Humble. Charismatic. Eminently talented. That is Aziz in a nutshell. And he happens to be one of the foremost immigration and asylum attorneys in the country. I have referred a number of individuals to his firm over the years and heard nothing but rave reviews. His staff is second-to-none. Knowledgeable, polite, and fully engaged. Not easy to find these days. Aziz and his firm are first rate, top to bottom. I endorse him without reservation.

I've enjoyed a professional relationship with Mr. Asmar since 2004 and I can personally attest to his qualifications. He is extremely meticulous in his work and truly cares about the outcomes of his cases. His staff is not only courteous, but also responsive to the needs of his clients. Setting aside these praises, what truly distinguishes Mr. Asmar from other immigration attorneys is his awareness of certain intricacies within Middle Eastern culture which gives him a major advantage over other lawyers. Mr. Asmar was raised in Iraq under Saddam Hussein’s regime. He is in a unique position to apply his life experiences to his own cases. His perfect command of the Arabic language coupled with his familiarity of Middle Eastern culture allows him to provide the best possible representation. This, in my opinion makes him the best Asylum attorney in the country. If you’re looking to maximize your chances of winning your case, hire him immediately!

I have known Aziz for over 10 years. We have been friends and colleagues in the immigration bar, and we are in contact frequently. Aziz is an expert in asylum cases, particularly for clients from the Middle East. He is so immersed in his practice area that he is my go-to source when I have questions about current procedures at asylum offices throughout the U.S. He is quickly becoming a nationwide expert in asylum law and practice. Aziz is extremely personable and knowledgeable. He cares about his clients deeply. With his shared cultural background and language skills, Aziz is able to communicate extremely effectively with his clients. I highly recommend Aziz's services. Sincerely, Ginger
