Thank you so very much Attorney Aziz from Ahmed Alkafajei and his family.

Aziz Asmar is very courteous and highly skillful immigration Lawyer. He was instrumental in the successful conclusion of our asylum application. We as a family are very grateful to him.

Highly recommended if you're looking for excellence and professionalism

If you want a lawyer who genuinely cares about your case, look no further! From the very first consultation, attorney Aziz Asmar demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and genuine commitment to helping me navigate my case by providing me with clear and concise guidance every step of the way. I... highly recommend him to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer.

Julius E. Jaboro, a great attorney

I had an asylum case with a different lawyer. The case was referred to the court for removal proceeding. I then hired attorney Julius E. Jaboro to take over my case. Mr. Jaboro was beyond professional. He was very knowledgeable, he explained everything to me in details. He helped me step by step.... Mr. Jaboro's advice were spot on. Because of his great help, I won asylum at the court. This man is very honest, humble, and very knowledgeable about his profession and specialty. Furthermore, the staff at Aziz Asmar's office were very organized, responsive, and knowledgeable.

My biggest regret

I went for asylum as Palestinian case and he wasn’t aware of their problem he brought up economic crises rather than bring up homeland loss problem case was denied easily for lack of knowledge

Aziz Asmar

Replied last January 23, 2025

The claims in this review do not align with my records or the level of service I provide to my clients. The name associated with this review does not match anyone in my client database, and the statements made about my knowledge and handling of Palestinian asylum cases are not accurate. As an attorney, I am deeply committed to understanding the unique circumstances of each client's case and advocating for them to the fullest extent of the law. If you were a client of mine and have concerns, I encourage you to contact me directly so we can address them, not defame me and potentially discourage others from seeking a highly professional and knowledgeable attorney for their case.

"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!"
