Employment base green card

I contacted Ghazal for my green card case which is recently denied. I asked her for a help and she instantly offered to talk and then she helped me with all my questions. She is very knowledgeable about the process and very friendly and patient with providing me information on how we need to proceed.... I would suggest her if you need a lawyer.

Mrs. Mehrani

I contacted Mrs. Mehrani for my Parents immigration’s case back in 2017 and then hired her for the process. She was wonderfully helpful , understanding and responsive. My dad got his visa yesterday. I really appreciate her efforts and work throughout the process.

Not a good NIW attorney

She did a very poor job for my NIW case. I had a strong case but got rejected. She might be a good lawyer for other immigration categories but she does not have good strategies for NIW.

Excellent Attorney: diligent, meticulous, and honest work

When I first contacted Ghazal, I was in a quite desperate situation: my OPT extension application has been denied and so I lost my job and I was also out of status. I needed to immediately file for my adjustment of status. She worked very quickly with me in preparing all the required material and we ...could file my application in 5 business days. She showed great care to the details in my application (e.g., she found missing pages in some of my documents, etc.). I have worked with two other immigration attorneys before, and I can honestly assert that she's produced the best practice I've anticipated from an immigration attorney. Now I've got my permanent residency and I thank Ghazal for all her helps. I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
