Outstanding Immigration Lawyer

My wife and I are fortunate to have found Nassim; from the initial consultation and through the final step of getting the Adjustment of Status Nassim was extremely helpful. Her entire staff made us feel at ease with the whole process. We have consulted with countless paralegals and attorneys and t...hey provided no resolution or options. However Nassim told us, based on our situation my wife could Adjust Status within the U.S. this was wonderful news. A leader is nothing without a good team and Nassim is one of the great women leaders my wife and I admire. Her knowledge, experience, and compassion towards her clients is priceless. Her team was very friendly, easy to reach with either an email or phone call. Her knowledge and experience is an asset and well deserved investment in anyones life. With a warm heart we truly thank you for all your hard work that you and your team has done for our family.

Just saw this review, thank you so much Sergio. I couldn't be happier for you and Yesi! Your wife deserves to be in this country, she is such an amazing human being with so much to offer. I am truly happy for the two of you, I could see the joy on both of your faces after she received her approval. Thank you for choosing my firm to represent you with this process. I'm glad you shopped around and didn't go with the first attorney you met with. Please stay in touch with us, we are all very happy for your family.

Aggravated Felony

Nassim and her staff are wonderful, I'll tell you I had an extremely difficult case. My previous Immigration Attorney working my case was failing on all ends, I was in Immigration Custody for 10 months before my family and I decided to switch attorneys and we decided to give Nassim a chance. I had a ...final Merits hearing scheduled on 11/3/2014 and we decided to hire Nassim on October 8, 2014. I was expecting Nassim to ask for a continuance since my evidence and documents were due on October 15th. But Nassim understanding my situation and being away from my wife and daughter for as long as I have stated she would work day and night if she had to, to insure all documents were properly prepared and submitted to the court by our October 15th deadline. Nassim not only completed everything in a timely manner, she met with my family over a two day period to properly prepare them for the hearing, and spent over 3 hours with me. If it wasn't for Nassim I wouldn't be here today writing this review I would recommend Nassim to anyone who is in need of an Immigration Attorney. She is friendly, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable of the Immigration Laws.

I just saw your review, thank you so much for taking the time to write it. Your case was extremely difficult since you were convicted of an aggravated felony. Fortunately your family found me in time and I was able to turn things around. The Judge said you had the most difficult case he's seen in 25 years! Your case was also the most difficult case I had seen or even heard of. I'm glad we turned things around and found you the relief your previous attorney failed to discover. In her defense, your case was extremely difficult and the relief I found you was not something common and most people would not have known about it. Please stay in touch with our office and keep us posted on your progress. You are a very bright talented individual, I know you will go very far in life. If I didn't believe you were capable of turning your life around I would not have represented you. I wish you and your family the best ;)

Just amazing!

Nassim Arzani is the "Maestro" when it comes to immigration law. I've been in the U.S since 1992 as a resident alien & had ignored doing my citizenship for many years & over the years had got into some trouble as a young man in college & so on...finally about 6 years ago i applied for citizenship on ...my own & didn't get it. I then proceeded to speak to a few lawyers over the years which told me how complicated the process would be and blah blah blah so i just gave up since i already have a green card and thought i'm just fine with that. By a chance encounter i met Nassim about a year ago, and one day we spoke about my case, she simply told me "Tarek your already a citizen by BIRTH" of course i hate to say it but i thought she was crazy lol...finally a few months ago i said ok lets apply again, she once again told me how she knew an old law which applied specifically to my case...i felt this was too good to be true and hesitantly proceeded with her...but deep inside i felt we were wasting time using her method and we should just apply the traditional way...however lo & behold she was correct and i'm now officially an American citizen with my American passport which will make my travels so much simpler. Thanks Nassim, you are truly amazing!

Thank you Tarek for your review. I couldn't be happier for you. I'm glad you finally trusted me enough to have me do this for you despite being told by other attorneys you did not qualify ;) No more waiting in secondary inspection for you ;)

Finally approved after 9 years

Nassim and her team at ALC are phenomenal. I was introduced to her by my best friend after several attorneys had disappointed my wife and I. Although our case was complicated, Nassim was very positive and encouraging and assured us that her forte was complex and complicated cases, hence she could hel...p us. I guess she was right because within 3 months of hiring her our 9 year old case was finally approved. As much as her team is honest, compassionate, and dedicated, there is one thing that makes Nassim stand out; she just doesn't take whatever the USCIS writes. With her deep knowledge of the immigration law, Nassim checks whatever the USCIS writes with the law. If it's not in conformity she goes directly to their office and argues it out with them. For example in our case we were given a wrong notice of inadmissibility. Most of the lawyers we presented with this issue just said we should apply for waiver as suggested by the USCIS even though they knew there was no basis for the inadmissibility. When we approached Nassim, she immediately realized there was no basis for inadmissibility. She therefore ruled out any waiver but rather went to the office to challenge the basis of their letter. They accepted it was their mistake and withdrew it. My wife and I are so grateful to Nassim and her team for the good work they did for us. My wife and I will highly recommend Nassim and her team in a heart beat.

I couldn't be happier for the two of you! After 9 grueling years of battling with Immigration for something that should have only taken 6 months the most to accomplish, you finally obtained your residency. Your case was one of the most complex cases I've had the privilege of working on and I couldn't be happier for the fruitful outcome. You truly deserve it, welcome to the United States. I look forward to seeing you in another 3 years to file your naturalization. Meanwhile please stop by our office with your lovely wife, its always delightful to chat with the two of you ;)
