Posted by Secil | August 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Professional and clever.

She was very helpful in all of my situations, whether i had questions about my status or about visiting my home town and the steps needed to do so. I highly recommend to speak and consult with her if you are having any trouble, she will guide you every step of the way and make you feel comfortable ab...out any questions asked.

Professional, experienced and engaged

Begum, guided us through every step of our Permanent Residence application process. She took all of the worry and confusion out of a very process that could normally be very stressful and complicated. With her advice and support we had zero hiccups or even requests for additional information. The ent...ire process went incredibly smoothly with no surprises. We looked into lots of websites promising help with the immigration process but none of them seemed like they'd do much more than give you your money back in the case of problems. In a process as important as immigration which has the potential to split up families one has a lot to lose and I'm extremely happy we enlisted the support of Begum. She was engaged in every step of the process and we never felt like we didn't know what was going to happen and we never had to worry. Thanks Begum!

Excellent Service-Naturalization Application

We hired Begum for my wife's naturalization application. home. She did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. Very professional, knowledgeable and diligent. She was always available for our questions, even on the weekends. We felt very informed and confident. I would highly recommend her....

Great and proffesional

Begum handled my L1 extension. She was systematic, open minded and very professional. She genuinely cared about the outcome and went out of her way to help me and guide me though the process. I would definitely recommend her to everyone searching for a lawyer.

Great attorney who resolved our legal issue quickly and effectively

Begum Benchimol recently assisted us when our previous landlord did not return our rental deposit after we had bought a house and moved. After a couple of months trying to handle the matter ourselves with no progress, we hired Begum to assist us and thank goodness we did. She knew the relevant laws a...nd our rights as renters and promptly laid our our options. She then quickly resolved the issue in our favor effectively and efficiently without us having to go to court with minimum drama and stress. We felt like she owned our problem and did everything she could to help us succeed. Begum was always available and accessible to us and we felt lucky to have such a fantastic attorney on our side. We highly recommend Begum and will personally contact her again if we ever need legal assistance on another matter.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
