Highly recommend Mr. Abuzir

Mr. Omar handled my immigration case with great professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and trustworthy when the case worker started questioning my husband's previous marriage. Mr. Omar handled my case in a timely manner without me having to ask him for any updates on my status. He responded promp...tly and kept me informed through the whole process. In addition, I feel he is a great person as I got to know him better while waiting for the interview. Greatly recommended!

Far exceeded my expectations!

Mr. Abuzir far exceeded my expectations. I had a very complicated immigration issue that several lawyers declined because of the level of complexity. Mr. Abuzir accepted my case and handled it exceptionally. I am so pleased with this attorney. I would recommend him without any hesitation!

An Attorney you should know

I rate him among the very best immigration lawyers in the Chicago area. He was always available to me to give advice in person, or by email. He is a patient listener and gave great consideration not just to the Law, but to my fears and anxieties. His promptness in replying to my emails was indeed ver...y heartening and assured me that my attorney was on top of the situation throughout the Naturalization Process. Even after the swearing-in ceremony, he responded promptly to my further queries with great understanding and empathy. I have the greatest regard for him, not just as an able attorney, but also an outstanding Professional.

I highly recommend Mr. Abuzir

Omar represented me in my Deportation case a little over 2 years ago and did a great job! Obviously, I'm still here. My case was a bit complicated but Mr. Abuzir was very straight forward and advised me what and when to expect my case to be heard and processed. Mr. Abuzir was highly recommended to me... by another good friend of mine. I owe him my life because If I were to be deported back to Mexico, I know my life would have been miserable. My first attorney took 8,000 from me over a period of 4 years and did absolutely nothing for me. Mr. Abuzir took a fraction of that and gave me my green card!

Excellent attorney

Omar represented my husband in case his immigration court. He was very understanding of our situation and very knowlegible of the laws. After looking at his papers he was able to determine the defenses my husband was eligible for and was candid as to my husband's chances and what to expect. We spo...ke with other attorneys who could not tell us half of what Mr. Abuzir was able to explain to us. He is very prompt in returning calls and guided us through the entire process. Ultimately he won the case for us and is now applying for my husband's citizenship. Great attorney!!
