Application N600

Hi Amira . I'm Edison. I just want to thank you for such. A good job that you done on my case . It was not an easy one because both of my parents have passed away . And even I came as a child legally thru my us citizen mother ice was still giving me a hard time on prooving my case . But every time ic...e was reQuiring more paper work hard to find . Don't know what you did delegating or you just got the experience and know the legal process to take . I had contact other attorneys but it really didnt showed me the experience that I was looking for . I just took my case to Amira She answered me a few question regarding my case and very comfortable with the work that she was doing . Also she's up to date on any new immigration law any changes coming up .i really recommend her and she's no bs she is the real thing . :))))) one of a kind .also she's not after your money ....

Excellent Attorney

Dear Amira: Words simply cannot describe the joy and peace you have brought to our lives. You made this convoluted and long battle seem like a simple and achievable task. There is no doubt that your knowledge of the law, research (from day one), understanding of the case, organization, and timelines...s were instrumental in getting the case approved. Knowing that you were representing us gave us hope, confidence, and piece of mind. We knew that engaging your services was the right choice when we met with you the first time; however, our decision was confirmed during the interview when the officer said: "you have chosen a very smart, efficient, and determined lawyer..." Jared and Nicole

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
