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.

Aziz Asmar
Replied last January 23, 2025The 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!"

"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"

His skills and understanding of the immigration system is unmatched, and proven by his success rate.

Aziz is backed by an amazing staff who all work hard for their clients, ensuring a successful outcome.
