Best immigration lawyer in CA

We were looking for an attorney for our immigration and had appointments with more than a dozen lawyers but no one seemed to be the one we were looking for.. one day browsing through the Web we went through his Web page and thought of trying one last time.. the moment he heard our case he was like Ye...s I like your case we can do it.. he was the first lawyer out of so many who was so cono identify about our case and took it. He is not only professionally sound but also a very kind and caring person. Throughout our case he was always there to guide us, gave answers to many of the questions and he treats his clients personally. When we were called for an interview with the immigration officer he was there on every step as if it was his own case.. we won the case and all credit goes to Anish.. we were lucky to have him as our attorney. We would highly recommend him

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.

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!!!

In early 2010 I was detained in the boarder of San Isidro a couple hours after was released. August came around and just realized that my green card was about to expire. I was stressed I didn't know if I would be able to renew my green card. I looked on line for lawyers and out of all the ones that ...I had came across I had decided for Anish V. I highly recommend Anish Vashistha he helped me out and gave me peace of mind that very moment I spoke to him, he explained pros and cons and spoke truthfully. Throughout my case he kept me updated and and gave me comfort. He's not only an excellent lawyer but a a great heart person that takes personal interest to help in all possible ways. I definitely recommend his services.

" A good quality Immigration lawyer "

Over 10 years ago my brother got deported to Philippines of alleged drug offense. Living in Santa Maria Ca. I could not find any reliable attorney to handle my brother’s complicated case. So I decided to look outside my city/county to find a good quality Immigration lawyer to help us. I have been ta...lking to 3-4 lawyers before I met Mr. Anish Vashistha. At first I was not sure how it would turn out since English is my second language but Anish made me feel comfortable and explained as many times as necessary for me to understand. He is very informative and knowledgeable Immigration lawyer I have known. In fact he was able to work cooperatively with the District Attorneys and the ICE office to ensure everything went smoothly with having my brother's deportation order thrown out, having him return to the US, and having his original Green Card status given back to him. What I like about Mr. Vashistha is his honesty, intelligence, and dedication to help his client receive what we are looking for. I would strongly recommend Mr. Anish Vashistha to handle your immigration problem. To Mr. Vashistha again thank you so much for helping my brother to have his dream come true once again and of course for helping /granting my elderly mother's request before she die to have my brother back in the US. More powers to you.

"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."
