Best immigration lawyer in the valley!

Mac is certainly an expert in his field of practice. He is assertive, creative, articulate and responsive. He is knowledgeable, meticulous and organized. He is passionate for his field of work, he invest in his clients and put the time to listen and share his insights and he has great judgment. He ...is a positive person and great to work with. I highly recommend Mac for anyone who is looking for a lawyer.

Best Immigration Lawyer

If you are looking for a loyal, knowledgeable and hardworking lawyer Mac Nayeri is the one. My husband was in deportation for 20 years and all lawyers we went to they were telling us no one can solve his case;but with Mac dedication and his investigation on my husband case he was able to solve his ca...se. I fully recommend him.

Best lawyer ever.

My partner of 10 years and I are so grateful to Mac and Veronica. We were finally married in California last year but the currant laws back then did not see same sex partners as equals in the eyes of the government. As a gay couple lliving in Arizona my partner was not a legal resident of this countr...y. When the laws changed we were still not sure if could get his green card. So we researched a few lawyers and we found Mac. He was amazing. He told us that we could get my partners green card in as little as three months. He helped us every step of the way and told us exactly what would happen and what to expect every step of the way. Mac joined us at our interview and we were in there less than 20 minutes. They hardly asked us any questions. It was so easy and relaxing with him there. This was because he made sure all our documents were in order and no room for question about our case. My partner got his green card in less than three months. We are so happy not to have this hanging over our heads. We are now looking forward to becoming a citizen.

immigration client

My wife and I are extremely grateful with Mr. Nayeri's work. He did something many other lawyers told us might not be possible, even our previous attorney told us that it was most likely for us to lose the case because of my two DUI's I had on record. When a co-worker of mine told me Mr. Nayeri was ...helping her with her DACA paper work for free and all the great things he was doing for her and her sister. I asked her if she would give his information so could give him a call because i couldn't come to an agreement with my attorney then. I called him the next day and told him about my situation and my immigration problem and with out a doubt he told me he was going to help me. He did really care about how i would pay him all he really care about was him being able to help me. I then truly felt that i could trust him. I saw in him that knowledge, professional and passionate for what he dose when last year a when was representing me in court for the first time there was a disable man that was about to be deported because he had no lawyer. The judge told him that he need it have an attorney and then asked the attorneys that where in court that day, if any one would want to represent him. No one but Mr. Nayeri offered to be his attorney with no cost at all. Later that same day the same man had no way to get back home (which i believe was some where in Yuma or Tucson) Mr. Nayeri , a security and I offered to pay a taxi for that man. That day was the day i will never forget and the day that i realized that i made the right decision on hiring Mr. Nayeri. As my court approach Mr. Nayeri was able to work with me on the payment and he took my case again only few days before my court because i was the one that didn't get in touch with him and he was trying to reach me but couldn't. That day i told him i was sorry that for not keeping in touch with him and asked him if he was able to represent me and he told me that he was going to take my paper work home and study it and a day before the my court i would pay him which was great for me and i thank him for doing that. A few days ago I had my last court, Mr. Nayeri told my wife and i that he wanted to close my case but that we were in for a long shot. He keep us in a positive mood, told us not to worry that he had this case and that he was going to do what ever possible to close this case. He did as he said he keep his world that day Tuesday 7/15/2014 he was able to close my case!!! Mr. Nayeri and wife and I where all happy , similes from ear to ear :) !! Mac Nayeri was a blessing for my family and I ! I am for sure recommending him to all my family and friends and to whom ever is reading this.. Thank you Mr. Nayeri for all your hard work and for being able to help out people like me ! Not only are you a great attorney, but a great person.

Tired of hearing similar answers from the attorneys? Try Mac Nayeri!!

My family hired Mac because while other attorneys and lawyers kept giving the same advices, only Mac stand out and gave us a different eyes on our case, which was exactly what we needed. Mac is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and most importantly, can think outside the box. I would high...ly recommend Mac and his service.

The challenge in this case was trying to persuade the Judge to see our theory of the case, which I knew would be difficult. Luckily, we were very lucky to have a sympathetic Immigration Judge. No doubt without his cooperation, the outcome could have been very different.

"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."
