Posted by Fatima | December 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Professional and Knowledgeable

I hired Mr. Shahzad for my citizenship case because a friend referred me to him after a good experience and I heard he won big immigration dispute cases. My friend's hopeless case of a 10 year bar was stuck in the Montreal consulate, but Raheel fought the case with the state department and the friend... arrived in the US. Unfortunately I had a couple of issues on my record preventing me from getting citizenship... but with Raheel's expert knowledge on how to overcome these tough issues, I am finally well on my way on becoming a US citizen! I was very surprised to see that others have written such negative things about him on this website and seems unfair to say the least.. Anyhow... I found him to be extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, professional & diligent in his work on my case. I have heard similar good stories from my own friend and others who were also his clients. If you have a tough case, Raheel is the attorney you need to talk to!

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.
