Great Lawyer!!!!

For the last couples of years i was going through deportation proceedings. It was not because of choosing but because of unfortunate circumstances. Anyway to make a long story short, when my wife passed away on 2011 everything changed. I did'nt know what to do and that's when I started looking for ...immigration lawyers online. In my search for a lawyer I came across Mr Mac Nayeri's name The comments his past clients wrote about him his what got my attention. l will be honest with you if need an excellent immigration lawyer he his the one to get in touch with. From the first day I met him he was very respectful, understanding and listen to my situation and told me he will do the best he can to help me. And that's exactly what he did. My deportation proceedings were dismissed and he said he will help me process my green card paper work. We all have read reviews one time or another and probably wondered if they were true or not. Well don't doubt Mr. Mac Nayeri because he his truly a great lawyer and person.

Thanks Joshua. I am proud of the way you have managed to put your life back together these past few years. And I am happy at the outcome of your case, especially the final hearing! That is one for the story books.

Not many lawyers like him.

I was referred to Mac Nayeri by a family friend whom is a client of his but that is another success story. Mac helped me with Deferred Action (DACA) . I loved the fact it was easy to get an appointment with him and how amiable he is. The process was amazingly fast and within a short period of time I ...received my permit. And hold on to your hats everyone because he represented me pro bono! I highly recommend Mac Nayeri to everyone.

Probono DACA

I am extremely grateful with Nayeri Law Group. him and his team were able to open many doors of opportunity for me and my family. I had been going through various hardships due to my immigration statues and wasn't sure what my future would entail. so one day I finally sat down and started to contact ...several immigration attorneys to see in what ways they would be able to help me in my case. it took about 12 call, but at last I came across Mr. Mac's office. they were not interested in the money like the other law groups I had called prior. Mr. Mac's only concern was helping me and seeing me succeed. he answered all my questions and took the time to explain every process that was taking place. I thank God that that I was able to come across such a quality attorney like Mac Nayeri. I highly recommend him!

Differed Action for Childhood Arrivals case with a Voluntary Departure history.

Mac Nayeri really helped me with my case. I had a rather strange and complected situation due to the poor advice of another lawyer. I did a lot of research and was told by many that I would not qualify for the Differed Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program. I had to Voluntarily Depart as the ou...tcome of my original immigration case with a different lawyer. I wish I knew of Mac back then. From the beginning Mac Nayeri was very honest about everything. He said that if he really couldn't help me, he would tell me so as to not waste my time and money. He gave me honest information about immigration and the whole process. He informed me of the risks involved. It was great to have a lawyer be this honest and forthcoming. Once he reviewed my case and got all the details of my situation, he was very confident he could help. He had helped someone else, in my exact situation, qualify for DACA. He always kept me informed and explained every step we had to take. I took a few extra step on Mac's suggestion to further help my case. He put together my file and we submitted it. About 5 months later, I got the acceptance letter in the mail. I qualified for DACA. Now I have the ability to work in this country legally. It is very exciting to have this freedom and it's all thanks to Mac. His flexibility with our payment arrangement ensured that I would not be financially drained. He worked with me on a payment plan specific to my need. So I was able to hire him even though my budget is pretty tight. It was a great to work with Mac and I am glad I was referred to him. I am very thankful for his help.

The attorney you want

I had an employee who was detained I another state by ICE. I called Mac Nayeri and was impressed from our first conversation. He offered to help me represent my employee myself to save us money. I asked him to please make the trip with me to El Paso because I felt a little intimidated by the situatio...n. We sat in the court room and I watched case after case be denied or postponed due to incomplete paperwork and attorney's lack of understanding about their client's case. As Mac went in front of the judge I was very concerned. He handed a packet of paperwork to the judge and state attorney. After a 5 minute review by the judge, he not only granted our request but complimented Mac on how organized an complete his documentation was. We left the courthouse and tried to post bail, but the clerk informed us that we had to wait until the rest of the morning schedule had concluded and then it would take hours to process. Mac was scheduled to fly back to Phoenix in 2 hours, but he wasn't going to leave me there without trying to help. He spoke with an officer who led him back into the courtroom. Minutes later the state's attorney came jogging down the hallway apologizing for the delay. The clerk laughed and said he had never seen that happen before. Since then, Mac has finished acquiring a work visa for my employee, and is now helping others that we have referred to him. He is very honest . If he can help he will and if he can't he will not take your money. I had lunch with him that day in El Paso. Not only is he a great attorney, he is a good person.

"I endorse this lawyer. I was first referred to Mac by a prominent Phoenix immigration lawyer to help a refugee who was going through criminal prosecution and needed immigration law advice on the immigration consequences of a plea deal. I returned to Mac to represent a relative in obtaining citizenship. We were thrilled to attend the citizenship ceremony. Mac does a great job and works hard. He is also amazingly fast, responsive, helpful and respectful. He genuinely cares about the people he helps and understands that immigration issues are vitally important to their lives and well being. I recommend him highly."
