One the best lawyers I ever hired

I just have wonderful things to say about Mr. Vashistha. He took my immigration case and help me all the way with everything, he always kept me informed and updated and he made my case to become successful after so many lawyers made me lose hope and money. I will certainly recommend him as trustwort...hy, responsive and excellent lawyer as well as a human being.

Extraordinary Hardworking Lawyer

Anish was the only Lawyer that would take my complicated case due to a deportation and false claim to the U.S. I am really impressed how he explained every detail of the process and was available if any questions I had for him. When I told him about my dying father he immediatly helped me get a perm...it, I am very grateful because I was able to see my father before he passed away last year in our country and able to return safely to my family. Thanks to Anish I have my Green card I am no longer afraid of being deported and I can provide for a better future for my family.

A True Expert in the Fields of Employment and Immigration

Mr. Vashistha is one of the most concise and detail oriented attorneys I have ever come across. He is very personable, and extremely easy to talk to. He was able to clear up any queries, concerns and troubles that I had during my H1 B petition swiftly and efficiently. Any time I had a question, he wa...s only a phone call away and gave us his full attention and time. When prospective problems arose, Anish was able to find a solution to best meet the needs of his clients. Not only has he successfully represented me and getting my approval for the H1 B Visa, he did the same for my brother, whose case was also successfully completed. The best part was, he did it with a smile. I strongly recommend him to tackle any Employment or Immigration based case, because his knowledge and tact was never ending. A true master of his craft.

After all these years......

I came accross Leon Hanzany through one of my best friends and then I search Leon firm via internet too. I called them made an appointment regarding my Immigration case. The the rest is a happy ending like Fairy Tail story. I hired tto many lawyersfor last seven years nothing happen on my case. Anis...h is very knowledgeable, professional and keep me updated evey step on the way on my case. I never seen this knid of professional skills and excellent service in my life reagarding my immigration case. What they did to my case is magic. My case was pending for seven years with Immigration office. Because of that I was depressed and stress out when ever I think about my status in America. Not ever three months I got my "green card". I am very thankful to Anish and his Law firm Leon Hazany for the service that they provided to me. I would highly recommended to any one who need help and assistant on their Immigration case. Again Thank you Anish and his Law firm from botton of my heart.

Excellent Help.

My husband and I hired Anish the last week of April and by mid July my husband received his Permanent Residents. Before we met Anish we started the process with an immigration consultant; but we stopped because if we had continued, my husband would have been deported from the U.S. to pursue his c...ase from his country of birth. The reason for this was because my husband had entered the country illegally; therefore, he needed to ask for a pardon to USCIS, and wait for an answer (this could take from 6 months to 10 years). Thankfully we met Anish, who advised us that he could process the case in the US. He showed us the "immigration bible," which showed that my husband was protected under section 245 (i). Also, during that time, my husband was facing unsolved criminal issues. We were very affraid that this was going to be a problem, but Anish helped us through the documents needed and through the interview questions regarding the crime. Overall, Anish was professional with his job, but was also very friendly attorney, making us feel comfortable. Most attorney's that we have interacted with intimidate us and it seems as if there is a wall, which we could not brake, making it very difficult for us to ask questions and much less confess the crime. I have recommended Anish to plenty of people, and will continue to do so because I know that if he can help you, he will, but if the case has no future he will be honest about that also.

"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."
