big mistake going to this law office

In 2013 I came to Varzandeh Houman Law Offices for consultation. During consultation I was told that I need to hire Mr. Alan Fenster to vacate 2005 I was guilty. I made appointment with Mr. Alan Fenster and came in for consultation. On my appointment I felt he was not pleasant person to deal with bu...t I had no choice since at the office of Varzandeh I was told he was the only attorney who can help me. So i hired Mr. Fenster and paid $ 7000.00. Mr. Alan Fenster said he will vacate process of my case in few months, when I asked him what is few months he raised his voice and repeated I said few months . in the results, He worked on my case 22 months. I had to plea guilty to a different charge, which now on my record as 2014 case. The case was not handled with care, with a small mistake he made and not make it clear that is was 2005 case, now I m Immigration court on removal proceedings and my Green card was taken away from me. I contacted Mr. Fenster trying to explain my situation, his response was not to call him about this case again

I do not know who you are and you have never been a client of Varzandeh Anderson LLP. I am sorry about your poor experience with another law firm. However, you seem to misunderstand that I am neither Alan Fenster nor am I responsible for Mr. Fenster's work or relationship with you. Our office is not in ANY way part of Mr. Fenster's law firm. When people have serious criminal issues, as you have conceded that you have in your review, I try to help them out by referring out to multiple criminal lawyers to either vacate the plea or change the plea. Many different names were given to you and you were free to choose from that list, OR ANY criminal lawyer you liked. I did not encourage you to hire Mr. Fenster in any way and in fact I always encourage people to choose the attorney they are most comfortable with. You are responsible for your decsion to hire other attorneys and your review is outrageous as you have never had a legal relationship with my office. Once again, I am sorry that you are not happy with the work of Alan Fenster but Mr. Fenster is not a lawyer that works at Varzandeh Anderson LLP, nor are we criminal lawyers.

If you need help with your immigration status , he is the person to go to ...

he was very caring and listened to me and didn't give me any empty promises or false hopes. he spent a lot of time with me even in consultation session and explained how bad the situation is (which was 100% honest and true) and what his strategy would be to help me. the charges were very fair and the...y never asked for more money during the process which took a while. He went above and beyond his promises to help me and they were alway prompt and helpful with questions and concerns and very supportive . He got my approval with very smart and clever strategy with his best expertise. I really couldn't ask for better. THIS PEOPLE ARE THERE TO HELP and that's not easy to find when you need an attorney. if you need any help HE IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET.

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!

Mr. Varzandeh is a super excellent lawyer in immigration cases!

Mr. Varzandeh is a super excellent lawyer in immigration cases! He is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, effective, and responsive. I am so glad that my friends recommended Attorney Varzandeh to me. He was straightforward from the beginning, telling us about timing, the costs and all detail...s in my case. He and his wonderful staff answered calls and emails promptly and sensitive to my concerns. His office staff is fantastic, too. Mr. Varzandeh guided me step by step through the process, answered all my questions in person, and kept me informed about new rules. Finally my case was approved in less than a year. Actually he had a really really great job of predicting the questions that I might be asked at interview. At the interview, I knew all the answers because we practiced all the questions before. I’m very happy that I was approved in my Green Card interview. He called me in person and told me "congratulation" for my approval. I was on the top of the sky. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to apply for immigration case and permanent residency in the US.

Very professional, honest and truthful, highly recommended

It's my privilege to recommend Mr Varzandeh as an excellent immigration attorney. Highly experienced, extensive knowledge , reliable and very generous in his time to explain and accompany every step along the way. He is also very clear and fair for the fees.
