Highly recommend Attorney Mehrani for E2 visa

Ms. Mehrani is incredible! We filed our E-2 process with her help and got the approval in around 2 months. Our family had a very complex situation, so we consulted with couple other firms before hiring her service. Other attorneys either had very high fees or they would not spend the necessary time t...o explain the process to us. This was very important for us due to our complicated family situation. But, Law office of Mehrani did an amazing job for us. Ms. Mehrani was very meticulous and detailed oriented. She always explained the law first and then discussed her own opinion and judgement. We trusted her wholeheartedly and now we have a family friend who is interested in E2 visa and with no hesitation we recommended Ms. Mehrani. Thank you law office of Mehrani! You are fantastic!

The most ethical, caring, knowledgable attorney

It is my great pleasure to write a review for Attorney Mehrani. She is, with no doubt, one of the best attorneys I have worked with. One thing you might notice at first is her responsiveness. Ms. Mehrani (and her offices) responded to all our inquiries with no delays. I hired her legal services for m...y brother’s case who lives in Europe. Despite being in a different time zone, she would answer all my brother’s questions at her earliest. My brother had a complex family-based immigration case, but we found that she is very knowledgeable and experienced with different areas of immigration law. She patiently guided us through different options and explained cons and pros of each path to us. Also, her legal fees are very reasonable for the fabulous services that we received. Her advertisement says 24/7 legal support once hired, and they definitely mean it. If I would have known Ms. Mehrani before hiring my own attorney, I certainly would go with her. I highly recommend her! Sincerely, Mary

A Caring Immigration Attorney

Our legal case was removal of condition from my wife’s green card. Our first attorney for the case was barely responsive to our emails and seemed to be focused to other clients. After seemingly endless frustrations, we decided to look for a more ethical lawyer. We did not want to beg for a legal serv...ice which we were paying in full (above average price btw). I know Dr. Mehrani from her legal activities to support immigrants and people in need. Being caring, responsive and constantly engaged in activities that border philanthropy, It was not hard to see that she is an exact opposite of our previous lawyer. After patiently hearing our case, she offered a fairly priced service to us and managed to get every paperwork done well in advance of our application deadline. She was always available to assist us and went above and beyond her duties to offer us her advises for the immigration issues. Although our case is still in the process, but I am already satisfied with Dr. Mehrani’s professional service and have confidence that our application will go through without a glitch. Without any hesitations, I recommend Dr. Mehrani's immigration services to anyone who want a high quality service with a fair price.

Passionate and Knowledgeable

I am a technology start-up CEO. A few of our key team members are immigrants, in need for various visas, green card and/or immigration advice. For one such case, we reached out to attorney Ghazal Mehrani for consultation as we had heard very well about her from friends. I was impressed by her level o...f knowledge of various visa options, pros and cons and conditions of each both for my company (employer) and the employee. She fully and patiently listened to the specific situation of our employee, and patiently explained all options to us. What was particularly interesting to me was her ability to simplify a rather complex case by breaking it down into simpler pieces and drawing a clear picture of possible approaches for the client to decide upon, in addition to making her own professional recommendations as to how the case should be handled for best efficiency time-wise and cost-wise. It was also rare to see that an attorney spent significant extra time (at no extra charge) to make sure all questions were answered. Attorney Mehrani did this for us, and I really appreciate her passion for what she does. I can certainly see that her number one motivation is to help her clients to the best possible.
