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. I am always thankful to Anish for my better life and future.

Best lawyer ever

I first met Anish a few years ago during a free consultation. I was seeking his help to see if my conviction was going to prevent me from getting naturalize. He confirm that it wasnt and he didnt pressure me to sign a retainer. He even said i could do it myself . I felt happy but a few days later w...as getting nervous again so i went to seek out advice from three more attorneys. Two other attorneys agreed with what Anish said but the third one said i was in trouble and that I need to hire him if i want to get approved. He was supposed to be the best but after my consultation i knew he was just using scare tactics to get me to sign a retainer. So i was a little scared so i set up another appointment with Anish and told him about the other lawyers answer he kindly smiled and said that i have nothing to worry about. It was then that I knew he was honest and caring that i decided to hire him. I couldn't pay all at once but Anish set up a payment plan to help me and he started on my case that same day. I had trust him completely and everything that he said was accurate and came true. He was always there when I was scared to calm me down and lift my spirits up. It was because of his guidance that i was able to accomplish this and yesterday i had my oath ceremony. I am so thankful god put Anish here on earth because of him i would still be scared to apply for naturalization. I just want to say thank u again Anish your a great lawyer and a great person. So if anyone needs a top notch lawyer dont hesitate to called the best attorney which is Anish.

US TRAVEL WAIVER

Anish is the best lawyer I have had. Always keeping me up to date and never letting me worry. I had difficulty applying for a US travel waiver because my application was lost. I was surprised how Anish was able to get in touch with the right people to get my application expedited. I would never have ...been able to get in touch with these people on my own. I am very happy with hiring Anish and plan on staying with him for all my legal needs.

Genius...Brilliant

"Immigration Law" is such a ride that showed us most highest Bumps of the life! We had left the hopes due to my husbands misguidance of immigration procedure, negligence of previous lawyers and as a result we were the victim of human trafficking. I was browsing the net for "Best Lawyers" in the town ...and came across "Mr. Anish Vashistha". Contacted him the same day. We hired Mr. Anish to represent our case. He is really honest and realistic about expectations, filing process, court procedures and timeframe. First Mr.Anish legally got this person who was trying to threaten our family on immigration grounds and filed the case for permenant residency by applying the waiver.We finally won the case because of his expertise and hard work and we obtained permanent residency sooner. Mr.Anish is an extremely insightful, strategic immigration attorney. Regardless of the complexity of the case, he is someone who implements legal strategies very efficiently. His analytical ability and years of experience enable him to provide thoughtful, thorough, and, most importantly, practical legal advice regarding a wide variety of benefit law issues. He listens carefully to client's queries and he responds quickly and clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. We have worked with Mr.Anish through our green card process and have never been disappointed in any aspect of his work." "Mr.Anish Vashistha", is simply THE BEST and would definitely highly recommend him to anyone who is dealing with most complicated immigration matters.

Anish the "Best Choice Attorney" in LA

I highly, highly recommend Anish as an immigration Attorney. I found through my experience that he is definitely someone you can trust. He is the type of Attorney that has your best interest at heart. Anish helped me with my approval of U-Visa while saving me from deportation and making a clear pa...thway for my Green Card approval in coming the months. Throughout the process he was very thorough; he would call and/or email requesting whatever additional information was needed. It felt like he didn't mind putting the extra effort and time because he truly wanted to help me. I couldn't emphasize enough that www.lawfirmav.com of Los Angeles has a friendly staff, you can tell that you are dealing with good people who are really on your side. When I say this I refer to both Anish and the staff. They are all positive people who made me feel like my case was their priority. Furthermore, I got the impression that they are truly trying to change the immigrant experience in this country for the best. Finally, my previous experience with many immigration lawyers had been that they gave me an initial quote of how much their services were going to cost and then when the whole process ended in a negative outcome, they were ready to charge me more. I have spent close to $30000 only in selecting at least seven different lawyers with no positive outcome. Anish is NOT like that. He gave an initial fixed rate from the start and that is exactly what he charged at the end. Finally I don't want anybody who needs Immigration assistance should go through the stress, agony and fear for choosing a wrong attorney on the first phase of your process. I would like to recommend Anish the best choice as a Immigration Attorney. I am thankful for his honesty and integrity. I truly don't have anything negative to say about Anish. I am thankful for his services and I hope he continues to help many immigrants like he helped me. Thanks Sydney

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."
