Best ever I found

I was in deep trouble back home in Pakistan , Anish really presented my case super professionally which later on led me success to win an approval of change of status. I am thankful of almighty Allah who guides me to hire Anish as my legal representative

This Is the Attorney You Want Representing You!

I remember reading reviews like this when we first started the Immigration process with my husband. I'd pour through reviews in search of a glimpse of humanity and hope. We wanted an attorney who would speak to us like PEOPLE and understand this can feel like a very SCARY process. We wanted an attor...ney who was experienced, good at what he/she did and could without a doubt get us the results we wanted. We found all of this when we hired Anish. Anish is WONDERFUL attorney. He is intelligent, strategic and thoughtful. Within a year and a half, my husband's status was successfully changed. He is an incredibly thorough attorney. If he doesn't know the exact answer he'll do an exhaustive search until he has the right strategy. We always felt in good hands with his direction and guidance. He was meticulous in his paperwork and information gathering. He made sure we were prepared and prepped for every step of the way. This entire process can be overwhelming because you are not in control and it involves the fate of the ones you love most. Anish understood all of this and ensured that we felt as comfortable as we could with the process, explaining the nuances and details we needed to know. What few people seem to understand about this process is that for many of us it is about our entire life direction being wrapped up in paperwork and arbitrary forms. Anish is someone who understands the gravity of the situation but has incredible confidence in his skills - and he should - he's truly exceptional! And now my husband and I are leaving to go travel - freely - to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our lives are incredibly changed for the better. We couldn't have done this w/o Anish's help. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing help w/ Immigration issues.

Job Well Done

With sincere thanks to Anish Vashistha and his Law firm (Law firm of Leon Hazany & associates ) for all your hard work and all you have done .Words cannot express my thankfulness . It is greatly appreciated. I came to this law firm in 2011 with frustration and hopeless about my immigration issue...s. He gave me hope when I thought hope was gone. It was a great help in my most hard time. Sometime , money means nothing and there are many things that money cannot buy . Only people who care so deeply for other in need will understand it. My complex immigration issues began in 1999. I had 4 high profile immigration attorneys to handle my case during the past 11 years (1999-2010) . However, none of them were successful . I have been his client for almost 3 years . My complicated immigration issues have been resolved and my green card was approved last week. Anish and his firm have handled my case professionally, efficiently and successfully. Anish is a rare treasure, he is not only a professional, polite, sincere and always accessible attorney , but also he is very compassionate , genuinely generous, caring and kind person. It is my pleasure to have him to be my attorney . and represent me in court. Once again, thank you ....for a job well done.... I highly recommend Attorney Anish Vashisthta and his law firm to anyone who is looking for superior immigration service.

my experience with anish vashistha

I would like to share my experience with the lawyer Anish Vashistha and how he helped solve my problem much more easily than any other lawyer. I found Anish through my friend who previously hired Anish and who was strongly recommending him. My friend explained how Anish had solved his problem even th...ough he was in a really bad situation. Before I went to see Anish, I had consultations with 3 other immigration lawyers, but no one was able to assure success or even give me a straight answer due to the complexity of my situation. So, when I went to see Anish, I had low expectation based on what the other 3 immigration lawyers had already told me, but based on his experience and knowledge of the Immigration office, Anish gave me an answer of “Yes” after he heard my situation. I could believe his answer because I saw that he fixed my friend’s worse situation. And here I am! In only 3 months, I got naturalized and was finally able to visit my hometown after 15 years. I can’t describe how good he is compared to the other lawyers who were even hesitating to give an answer. Thank you very much once again, Anish!

Best choice for the job.

In a time where we had begun to lose faith in the immigration process, we were fortunate enough to come across Anish and his law firm. Initially hesitant to have our hopes shattered once more, we were quickly proven that this was not at all like previous attempts. Anish proved to be everything that w...e had been in search for in all those hopeless years. He worked with such determination to not only obtain successful results but to ensure that our anxieties and worries would be put to rest. He is a caring and genuinely intellectual. Vastly knowledgeable and truly sincere, Anish is the best option out there. He makes sure the job gets done and that it gets done the right way. Anyone who has become disillusioned with the system, worry no more. The best solution to your worries is Anish because he ensures a high quality job without having you feel like you're speaking to a robot. He is with you every single step of the way.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Vashistha is among the best lawyers I have worked with. He has impressive academic credentials Graduating from Georgetown School of Law - a top tier school). He has proven himself in the courtroom also. I have worked on many cases with Mr. Vashistha and he has produced excellent results for his clients. Two cases Mr. Vashistha worked on stand out because before Mr. Vashistha took the cases over the two clients had been working with other attorneys who had mishandled these complicated cases. After the tragic mishandling by the former attorneys, the two clients met with many lawyers, all of which advised them that their cases were hopeless. After Mr. Vashistha took over thecases he was able to undo the harm and he won both cases. Mr. Vashistha is honest, ethical and dedicated to the cause of his clients. He is a zealous advocate and I strongly recommend him."
