The most honest and caring lawyer!

For ten years I’ve sought help from numerous lawyers in Los Angeles to solve my immigration problem, and all of them had the same response: There is no hope. One lawyer even compared my situation as a person floating in the sea with no help or boat to get back to the shore. Fortunately about a year a...go, I finally met Mr. Varzandeh. At our first appointment, he immediately presented a solution to fix my problem. He is honest, knowledgeable in law, confident and most importantly caring. With his extensive background and experience as US immigration attorney and defense lawyer, I was confident that my case would be fixed. Unlike many Lawyers in LA, he spends many hours with his clients. Throughout my case, he dedicated himself not only in court but in his office as well. He would immediately answer any concerns or questions I had whether it was through email, phone, or in person. With all my stress and concerns about my case, Mr. Varzandeh made me feel confident and comfortable that my case will be fixed. As I’ve said, there are not many honest and caring Lawyers out there today. However, I was fortunate to have Mr. Varzandeh represent my legal problem. To this day, I am still grateful for what he has done because I would not be where I am today without him, and I am honored to not only call him my lawyer but a friend as well.

Criminal defense attorney's invaluable advisor and colleague

After 45 years of practicing criminal defense, which increasingly involves collateral immigration consequences, I finally found an immigration attorney who knew what he was talking about and in whom my client and I could put our trust. Immigration law has become very pervasive and complicated and ha...s many subtle, but critical, ramifications. Land mines are everywhere. I have consulted with Houman for years and refer all of my clients to him when they also have immigration issues. He has never failed me or my clients and I recommend highly.

I met Houman a few years ago, and I am happy to say that deciding to instruct him as my attorney was the best choice I have made in recent years. Being an attorney myself, it was really refreshing to see someone with so much experience who still managed to 'keep it real'. What I mean by this is tha...t whereas many other established and prominent lawyers lose themselves, Houman always prioritized my family and I and always paid attention to all of our questions and never ending queries. This is a lawyer who remains compassionate, yet is incredibly smart. Prior to instructing Houman we had asked other attorneys about him...and all individually said that we would be very lucky if he would take our case. In fact one judge told us that as long as we had Mr. Vandandeh on our side, we were in good hands. Having worked closely with him in this professional capacity, I would URGE anyone to attempt to get Houman to take your case. If you are lucky enough to have him as an attorney, I assure you that you will be in good hands. I feel honored not only to have such a genuine, hardworking and smart person in my field but also it is a true privilege to have been his client. I do not often feel it necessary to write review for professionals with whom I have worked, and indeed Houman’s reputation exceeds anything that I have written here, but for what its worth, I would highly recommend him to any client who seeks the best immigration lawyer on the West Coast.

amazing lawyer

Houman fights for his clients like if they were his own family members. He uses his head in the court and his heart when dealing with his client's family. Personally Houman was a God sent not only did he WIN multiple times in my brothers favor with incredible fight but he sat there and explained ever...ything that was going on untill I was crystal clear about the situation. I know for a fact it is not every day you can find an amazing lawyer like Houman.I walk in to his office a mess and confused and I walk out calm and confident on what he will get done and how he will do it and let me tell you this man gets it done right if you are looking for a lawyer who will give his 110% not only in court but to you as well Houman is that lawyer he makes the imposible POSSIBLE I know he did it for us so I know he can do it for you my family calls him super Houman because he is that good

Houman gave us our life back!

Without Houman and his partner Lisa, my husband and I wouldn't be here. We got stuck in a VERY stick immigration situation and two other lawyers we spoke to said there was no way to avoid deportation (one even charged me to tell me that!!). When we met with Houman and Lisa, they laid out a plan, di...scussed the risks, and made sure we understood every aspect of what was going to happen. Any questions we had were answered immediately...and by that I mean email responses at 8am on a Sunday! They treated us as friends, not clients, and although Houman never promised a miracle, he sure delivered one - we went from deportation to green card in less than 9 months!!
