Highly recommend

I've been working with Mr. Vashistha for the past four years as my immigration attorney who had approved for me two H1B visas with two different companies and finally my Green Card. He is an attorney who you feel safe and in good hands with. I have to say he is the most informative and knowledgeable ...immigration attorney I have worked with. I talked to multiple attorneys before Mr. Vashistha, and they all sounded the same till a friend recommended Mr. Vashistha. Although we worked remotely, as he was in a different state, which I felt was a big risk for me to take at the start, I felt he was the real deal. He told me exactly what should we go for, what he needed, and what I should do. With the first H1B visa, which is always the hardest, he made everything go so smoothly. He's always available, responds right away, and explains and answers to all questions and concerns multiple times. He is always prepared for the next step and always overcomes and prepares for any challenge. He never gave up on my case and always found a way. What was surprising as I had some issues with my first employer, he was still committed to my case even after I was granted the visa. For my second H1B, the process went really smoothly as I started working right away, Mr. Vashistha worked on the process, and he got me the visa in no time. Right after that we started talking about getting my Green Card. He confirmed from the start that I am ready and that I do have a legit case despite some issues, so we started the process. We had some challenges that we overcame one step at a time; I would say my case wasn't an easy case. He knew exactly when to apply based on what my case needed and if there were options for me to make the process faster. For example, he made me wait till I reached 5 years of experience, which delayed us in filing for a couple of months, but it was a much much faster process at the end. Also my employer’s immigrant petition mistakenly got denied initially, but from my experience working with Mr. Vashistha, I didn't freak out. I know that he had a plan, and a few day afterward he told me exactly what we need to do and what papers we need to have the case reopened. At the end, he delivered, my residency application got approved, and I got my Green Card. I am really thankful to Mr. Vashistha, and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney.

An extraordinary immigration attorney.

Anish is the smartest, nicest and most talented attorney I have ever met. I came to his office 2 years ago with my dark side and hopeless. He has handled my case with confidence, efficiently, effectively and professionally. As I observe, he is truly dedicated to his clients and shown gen...uine interest in helping them . His answers are always thoughtful and accurate. He and his firm treat clients with caring , honest , respect, warmth and humility. I have had the honor and privilege of having Anish to be my attorney and will stand up for me in court. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an extraordinary immigration attorney.

Delivers as promised.

I have worked with Anish a couple of times in the past few years and each time he did a terrific job with my petition. He is easy to work with and laid out my options in very easy to understand language as opposed to legal speak. Our marriage based Greencard application has some complexity to it and ...Anish took the extra steps to ensure that our petition was solid. We are really happy with his honesty and professionalism.

Confident, knowledgeable and very Professional... Best lawyer in LA !

He is one of the most confident person I have encounter. We met him during our immigration process. We went to many lawyers for initial review and found couple of them very professional. But during the initial interaction with Anish, he came across as confident and knowledgeable lawyer. He actual...ly made sense and knows what he is doing. He always kept us informed and guided us about the filing process, changing laws, interview and was always on the mark. One is bound to be anxious till you get the final approval but he made the entire process very smooth and most importantly, SUCCESSFUL ! At personal level too he is very humble and is always willing to help us. I have and would highly recommend Anish to my family and friends. And, so shall you ! I wish you All The Best ! Thanks, Dhaval

Excellent Person for Immigration cases

I was very impressed with Anish's professionalism, and his conduct of the case as a whole. I was anxious to have the case concluded quickly and found him to be responsive to my needs, helpful, and above all extremely efficient. He is a professional with dedication. His time management and organizatio...n skill was brilliant as I have never reminded him about my case follow up. His professional way of dealing case was stunning. My case was quite complicated and required special attention as I have been victim of Human trafficking and domestic violence. My husband has beaten me and took everything away from me. I have lost completely hope for getting better life. But Anish's guidance and help has made me feel that there is definitely way for better life. I would happily recommend him and his firm to others in future as a result of the experience I have had and service I have received.

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."
