Mr.houman Varzandeh is a Legend!

If some one ask me with one word describe Mr.H.Varzandeh, I would definitely say he is A LEGEND. If I want to write about his great profession and his personality,I would probably end up with a notebook. Words can’t express my feelings for Mr.H.Varzandeh and Ms.L.Anderson. According to other attorney...s and I by myself, I knew that I have one of the most complicated and hardest case ever. Before I meet Mr.Varzandeh, I met almost 7 attorneys and most of them were known and good, even i handed my case to one of them, I paid and I was happy with him and my decision too until I met Mr.Varzandeh,,, since I was super nervous and scared about my case,, a friend of mine which was worrying about my case too, he asked me to visit Mr.H.Varzandeh just to get an advice,,, after my friend insisted, I visited Mr.H.Varzandeh, that day was one of the biggest DAY of my LIFE. I was super surprise about Mr.Varzandeh’s knowledge, profession, and manner,, same day Without second thought , I said YES Mr.H.Varzandeh is the one,,, then I stopped working with my previous attorney and I handed my case to Mr.H.Varzandeh, and actually I was very right about him,, because Mr.H.Varzandeh with his professional technic solved my complicated case less than 7 months and Im still shock!!! And still can’t believe how professionally Mr.H.Varzandeh and Ms.L.Anderson solved my complicated case less than 7 months. YES that’s very trueeeeeee and I couldn’t find another way to say thank you!Most definitely if someone need attorney I will refer to Mr.H.Varzandeh,,, The words cannot express how grateful I am for all the Mr.H.Varzandeh has done for me. He is very professional and expert in his field. He is honest and sincere with the excellent moral and right to the point. His dedication and expertise are indescribable, and I have always felt confident having him as my attorney. I wish I could give him and his firm 7 star rather than 5 star.

Super Lawyer

Houman was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to make the impossible possible, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor. I am eternally grateful for his help... and I absolutely recommend Houman and his Firm without any reservation.

The real definition of human being and professionalism

The words cannot express how grateful I am for all the Mr. Houman Varzandeh have done for me. He is very professional and expert in his field. He is honest and sincere with the excellent moral and right to the point. His dedication and expertise are indescribable, and I have always felt confident hav...ing him as my attorney. He was so knowledgeable, sincere, and confident that I felt comfortable enough to start my case with him from the first time I met him. He did a great job on my case in the exact time frame he talked about. Ms. Anderson and everyone in the office were also very professional, nice and helpful. They were always available to answer my questions and ease of my concerns. I am very much grateful for all the hard work he and his great team have done for me. I strongly recommend this law firm to anyone.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Houman Varzandeh is a truly exceptional attorney. He possesses a rare combination of extraordinary intelligence and an unparalleled knowledge of the law with a uniquely principled and compassionate approach to his clients. I feel honored and humbled to work with him and am amazed daily by the brilliant solutions he finds for even the most complex of legal situations. Because he has been both a prosecutor for the INS--under the prestigious Attorney General's Honors Program--and served for many years as a defense attorney, he is unusually positioned to understand immigration law from all facets. I could not endorse him more highly as he is, by far, the best immigration attorney I have had the pleasure to work with."

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.
