Super-lawyers

I still can not believe what he did for me! I signed contract with him in March 2016 and he filed my Asylum in April and miraculously got an interview appointment on June 2016! Houman and Lisa prepared me for the interview over the phone ('cause I live in Florida) and they won my case. I received m...y approval on July 2016 and now he is applying for my husband to join me. Fair contract fees, vey polite and helpful, always on-time, trustable... They are my super-lawyers!

"I highly endorse attorney Houman Varzandeh. His expertise in the field of US immigration law is second to none. He is particularly skilled in the practice area of deportation and removal issues. His prior experience as an immigration court trial attorney has given him a special insight into how the deportation process works and the best strategies for deportation and removal defense.

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."
