The best lawyer one can hire

As with every great lawyer, Ajay was recommended to me from one of my colleagues who had nothing but great things to say about Ajay. That already made me feel confident moving forward in such an important process with someone I felt was trustworthy. I hired Ajay and started the whole immigration pro...cess for our work-based green card (mine and the wife). From day one, Ajay was very clear, professional, detailed and showed an impressive depth of knowledge. He told me how the process worked in its entirety and how he was going to tackle it. During this time, I always felt I knew what was happening, the steps were clear and that I understood what needed to be done. I have friends who went through the green card process with other lawyers and they told me right off the bat that it was a tough experience that left them scarred. That’s when working with a professional like Ajay makes a difference: I knew how the process worked, we never got a RFE, Interviews were waived, and we got everything approved in record time without a single issue! Now, if you don’t like your lawyer to be extremely thorough, to check, double-check, and then triple-check what he’s sending, then don’t go with Ajay! Because he will only submit documents when he knows they are perfect! It’s better to take extra time and be prepared than it is to rush and have issues later. And our process is as smooth and fast! And with Ajay I never felt I was just another client or just a paycheck, I felt that Ajay cared for our case and that he was doing the level best to get our case approved! Just a small example: as we were waiting for the green card, I got on a call with Ajay to ask him some questions questions about the L-1 visa I had, and steps I needed to do for the renewal (if the green card didn’t arrive before the L-1 expired). Ajay was on the phone with me for about an hour, explaining a visa renewal process that is not related to what I hired him for, and never once mentioned that I needed to pay for consultation or made me feel he didn’t have time. I asked him at the end if he wanted me to pay for his time, and he declined. That alone, shows that Ajay is a gem! I have recommended Ajay to other friends and they all said exactly the same! And if someone has so many people mentioning the same qualities, you know that means he’s the real deal!

Excellent lawyer!

I retained Ajay when facing some difficulties obtaining a spousal-based immigration visa. Ajay handled those difficulties successfully in a VERY short time. From the time I retained him until receiving the visa, Ajay advised me very well on every step of the way. Ajay really goes above and beyond mak...ing sure that everything will go through. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer handling my case.

Astute and thorough

Ajay is the consummate attorney that has the amazing ability to absorb all requisite data, even the seemingly unimportant, and assemble a path forward that becomes the (prayed for) life-saver for the challenges faced in world of immigration law. He is exact. He is succinct. He leans in and takes on t...he cause on your behalf. I admire Ajay's abilities and nature. No doubt, his decades in service of his clients has become the foundation of his stellar reputation! Way to GO!

Highly Recommend

We cannot be happier with or more emphatically recommend the services of Ajay Thakkar. We came to Ajay on the recommendation of an attorney friend, after we were dissatisfied with our prior legal representation. The difference in service provided was stark. Ajay is detail oriented, his service is com...prehensive, and he shows clear concern for his clients. We were under a tight deadline, and he was able to fit us in. Ajay has helped my wife and I skillfully navigate the immigration process from start to finish. Immigration law is an area where one can feel particularly vulnerable. But with Ajay we have known we were in good, attentive, and honest hands from our first consultation.

Professional, Reliable and HONEST!

I have known Ajay's work and ethics for over 20 years. He is honest, transparent and will not sugar code anything. He is very organized, punctual and detailed oriented. Everything he asked me to provide for my case was exactly what was needed to be approved. If you are looking for an honest opinion a...nd a professional to work on your case , Ajay is the person you need to hire
