Very honest and trustworthy

A honest and authentic legal expert that follows through

I can't speak enough to the professionalism, immense knowledge, and dedication that Roxana applies to her trade as an attorney. I had contacted over 30 law firms, big and small, to assist me with a complex immigration case caught in the intersection of immigration and criminal law. Unlike all other firms, Roxana was incredibly responsive, listened carefully to my situation, and was able to share great insight. I contracted Roxana to handle my immigration case. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Literally. Because of her assistance, I can now fulfill the American Dream..... As a result of Roxana's hard work and expertise, USCIS approved my application and I was given the best possible outcome. I truly believe this would not have been the case with any other firm. If you want someone who will fight to get you the best possible outcome in her areas of expertise, call Roxana.

Very honest and trustworthy

Roxana is the most honest and trustworthy lawyer I have ever met. She has saved me so much time and money outside of court. She is very educated in every legal matter I have had. Roxana is far from your typical lawyer looking to keep your matter lingering in the court system. She completes everything in a timely manner and sets proper expectations on the possible outcomes and time frames. I highly recommend her and have already referred my family and friends to her.

Great Lawyer

I recently needed to find a lawyer to help me with establishing parentage after my son's father passed away. My son's father passed away before I was able to establish that he was father, therefore; my son was being denied survivor benefits by social security. My case was so unique and complicated that I was repeatedly turned away by multiple lawyers. I then posted my case. After a few days, Ms. Amini contacted me and after hearing my case agreed to help me free of charge. One can truly see how caring and compassionate Ms. Amini is in helping others. I have no words to explain how thankful and appreciative I am to Ms. Amini. Ms. Amini helped me and supported me during one of the most difficult moments in my life. Ms. Amini set time aside from her busy schedule to help me with my case, kept attention to detail, and maintained good communication. She kept me in the loop, and kept me updated throughout my case. Thanks to her I was able to successfully establish parentage very quickly. I would gladly recommend Ms. Amini to anyone without hesitation. Ms. Amini is an awesome lawyer! Thank you Ms. Amini for all your help and support during such a tough time!

What a great and supportive lawyer!

Thank you so much for all your help Ms. Amini! I never thought I needed a lawyer ever in my life but Roxana is a great lawyer that helped me on a problem with my previous employer. She took time out of her busy day to hear my story and decided to take it on after only a 10-minute conversation. She kept in contact with me the whole time, letting me know what I should do and if there were any updates. She is definitely someone I would recommend and go back to if I ever have any other legal troubles.

She is awesome!

She was very responsive, knowledgeable and on top of things. She helped us get our security deposit back from our landlord who had wrongfully kept our money. We were so thankful to have hired her. She is also gracious enough to do some pro bono work too.

Thank you!

Ms. Amini has made my legal problems so much easier to handle. She is caring, knowledgable, and made a dreadful experience comfortable to deal with. She gave me the facts and explained the procedure. I cannot get into the details of the two issues I had, one was a PI case, the other a business breech of contract issue. I spoke to multiple attorneys about both of these cases as they dragged on and Ms. Amini was the last and final attorney who brought peace into my life by giving me the honest truth in a situation where the other attorneys had been negligent and dishonest. I highly value Ms. Amini and am ever grateful for her invaluable legal advice and the her deep level of care of each of my issues.

such a lifesaver

Ms. Amini was fast,responsive,understanding of my situation and completely earned my confidence. I am always waiting for a hidden fee but EVERYTHING was straightforward. I am incredibly appreciative because she went above and beyond in what could've been done minimally,she took more time and effort. I'm safer because of her and am able to keep my business better protected with having her on MY side. I'm very happy she was introduced to my company.

A great Attorney

Roxana Amini is an amazing attorney; she helped me with a personal claim. She was very knowledgeable and provided several courses of action that I could take. I cannot say enough about her knowledge, professionalism, passion, and kindness. She is an attorney I trust and recommend to all of my friends and family. She seemed to truly care about my case, was passionate in her desire to help find the best course of action that suited my level of comfortableness. It is very refreshing to see an attorney like Roxana in practice. Thank you for your help, advice, confidentially, and kindness. I could not ask for a better attorney.
