad! He is a real professional both in immigration law and business law: he understood my needs; he tailored the solution especially for my case (I've also consulted with other attorneys before and none of them could work out an easy way for me); he was always very responsive even during his vacation and was very considerate to accomodate to my schedule knowing my issue was urgent. I would go to Farhad in the future if I get any legal questions regarding my business founded with my F1 visa, because he is the most knowledgeable attorney I've ever met in this field.

Compassionate and Trusted
Attorney Sethna, and his co-worker Elizabeth, were wonderful to us while working through my wife's immigration process. They also helped us through her K-1 visa process. Everything about our case seemed to be complicated by embassy closings and covid19. Farhad and Elizabeth were always quick to respond to emails and they are always compassionate to our situation, even when there were no answers. I appreciate all their help and we will trust them again when the time comes for the next step in our process.

Certificate of Citizenship
Attorney Farhad Sethna was refered to me by my congressman's office, as my situation was unusual and difficult. From the start I found Attorney Sethna and his staff very compassionate and understanding. I was totally informed of what they would do for me and what I needed to do if I hired them to represent me to the U S Citizenship and Immigration office. They worked with me through a process I couldn't have navigated on my own. With their help I was able to get my Certificate of Citizenship. I highly recommend them to anyone with an immigration or citizenship need.

Farhad “the Bomi” Sethna, A++++ service
Farhad is the best and only immigration attorney we will ever consult. Thanks to him we seamlessly navigated the adjustment of status process and I went from a tourist to a legal permanent resident in 10 months. Farhad and his staff know what they’re doing and how to do it. We thought we could navigate the process ourself, but we don’t know the little details and tricks to make our application sail through. Farhad does. If your family and your life is important to you, do it right. Reasonable fees, empathetic and understanding attorney, will go above and beyond to make it work for you!

Absolute delight to work with!
I engaged Mr. Sethna through my entire immigration process i.e. starting with L1A (2017) till I received my GC recently. Attorney Sethna, and his super-efficient Assistant Ms. Ryan, were an absolute pleasure to work with. We navigated some rough waters (denial, AAO appeal) and came through successfully solely due to the professional/prompt approach and experience of Mr. Sethna and Ms. Ryan. I would highly recommend to engage the Law Offices of Farhad Sethna for your immigration needs.

Professional and Incredibly Helpful
My husband and I began the immigration process on our own and admittedly felt a bit in over our heads. Mr. Sethna was incredibly helpful even though he began assisting us midway through our process, he provided a much needed sense of calm and helped to relieve a lot of stress that we were both feeling with his knowledge and insight of the process. Both Mr. Sethna and his legal assistant Ms. Ryan are efficient, clear and accommodating. We could not recommend Mr. Sethna's counsel more.
