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 ;)

Great attorney, fabulous person

Nassim is a great person, understands your needs. Coaches and guides you to success. Just this morning I was granted citizenship a process guided by Nassim for over 6 years. The court system is long and you might want to give in, but she will not give up on you. Let someone who truly understands the ...judicial system guide you in the right direction. Nassim there is a reason why I ended up at your door step. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for the review Luis. All of us at ALC are so happy for you! I told you from day one I will help you get your citizenship and we finally did! Your Court case took a while, thank you for trusting me and placing your life in my hands. Had a client last week tell me her family was upset with her because her cousin is an immigration attorney and instead she hired me to represent her. I know you had many choices, I feel honored you chose me to represent you. I'm glad I was able to get you a favorable outcome, it was worth the wait ;)

Flawless Victory

Dear Team, Nassim Arzani Our family wants to thank you so much for your expertise in this field. My wife and her family have been taken advantage by many lawyers "Claiming" we can help you, just for them to take their money and run. Every lawyer stating we must leave the country for 10 years, blah... blah blah. This is when I went to the internet and did hours and hours of research on immigration attorney's. Each and every time the name Nassim kept coming into the research. So, I spoke to the wife and her family and we all made a decision to give this another shot. Let me first start by saying, any lawyer who states they can create your case and assist you and only charging you $1000 is lying. Run, Run and Run. (Your fees alone for coming here illegally is already $1000 paid directly to the state. My wife came here when she was three with her mother and father. Both Father and Mother , obviously coming in illegally. When speaking with Nassim she assured us, yes, I can help you or I wouldn't take your case. She did just that. It only took Nassim and her awesome staff 6 months to complete my wife's case, wife's mothers case and fathers case. They all now have green cards and the blessing is. My wife's mother and father are in Mexico as we speak visiting with the loved ones they have not seen in 20 + years. Nassim, you are a true patriot and a lawyer with a pure, honest, loyal heart and passion to assist those who are here living in fear daily, Now they are, working, schooling, active members of this country. We stand and salute you Mrs. Arzani. You'll always have a special place in the hearts of those you help. I wish I had the power to tell every single person in this world about you, however, I cannot, so this is the best I can do. God bless you and every aspect of your life Nassim. With Love and Respect The Arredondo/BiggsFamily =-)
