Amazing

Mana and her team have been a tremendous and lifesaving help for us. From the time that we stepped into her office she surrounded us with personal care, professionalism, and candor about the realities that we were facing. Looking back at 18 months of support and interaction we had with Mana, it feels... like she treated us like her own family, having our best intentions at heart and mind. As our case evolved, she kept us informed of each development and was strategic in the way she managed various stakeholders and available resources as our case became increasingly complicated. Our case was initially rejected by the USCIS due to an incorrect issue on their side, causing us a lot of anxiety. She spent a lot of time thinking through the strategy, engaging other lawyers to confirm the best approach, and acted quickly balancing both a “strong arm” while treading the line to maintain partnership with the immigration services and secured me a Green Card within one week of that initial rejection. Bottom line is, no matter how undoable the situation feels, Mana can solve your problem. It will be the best investment you can make.

The Best of the best

Attorney Mana Yegani is the best lawyer that I have ever worked with in my whole life. After a first bad citizenship interview, I looked for an immigration lawyer, found her, got an appointment and went to her right after. She was really sweet, attentive and note everything that I said. She took my c...ase, and was straight forward about what could go right or wrong and prepare me for my next interview. Her staff is so great by calling and giving informations with such a great professionalism. We went for my 2nd interview and it was so intense but Mrs Yegani defends me as we were family, I was so stressed but she kept giving me hope until the end. I didn’t know my case will be approved with everything that went wrong in the beginning of the interview, she did an absolute fantastic job since she knows my case really well. Being pregnant and stressed out she cares about me and went above and beyond for me. I will recommend her 100% times and definitely refer her to my family and friends.. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

Awesome and relentless

Ms. Yegani and her team helped me get my permanent residency after being denied twice by USCIS due to multiple misdemeanor arrests. She was always honest about the possibilities of approval or denial. However, she was relentless, professional and always optimistic and got me and my family through thi...s after years of stress. Thank you!
