About Sassoun
Biography
I have exclusively practiced immigration law for the past 18 years. We have a very high success rate in all immigration matters that we have handled over the past decade, including political asylum cases, criminal removal proceedings, family and business immigration petitions, and numerous other very complex cases, including motions to reopen deportation orders and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and U.S. Appellate Courts throughout the United States. I have a great team of paralegals and associates who speak English, Armenian, Tagalog, and Russian fluently.

Professional, Timely, and Well Priced Service
I was in removal proceedings stemming from a misdemeanor criminal conviction and Mr. Nalbandian was able to resolve the entire issue and set me back on track to get naturalized. Before settling on him I price shopped around a little bit and got a wide range of quotes on what it would cost to handle m...

Diligent and Follows Through
I retained Mr. Nalbandian not just for a normal, every day immigration need. It was actually quite complex and it was for an incarcerated client charged with a crime who was deemed deportable. Mr. Nalbandian, diligently did his research and exercised all his resources and went above and beyond to l...

unfortunately I chose him to represent me in immigration court
I had the worst experience with mr.Nalbandian, unfortunately I chose him to represent me in immigration court.

Replied last September 21, 2016Thank you for your review, BUT (1) We do not see your name in our list of clients and we keep a computerized database of all our clients from the past 16 years of practice; (2) We have not lost any such cases with clients in detention so the facts you describe do not match the experiences of any client/case we have ever handled; and (3) we did have a client whom I believe you may be referring to, but we withdrew from the case months before the final asylum hearing due to a breakdown in communications, so if the case was subsequently handled by another attorney and denied by the judge, I am sorry to hear that, but I do wish you and that client the very best of luck and success in all your endeavors.
