The most helpful lawyer someone can have

Shabnam Lotfi is really a very dedicated and committed lawyer. I hired a lawyer and consulted six different lawyers but only the lawyer who only dedicated her time and used all her resources to help and guide me was Shabnam Lotfi. She is knowledgeable, has high experience and tries her best to find s...olutions for helping applicants in their legal matters without charging extra fees. She's not just a lawyer but she goes far beyond and helps you like a dear friend.

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY EVER!!

We were in a total mess, with the most complex situation thinkable, and it was time to find an attorney. I contacted Shabnam, as she was the closest to my house. Little did I know, that we would be embarking on a painful, long, intense process with this AMAZING woman, and if it wasn't for her, we w...ould've never made it through. Emotionally, I was a wreck, and she reassured me so many times, that I'm sure I annoyed her, but she always comforted me and made me have faith that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. She is incredibly knowledgeable, she knows the laws inside out, and no matter how complex, if it's something super strange and unknown, she will get an answer and the best plan given the situation. I can't imagine having gone through this with anyone else. We are so lucky, and so thankful to have such a talented, experienced, trusting, and dedicated attorney. She has become someone who means the world to us, as we will never forget what she has done for us. These were our darkest hours, and she saw us through them. We had tears of fears followed by tears of happiness thanks to her success! She's a rockstar! Truly, the BEST you can find! She is so on top of things, and caring, and smart! It just doesn't get any better than Shabnam!! We are so grateful and blessed to have had her, of all attorney's out there.

Great immigration lawyer

It was a pleasure to work with Shabnam as she was very attentive about my E2 visa case and excited about my project of cafe opening. She very quick with emails, careful and creates confidence by understanding your immigration case. Highly recommended!

Dont Hesitate to Contact Her

Shabnam is a young but expert lawyer. Her advises were really helpful for us. The main point is that she is really sober and listen to you carefully and understand the situation.
