Caring, Friendly and Professional

The first meeting with our immigration lawyer was a pleasant surprise. Pegah was very caring and personable. She was attentive while we told her our story, taking notes and asking questions about things we had not considered. It was very apparent from the start that she was extremely knowledgeable wi...th immigration law and processes. After getting a good idea of our situation, Pegah laid out a broad gameplan of what would need to be done to achieve our end goals. We were given estimates of cost, time it would take, and the steps required to get to each milestone. Throughout the process we were updated by her assistant, Yenifer, who was extremely professional and also very personable. Any additional information required, appointment scheduling or communications were passed on to us through Yenifer and she was our ‘go-to’ person for any concerns or questions, and our calls were always promptly returned. We believe that the service and the overall experience offered to us by Rahgozar Law Firm was well justified, especially when you consider the cost versus time involved in the immigration process, not to mention the emotional stress. We are very grateful to have used Rahgozar Law Firm for our application.

Immigration journey with Rahgozar Law firm

I just finished my naturalization process with the Rahgozar Law firm last month which is the conclusion of a long journey which wouldn't have been possible without the amazing help and assistance from Pegah, I cannot thank her enough for all that she and her firm have done in this long and sometimes ...stressful journey of immigration and path to citizenship. She a brilliant lawyer and an even more amazing person. I couldn't have gone through this process without her and her amazing staff. Without doubt one of the best immigration attorneys in Houston. She is capable, skilled at her trade but above all, she is compassionate. Pegah was always available to answer my questions. Not only that, she tried her best to alleviate my stress and concerns regarding the immigration process. She handled my case professionally and compassionately through all the various stages of progress, from the initial green card application all the way to naturalization.

I highly recommend Ms. Rahgozar and her team.

Rahgozar Law Firm finally made the last three years of stress and anxiety melt away. My husband and I filed our I-485 and I-130 in September of 2017. Had I known how much we were going to go through; I would have hired an attorney from the start. We used a company located in Rosenberg (I think) in a ...strip mall. The business staff was very nice, but they did miss some items on our application that Attorney Rahgozar noticed. We had our interview in February of 2019, and after that heard nothing. We kept calling USCIS for an update with no results except they received our request and a notice was sent. We never received that notice even though we used the form on the USCIS website to notify a change of address last November. Finally, in January of this year, we looked for an attorney and found Pegah Rahgozar. Thank goodness we did as USCIS had sent the notice to the wrong address. Ms. Rahgozar was very kind when listening to our case. She sent us very detailed and thorough emails with the steps and documentation to gather (COVID19 had already started). Even though all our correspondence was by phone or email, She or her colleague Yenifer always responded to our communication timely and told us exactly what we needed to do. USCIS had sent a letter of intent to deny. It was crazy as one of the reasons they were going to deny was that I had not proven I was US Citizen?? I was born here and lived in the US all my life. We sent the mountain of documents to Ms. Rahgozar’ s offices and she compiled a huge file response that she sent to USCIS. They reopened our application which they had sent a denial notice, and my husbands’ application for the green card was finally approved on July 9th. I highly recommend Ms. Rahgozar and her team.

I asked Ms Rahgozar to accompany my parents for their citizenship interview. She was very helpful and responsive during the whole process. She answered every question we had very thoroughly and her professionalism and kindness on the day of the interview made my parents very comfortable.

Review of Pegah Rahgozar

My immigration case was an extremely complicated one, had been handled by 2 different immigration attorneys before, but still got NOID. I am incredibly grateful that I was referred to Rahgozar Law firm almost the last minute before the deadline. The attorney who handled my case at that time just gave... up. I had also consulted with 7 other different immigration attorneys before I was referred to Ms. Rahgozar, almost everyone told me there was no hope with my case. Ms. Rahgozar was very professional and knowledgeable. She was such a caring person with positive attitude, which was a huge encouragement to us during such frustrated time. We were so impressed by the level of attention and detailed work Ms. Rahgozar’s provided. She provided me step by step professional guidance on preparing the evidences from our end, she was always very prompt with responses to any of my concerns or questions. With her professionalism, dedication and commitment, we were able to turn in the responses within 2 weeks, which I thought was impossible before I first consulted with Ms. Rahgozar. I would highly recommend Ms. Rahgozar to anyone in need of representation for immigration matters.
