This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A great attorney

Shadi helped my wife through her entire immigration process. She helped her get legal residency and then to become US citizen. From the beginning she laid out an exact plan of action and completed everything according to that plan. Shadi is honest, quick and responsive. If you are going through some ...part of US immigration process it is important to have the help and guidance of an experienced professional. Shadi is that professional. I highly recommend hiring her as an immigration attorney.

A+

A+ attorney. Shadi and Parham are extremely professional, diligent, courteous, respectful and best of all..PROMPT. They get back to you right away and Shadi truly has an analytical mind that emphasizes on logic and reasoning. If you are someone who is constantly "on-the-go" then you know how vital it... is to have other people respond to you promptly so that you can solve matters instead of "sitting on things". There should be more people like these two in the world, especially within the Persian population.

Best Lawyer I've Ever Had

The Law Offices of Shadi Sheidayi helped me and my family with our green cards. I have been to other immigration lawyers before, but they were so hard to deal with. I couldn't get a hold of them, they wouldn't explain the process along the way, and I just didn't feel comfortable. With The Law Offi...ces of Shadi Sheidayi, everything was amazing. She and her staff were ALWAYS responsive and provided so much guidance throughout the process that my family and I knew we were in great hands. I could not recommend this law firm enough for anyone who needs assistance with immigration. She simply is the best!

Excellent Attorney

I had a very difficult immigration case. Attorney Sheidayi was extremely diligent and professional. She kept me updated on a weekly basis on the progress of my case. I had a previous attorney who did not get anything done; Shadi pick up the pieces of my case and help me in obtaining my permanent resi...dent status. An all around quality immigration attorney.

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.
