Review Nassim Arzani

Best Attorney EVER!

Posted by WilliamMon Oct 25 2010

Nassim helped my wife immigrate from Australia. This was done with no snags. She came to the hearings and was with us every step of the way. She returned all calls and stuck to her original quote (yeah, she actually gave us a quote of how much it was going to cost).
Nassim Arzani's response: Thank you William, I am glad we were able to help :)

After 7 years I was able to fix my status

Posted by A.V.Tue Jun 28 2011

Lawyer Arzani explain to me that I qualified under the 245i to adjust my status in the the U.S. which contradicted the erroneous advice of other immigration attorneys gave me, not to mention the exorbitant amount of money they wanted to take my case and send me to my home country to do a consular to face a 10 year bar from the United States, according to the current law. Fortunately enough, I was able to stay in the country during the whole process thanks to attorney Arzani and not too long ago my permanent residence was granted. Attorney Arzani is a very reliable trustworthy attorney that will not lie to its clients and will try exhaust all possibilities to help her clients. I highly recommend her services because throughout those seven years it took for my case to be resolved I encountered many immigration attorneys that just wanted to make money at the expense of those in need. La abogada Arzani me explico que tenía la posibilidad de arreglar mi situación migratoria en los Estados Unidos ya que estaba protegido por la ley 245i. Antes de haber visitado las oficinas de la abogada tuve la oportunidad de entrevistarme con otros abogados y lo único que me dijeron fue que debía que salir a mi país de origen para así poder arreglar mi situación migratoria por medio del consulado y posiblemente enfrentar una penalidad de 10 años. Sin mencionar las fuertes sumas de dinero que pedían por tomar mi caso. Afortunadamente fue todo lo contrario con la abogada Arzani porque no tuve que salir del país durante el proceso y recientemente mi residencia permanente me fue concedida. Yo recomiendo a la abogada Arzani porque sin ella no hubiera podido arreglar mi situación, además es una persona que busca siempre el bienestar de sus clientes y esta dispuesta a agotar todas las opciones posibles para ayudar a sus clientes. La avvocata Arzani mi spiegho che esistia una possibilita per me di aggiustare mi situazione degli Stati Uniti secondo la legge 245i. Ricordo che prima a parlare con la avvocata Arzani, avevo parlato con altre avvocati e tutti me dicono che la unica alternativa era ritornare al mio paese con la possibilita di essere escluido degli Stati Uniti per dieci anni. Afortunatamente, grazie al consiglio della avvocata Arzani tutto il procedimento fu finito negli Stati Uniti. Io altamente raccomando alla avvocata Arzani perche lei e affidibile e sempre e al servizio dei clienti.
Nassim Arzani's response: Thank you for your kind words. I told you it would be possible to adjust your status in the United States and it was. I'm glad you found us when you did ;)
