About Houman
Biography
Our firm, Varzandeh Anderson LLP, is perhaps the only immigration defense firm in the United States that has two former United States Attorney General Honor Law Graduates as partners in private practice together. Both Lisa Anderson and myself were picked by President Clinton's Attorney General to serve as prosecutors in the INS. We both served in that position for many years and have since been in private practice for the past decade. Our experience as both prosecutors and defense attorneys is unique and we provide extraordinary legal service to our clients.
