Absolutely Excellent

Sassoun Nalbandian was extremely helpful. My uncle, for whom I was acting as a translator, had been in immigration proceedings for 14 years. He went from lawyer to lawyer, and the last one before Mr. Nalbandian was absolute horrible. She stole over $30,000 from him, and left the case at the most crit...ical time. Mr. Nalbandian listened to the story, and agreed to represent my uncle. He asked a very reasonable price, and was very dependable. He did not make any false promises or give us any guarantees. We knew what to expect and what our options were in case of failure. After 14 years of proceedings, and at the point where we thought this was the end, and that my uncle would most likely get deported, Mr. Nalbandian worked his magic, and somehow my uncle was granted asylum. It is not an exaggeration when I say that he gave me one of my happiest days. Thank you! You have been truly wonderful.

Exellent service and professionalism

I most sincerely recommend S.Nalbandian. I am extremely happy with the service and professionalism that I have receive from Sassoun. We had to fight case for deportation in front of judge and Sassoun was extremely knowledgeable as to how win our case and case was won. He also prepared my case f...or citizenship . He was always there to help and quick replies and excellent, honest communication with me. He has all the professional skills to solve any kind of problem, but also human qualities that make you trust him and know, that you are in good hands. I am very grateulf for all of his advice and help. God bless. THANK YOU.

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. I've red all reviews here and have to say that I feel all the good ones are fake and wholeheartedly agree with the negative one. My experience with this attorney was hell. I couldn't reach h...im sometimes for 3 weeks and when he finally answered the phone,the first thing he asked was about money. Not discussing my case or defense strategy,it was always a demand for more money. Otherwise,he was threatened me to not show up at court. Can you imagine how traumatizing was it? His so called legal assistance led to loosing my case and spending 11 month in jail. Very incompetent,dishonest and greedy lawyer charging big money for nothing. He doesn't care if he will win or loose your case, as soon as he gets your money,he will forget about you and your needs. ,he will be hustling a new client . I strongly suggest to any potential clients of mr.Nalbandian to think twice before hiring him, if you don't want to loose your case, money and faith in people. Learn from my mistakes.

Thank 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.
