Best of the best lawyers!!!

I had visited a variety of immigration lawyers over the past 12years. Every single one of them had told me there was no way for me to become legal. Even tho I was married to a US citizen. I had honestly lost hope of my dream coming true. Being able to see my mom again but without risking the stable l...ife I had here with my kids. When I initially met with Anish because I had heard he specialized in hard immigration cases, the ones no one else would take. I have to admit I didn't think he would take my case and say I actually had a fighting chance. I had been deported back in 2003 and I had returned before my time was up. So this made it more difficult for me to become legal. But after almost 2 years I got my green card, went to see my mom, my kids got to meet her and spend quality time with her. I just want to say on behalf of me and my family thank you Mr. Anish because of you I got to go back to my country and visit my family. I will always be in debt with you. Again thank you so much

Review

My husbands case started back in 2012 . After failed attempts with other sources I was reffered to Mr. Anish by a co-worker of mine. Calling and hiring him as our attorney for my husbands case was the best decision that me and my husband could have made. We contacted Mr. Anish in 4/2016 after a faile...d attempt for his I601A through Hermanda Mexicana after he was denied his waiver the first time Hermanda Mexicana pretty much told us that there was nothing they could no longer due for us, so thats when we decided to take all our papers and thats when we contacted him and met with him a few days after and from the first time just by fastly scanning /reading through our papers Mr. Anish pointed out so many mistakes and important dates that the US consalte looks at as important that.were wrong and just some the facts didn't concur at all. Im happy to say that in a year of course cause of the process we hAd to resubmit his I601A my husband was able to get approved for his wavier and now we are back and was able to obtain his visa on 4/2017 Mr. Anish is very precise/ and specific about what he wants and he knows exactly how to help. I have nothing but great things to say about him he went above and beyond for my family. He is for certain someone you can trust when it comes to legal matters but most important a loved one he will guide you every step of the way and takes the time to explain and answer any questions you might have. He is truely the best and if i can go back in time i would of hired him since we started our process back in 2012 and it most likely it wouldn't of been such a long process for us. We can never thank him enough for all he did!

Amazing person

I hired Anish years ago and he help me get my citizenship when I had a criminal record, but that's not why I'm writing this review, I'm writing it because after all he's done he's still willing to guide me to help my family get the immigration status done. I am so glad I've met him he has made my st...ree go away and now is helping me with answer to help my family years after with no charge l. He is amazing, I just want to say thank you again Anish love you bro!

Outstanding Counselor

When I retained Anish Vashistha, I had gone through a lot, which made me very anxious about my case. However from the beginning, Anish reinsured me that he will help me with my situation and guide me to a successful outcome. Anytime I felt nervous or something came up that I needed to ask, he was giv...ing me counsel and help. Every issue that came up Anish was able to predict and fix. After almost a year and a half my status in the United States has been fixed and I couldn't have asked for better guidance throughout the process of adjusting my status. With Anish as my lawyer by my side there was never a moment where I felt worried or helpless and that took away a lot of the stress I was overcoming during that time. After all, everything went as Anish predicted and through his knowledge he was able to give me confidence and a happy ending.

Very professional

He was recommended by a friend and I am glad she did. I would also recommend Anish as an attorney. He was very helpful and made the transfer and renewal for my visa pretty simple. He was very organized and very honest about everything that was going on. He was always very good at replying to my emai...ls or phone calls and I can tell you I wasn't easy on him. I was very stressed out but he always reassured me and was very professional. I would work with him again any time.

"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."
