Great attorney, would recommend to any friend.

I was represented by Mr. Varzandeh in my immigration case. Although some other attorneys my family approached said I had no hope of avoiding deportation, Mr. Varzandeh was able to come up with a strategy. His in-depth knowledge of immigration law was evident in both conversations I had with him and i...n the way he carried himself in the courtroom. I appreciated his honesty and the fact that he avoided giving me false hope. It’s been 5 years since my case and I am now a citizen. I’m confident that the outcome was a direct correlation with Mr. Varzandeh’s proficiency.

Best in his field!

Stop your search now and contact Houman or Lisa immediately. They are the best in their field. Immigration law is a very tough, confusing and ever changing field, especially given the current state of affairs, not including the anxiety and emotional aspects involved in almost every case. I wanted to ...obtain my citizenship and my circumstances and past history complicated my efforts significantly. After searching and speaking with numerous different immigration attorneys, I came across Varzandeh and Anderson and contacted Mr. Varzandeh to schedule an appointment. Even before our first meeting, Houman contacted me personally to discuss my potential matter and ease my anxiety and concerns regarding my situation. Despite all the negative news and noise out there regarding immigration and particularly other people’s situations that were very similar to mine, Houman and Lisa patiently and methodically went over the laws, procedures and regulations concerning my immigration situation and my quest towards citizenship. Both Houman and Lisa are extremely well versed and super knowledgeable when it comes to immigration law. Houman and Lisa cited statutes and case law relevant to and supporting my particular situation like it was nothing, showing that they both live and breathe the ins and outs of immigration law. They eased my anxiety and stress not by just telling me it was going to be alright, but by proving to me how and why it was going to be okay. Most attorneys wouldn't take the time of day to sit there and explain all the relevant legal authority relevant to a client’s matter, but Houman and Lisa not only did so, but did it with patience, kindness and honesty. They're not like other attorneys I've encountered whom practice quantity of clients and cases rather than quality of work. I could go on praising their services forever, but all in all, you can’t find better attorneys to help you with your immigration process than Houman and Lisa. After the longest journey towards my attempts towards citizenship, I sat with Lisa for my interview yesterday and the officer recommended my application for naturalization to be approved, now just waiting for the scheduled oath ceremony to complete my journey and finally become a lawful U.S. citizen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Houman and Lisa! I am forever grateful to you both!

I won my case at FIRST HEARING session! The best Law Firm in California

******HE IS A WINNER AND ALWAYS WINS *****I won my case at FIRST HEARING session! ***** *MOST his cases WIN AT THE FIRST HEARING SESSION-no curt-no judge *Very knowledgeable *Very Professional *very reasonable fee $ *He cares about your case more than you do *Very very responsible *the servic...e you receive is way more than what you pay for *I won my case and was not referred to IMMIGRATION JUDGE *I would have been deported if I didn’t find Houman Varzandeh At the first meeting with Houman Varzandeh, he explained me everything I had to know about the asylum process, then he scheduled some preparation sessions and I was fully prepared before the hearing, I won my case without being referred to IMMIGRATION JUDGE. **Why I chose him? After a terrible experience with law office of Carl Shusterman, I found Houman Varzandeh through a friend, and I feel I was the LUCKIEST person on earth! Here is why: My declaration was terribly prepared by law office of Shusterman full of grammatical errors, but not by him, by a VOLENTEER INTERN who was working for him for FREE and I was her guinea pig so that she could learn how to lose a case, this is how Carl Shusterman runs his business, by interns. All of his clients are referred to immigration judge that means another 3-4 years being up in the air.

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.
