America Smells Different after my Citizenship!!!!!!

I met with Arek back in 2011, to start my green card process, and today i am a citizen. Times goes so fast. Arek helped me in every step of my case, he is very professional, honest and really cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable, a great communicator, and truly represents best interests... of his clients. If Arek takes your case, you can be confident that he’ll do everything and will win it. Beside of being an outstanding professional, he also has a very nice personality, and it’s simply a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend him to all people. Thank you Arek you rock! Volkan

Best Lawyer for E2 Visa

Arek is an amazing, hard working, detailed oriented lawyer we have ever seen. Even though I live in Florida and never had a chance to meet with him in person, he was always accessible to our calls and patient to all our questions. He successfully helped us getting our first E2 visa in 2011 ( which wa...s a very hard case) and also helped us this year to renew our visa. We are so happy to work with him. We can`t think or ask for anybody better. We strongly recommend Arek and his amazing team to all of our friends.

Finally getting my green card!

I met with Mr. Nizamian a year in a half ago while trying to waive the two-year rule on J1 visa. My wife and I talked with many lawyers but none could really help with my case. One of friend's recommened Arek to us and boy are we happy we did. He waived my J1 after it had been denied and it didn't ta...ke long at all. After obtaining the waiver for the two-year rule we decided to hire him again for applying for permanent residency. And now we have the ten year card thanks to Arek and his team. He is really responsible and professional and very approachable. We could contact him at any time and he answered any questions we might have had. At the time of our interview he flew up to San Francisco and really comforted us before the big day. After finally meeting with him in person he made us feel that everything was going to work out and that we just had to trust him. He made us happy. I would highly recommend Mr. Nizamian because thanks to him I have a brighter future in this country.

H1B Officially approved thanks to Arek and his team

I came in 2013 on a J1 visa and my company sponsored me for a H1B in 2014... Unfortunately there was a lottery because of the high number of applicants and my application didn't go through and wasn't reviewed. But Arek didn't give up and submitted my application again this year. I won the lottery thi...s year and after that everything went well and got officially approved today by the US emabssy in Paris. He was updating me anytime he got some news and also was very nice and answering my questions. He prepared all my papers so i was able to arrive to the my embassy appointment welle prepared. Patricia, Arek's paralegal is also really great. She was always here for me if I had any question. Very good lawyer and paralegal, nice available and very efficient. I recommend Arek and Patricia for their wonderful job.

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.
