Excellent Lawyer in Chicago, IL

I know Sakina Carbide for the past 19 years, she helped me with my immigration case in year 2000 for my status change to permanent resident. Everything went smooth all due to her guidance and her preparing me. Recently, she has helped us with my wife immigration case from fiancée visa in 2008, t...hen permanent resident in 2009 and finally citizenship in 2017. Sakina Carbide has always been our number one choice. She is very hardworking, dedicated, friendly, and competent lawyer in Chicago, IL area. She has treated us like family and cares about her clients from the bottom of her heart. Her fees are very reasonable, and she will spend the extra time with you if needed on top of that she will be present with you during your interview. She is our lawyer for all our future legal needs. I would highly recommend Sakina Carbide to anyone and everyone who needs a lawyer. I thank her for all the help she has provided me and my family, God bless her and her family. She is an excellent attorney! Second to none.

Sakina Carbide is an Amazing and Caring Lawyer!

Let me just start by saying my husband is taking his oath for citizenship tomorrow...which has all been made possible because of Sakina's excellence skills as a lawyer. My husband had a very difficult case. He case was made more difficult due to another lawyers poor skills in filing the correct pape...rwork. We met with Sakina and she ensured us that she would straighten everything out from A to Z. Her fees were very fair compared to other lawer fees. She was very responsive in every step of the process from the interviews, to obtaining his green card, and ultimately his citizenship! We are so excited to share this moment with our children! Thank You Sakina Carbide for making this day possible!

Best Divorce Lawyer

I retained Sakina a few years ago with a very complicated divorce case, with children, businesses, investments, multiple homes in separate states, disspation, alimony, and alot of other issues. She was very fair in her billing, and I know because this was my third divorce. We did not have a prenup an...d I was afraid that I would be taken for a very long ride by my ex. Sakina protected my assets and guided me along without creating unnecessary billing and court time. The case was settled without a trial based on her extensive efforts at getting a workable agreement--a better deal than I even hoped for. I cannot say enough good things. She always responded to my emails quickly and completely. She was available for appointments when I needed them and she explained each process of the divorce to me in very good detail. I never was afraid of what would happen. She discussed plenty of issues with me that she did not even bill me for, which is why I am posting now. I contacted her over the weekend about a non related issue and she took the time to call me and really listen and guide me and is not even charging me. I should have posted a long time ago, she deserves it. Some other posts here are just nonsense.

Excellent Professionalism!

Ms. Carbide is a fantastic lawyer in the Chicagoland area. She was able to resolve my complicated immigration in a short span of time. Ms. Carbide has, confidence, professionalism, and immense knowledge in her field. She is a lawyer who knows the law thoroughly, cares about her client, and fights for... her client. She was extremely helpful in answering my questions and guided me through all legal proceedings, I highly recommend her services.
