Mac saved me

Nayeri Law (Mac Nayeri) was my lawyer since 2012, I ran into immigration problem in 2009, I hired a big shot lawyer from San Diego whom I spent so much money on who did absolutely nothing for me but spent all my savings! I hired Mac Nayeri in 2012 who at the time had absolutely no problem taking the ...case although the case was very complicated but Mac assured me no case is too big or too small! As a Ghanaian born I thought I've seen it all but my case was complicated enough to point where I completely gave up but Mac never did, my last court appearance I told Mac this is the last time I'm coming back to court and Mac looked at me and Said Frank be strong we are almost in the end! Sure enough that was the last time! It was so ordered by the judge to grant me a green card all because of Mac's hard work and dedication! I can go on and on but truth be told YOU CAN MAKE A MOVIE OUT OF MY CASE BUT MAC MY MAN GOT ME OUT OF ALL THAT MESS! Thank you Mac I can't thank you enough.

Our whole family won our asylum cases from Mexico

Thank you Attorney Mac Nayeri, Veronica Villasenor, and everyone else that helped with my father’s and uncles’ cases. He helped my father win his asylum case and months after traveled to Mexico City to come get us and ensure we arrived to the US safely. Our family is back together again, and I feel ...safer here. I have also been personally present at numerous trials both in Florence and Phoenix, Arizona and have seen the vast amounts of time and effort he has spent on my uncle’s cases that have also been resolved positively and also now count with their asylum status. He has helped all my family members he is an excellent lawyer and achieves the greatest results.

My Arizona Angel is Mac Nayeri

Mac Nayeri helped us to get our adult son home to Canada. Although it was a different yet difficult case with many complications, Mac took our son under his wing and got him home to Canada. There were many challenges we had been facing for over a year and Mac was able to resolve them all quickly with... his knowledge, skill, integrity and genuine care for his client and their well being. Mac went above and beyond, even after the ruling came in, to help navigate us through our sons return to Canada. Mac is an amazing skilled and knowledgeable lawyer and is a very caring and genuine person. I trusted my son's life to him and he not only acknowledge this, Mac brought him home. There are no words that describe the thanks our family has for Mac for helping us with this complicated situation. My son was very comfortable and felt very protected by Mac in a world that was foreign to him. He too is so thankful for all the support and work Mac gave to help with his safe return home. I recommend Mac to anyone and everyone! For any Canadians that need help with immigration issues in the US, I highly recommend you reach out to Mac. He will help you. Mac is our Arizona Angel and he can be that for anyone who hires him. Thank you Mac for everything!

DACA denied case

When I came into Mac Nayeri's office, I came in heartbroken and hoping he could help me out with my DACA case that had been denied. With me being so disappointed and upset about the struggle that I had gone through since applying for DACA in 2012, I knew it was my last chance to get it right. In this... review I wanna thank Mac and also recommend him to whoever is looking for someone who will truly care, fallow up not just by a call or e-mail but also via text. He changed the image I had about lawyers in general, he feels like family. He pushed me to the fullest, did not give up on me when I had already given up on the idea of getting approved and that I was probably gonna get denied again. I was able to get the evidence I needed two days before the deadline and I couldn't of done it without the support and guidance of Nayeri. Last month I received a letter that said my DACA had been approved. It made me wish I had gone to him back in 2012. Till this moment I still can't believe It. I had cried over this DACA situation for so long that finally after all that time I got approved, what a way to start the new year! 2015 feels more then amazing! Thank you Mac Nayeri, you're the BEST! Isela

"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."
