Perfect lawyer for U.S. citizenship

I had a perfect experience working with Sonia Ansari. She answered my initial inquiry right away and provided me with me a free and thorough initial consultation the next day. She always answered questions in detail and very promptly. I am now a U.S. citizen thanks to her expert help. I highly recomm...end her.

Wonderful immigration lawyer

Got my work permit within a month of case being filed. Got my green card within six months! Sonia is a fast and effective communicator. She was so polite and professional in her communication with me and my wife, I have improved writing my own work emails. We only dealt directly with her throughout t...he entire process from the first phone call to schedule a consultation to the immigration forms to case updates up until approval. She is a fantastic immigration attorney, and we are so grateful we found her. You will be too!

Impressed!

Ms. Ansari is one of the most patient, thorough, and knowledgeable attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is an incredible asset to have in your corner. She is honest and diligent.

Responsive and knowledgable

From my consultation until my case was approved, Sonia was always helpful. She had an answer to every question I asked, and I asked a lot of questions. She was able to explain the application process in a way I could understand. I didn't really understand US immigration law, and it was a relief to... know that I had such an authority working for me. Sonia made what could have been a stressful process seem straightforward.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
