Review

I hired her for my brother's immigration case. She was very helpful throughout the case and she worked at a really fast pace. I'm really impressed by the way she handled the case and she is still my attorney for the rest of the case proceedings.

B2 Visa Letter

I contacted Nilima regarding drafting a B2 visa letter for my cousin and his wife. She was very accommodating. I scheduled an appointment and she drafted the letter the same day. She was professional and she made me feel special. As a matter of fact, I will be using her to draft my will. I highly rec...ommend her.

an upcoming great immigration lawyer

nilima shah was our lawyer , who represented our immigration case for green card and subsequently for our citzenship . my husband and I have nothing but great admiration for her the way she diligently and conscientiously prepared our case. her paper work and preparation of our individual files was fl...awless and she gave all the time in the world to answer any questions we had and for this i admire her patience . besides she is extremely considerate and always accommodative , hence our green card case was approved without any hitch or delay and we were so well satisfied by her performance that we went back to her to apply for our citizenship. we can say without a doubt that if you need a competent , hard working lawyer with integrity and decency then undoubtedly it is nilima shah.

Attorney helped me get a low bond and got me out quickly

I was in detention and hired NILIMA Shah. She travelled from CA to AZ and met me in person within 3 days. She filed my papers and called my family every step of the process and appeared in person for my hearing when she could do so by phone. She got me the lowest bond possible and right after hear...ing, she immediately called my family, gave them all instructions, address and info. about how to and where to post a bond. I would have been stuck in detention for weekend if she didn't help my family with all the info. she gave on how to post it and where. After I was out, she answered every call and helped me with all the questions even though I am not her client anymore. She really cares about her clients. I recommend everybody to go to her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Nilima for a number of years. Because I am a spanish speaking attorney I receive a number of immigration related questions from my clients that I refer to Mrs. Shah. In addition I was extremely impressed to hear Mrs. Shah's own story of migration to the US and the manner in which she became an immigration attorney shows that she is 100% invested in her practice. For these reasons it makes it simple to refer clients to her with full confidence."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"We had the privilege of a brief stint with Nilima before she became an attorney. Even back then, she was extremely knowledgeable both about immigration law and about local procedures and practices. Since she opened her practice, she has really excelled and raised the bar for immigration practice in the Inland Empire."
