Unbeatable lawyer

who cares about how complicated your situation is. You gonna WIN as long as you have Houman on your side. The most professional, trustworthy, and honest lawyer on the planet. Without him and his help and support, I wouldn't be where I am. Thanks so much, Houman for your great work and also thank all... your friendly staff at your office. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Excellent and Dependable

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to Mr.Varzandeh. I had the privilege of having Mr.Varzandeh as an attorney in my case for over five years. He has represented me most professionally. His ethics, courtesy, knowledge, and honesty are of the highest standards. The best part ...of the process for me is how easy it was to contact my attorney. He was easy reached by email. Anytime I had a question or doubt, he gave me the best advice after considering all the specific facts. I appreciated him keeping me in the loop about filed papers and every little step that needed to be handled to move our case forward to absolute success.Would give 20 starts if I could! He was real and on top of everything. You are in good hands with Mr.Varzandeh.

Outstanding Lawyer

Mr. Varzandeh was the third lawyer that I hired for my Immigration case. Unlike my other attorneys, He is knowledgeable, confident, and professional. He prepared me for my asylum hearing, and we won the case. Trust his word; if he tells you he can do it, He will get it done. Note: My case was pendin...g for 7 years

Fantastic lawyer and best team ever!

Would give 10 starts if I could! Houman, Lisa and Lily were all the greatest help we could have asked for. They were all at once professional, informative, experienced, and friendly. We are so grateful to have hired them to help with my wife’s immigration from China. Houman never ceased to calm our w...orries and provide quick feedback even late at night and while he was on vacation. Lily was also very helpful and accurate with our documents. (Never trust someone who isn’t 100% accurate on paperwork as a simple mistake can mess up everything for you!) Lisa stepped in for our immigration interview since Houman already had a legal matter scheduled. She was a pro from start to finish. Thanks you all again for everything!

"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."

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.
