Professional, Knowledgable and Dedicated

I am writing a review in order to help other people who have probably been through the same experience as me. I am from Kazakhstan and I have a very complicated VAWA case. After being scammed by a couple of lawyers here in Houston who promised me to help me with the case and in result took my money a...nd disappear on me by not answering my emails or calls or get me turned away saying they couldn't help me and that my case was too difficult. I was ready to leave the country before I decided to try my last chance and searched for VAWA Immigration lawyer and found Mana’s reviews. At my initial consult Mana carefully listened to me, asked me questions and did an excellent job explaining and being honest on what are the possible outcomes of my case can be. Besides being highly knowledgable and true professional, Mana had a friendly attitude. She truly cares for her clients and responds emails in a timely manner and 200% dedicated to her clients’ cases. Her paralegals Vanessa and Jessica are very professional and friendly. From the initial meeting they were responsive to my calls, emails and questions and got back to me quickly. The entire office staff at Mana Yegani office is very efficient and supportive. My case is still on going, so far I received my Texas ID and EAD cards in a timely manner without any issues. Mana and her team keeps me updated on my case status and make sure I receive my immigration letters and document without any delay. If you are looking for an outstanding and knowledgable VAWA Immigration lawyer I highly recommend Mana Yegani and her team. Do not give up hope, it took me just one phone call to set up a consultation with the right lawyer.

An exceptionally capable lawyer & a great person to work with

Ms. Yegani is an exceptionally capable lawyer who knows every step of the way. She also will never give false hope or mislead her potential client in believing in something that may not happen in real. You can always count on her expertise to leave the legal matters with her and have you only concent...rate on providing correct information that she requests. My case was related to citizenship application and she guided me through the entire process. Her support staffs are great to work with too, nice and diligent. Last but not the least, I am sure when we go to a lawyer our life is in peril and it is keeping us out of breadth. You may be looking for that straw to be afloat. What she does is treat you with utmost respect and without ever making you feel like you are being taken advantage of your situation. You may be able to find equally capable lawyers but at the same time if you need a caring person to hold your hand to wade off the storm, lawyer like her is exceptionally rare. BOTTOM LINE - IF YOU NEED A VERY CAPABLE LAWYER WHO WILL ALSO TREAT YOU RIGHT, PLEASE CHOOSE HER. I wish her all the best in her career and life.
