Dependable and full of right advise

I have worked with Mr Nizamian since 2007 on many different cases. He has handled one EB3 case, and two H1-B extensions and adjustments for me. Each time, he was able to act proactively and sent and did everything on time. Finally on my last case of EB-2, he has succesfully helped me to achieve and r...eceive the approval for green card. His advises were well thoughts off and he was always on my side. Also in terms of his fees, he was very fair and just compared to many other immigration lawyers. He is very professional and takes time to explain and go through the options. He is detailed in his filings.. I am very organized person when it comes to putting files and information together, however when you see the files Mr Nizamian prepares for immigration files, you will see a new level of organization and professionalism. His staff is amazingly positive and hard working people. They always welcome you when you need to call and talk about anything. I consider Mr Nizamian a lifelong friend now that we have worked so long together for my cases. I will always recommend him to friends and family. They cannot be in better hands than Arek.

Excellent Service, Excellent Result

We have been working with Arek Nizamian for 6 years. On our last case we did have only 2 days to do all the paperwork for E2 visa extension and Arek got our case. He and his colleagues worked lightning fast in 2 days and they made everything ready to file the petition for extension. We got our appro...val in 14 days without any request for Proof of Evidence. Arek and his crew know what they are doing. Friendly environment, professional service. Highly recommended.

Great and Knowledgeable Immigration Lawyer

Phenomenal Person and Lawyer.. I had two previous pretty bad experiences with two different immigration lawyers. Then after calling around lots of different immigration- so called "expert lawyers" with not much luck and success , i did call the office of Mr.Nizamian He was extremely knowledgeable ...in the area of the immigration law. He was also very very polite and helpful over the phone conversation and answer all questions regarding the specific matter of my case. I was very pleasantly surprise with his manners over the phone and in his office after meeting him. So my advice to all with immigration problems: Please do not waste your time calling around and gambling with your case..Call the office of Mr. Arek Nizarian and handle the problem the proper way. I do not wish anybody to go through what i did go through..He is the right person to handle your case. And also what i think is very important - His price is very very dissent .

Smooth H1B application

I had a very smooth H1B application with the attorney. He is on top of his case. He definitely knows what is he doing.He was confident about the case and made me feel confident too.
