About Aziz
Biography
Attorney Aziz J. Asmar has faced the challenges and reaped the rewards of fleeing to America from his war-torn country of Iraq. His journey, and the desire to better the lives of others, convinced Mr. Asmar to seek a profession helping people who have escaped various hardships to find peace and freedom. As such, becoming an immigration attorney came naturally to Mr. Asmar, and it soon became his passion.
Over the years, his tireless advocacy, unrivaled integrity, and genuine compassion for his clients have earned Mr. Asmar an outstanding international reputation.
For over a decade, Aziz has successfully helped resettle hundreds of families fleeing their homes for a better life. While his practice initially focused on asylum seekers and refugees, Mr. Asmar has expanded his practice over the years to include all aspects of immigration law, no matter how complex.
Having lived in Iraq, Jordan, Germany, and the United States, Mr. Asmar is a global citizen with an empathy for all cultures, making him the perfect ambassador between his clients and US immigration officials.
Mr. Asmar has successfully fought and won hundreds of cases nationwide before immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Unfair and unprofessional
I called Mr. Aziz for consultation regarding an asylum case. I paid him 200$ for thirty minutes consultation. I talked to him over the phone, I told him that I have prosecution case in the past. Aziz told me "don't worry, you are Iraqi and they consider that Iraqis are living in fear"!! which means...

Replied last August 20, 2016I regret you were not satisfied with the consultation and I want to clarify some points to make sure that we have understood each other. In my 13 years of working with the Iraqi asylum community, and based on the types of cases we've filed and the results we've gotten, Iraqis generally have very good asylum claims, in large part because of how bad the situation is in Iraq. That is an honest and accurate assessment based on hard numbers. I have never guaranteed a result in any case, let alone made a statement that merely being Iraqi will get you approved for asylum. I'll be more than happy to speak to you again to clarify these issues. Either way, I wish you the best of luck moving forward.

"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!"

Their success rates are unbelievable and you should look nowhere else if you are in need for an experienced and competent immigration attorney."
"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"
