Best Lawyer ever!

Highly satisfied with the way that Mr. Ashkan and his team took care of our process. Every time we ask something he was proactive and replied/answered right away. We could not have chosen a better law firm. Thank you very much for everything.

Emigration from the UK to USA

My experience of working with this law firm has been second to none. They are professional, thorough and communicate well with you. The main man here is Ashkan Yekrangi. He is not just a great immigration specialist but also one of the nicest people you'll meet. He takes time to understand every indi...vidual situation and knows how to overcome every hurdle that you may encounter during your immigration process. I worked with him and his team for over a year. They made the process so smooth and stress free. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs advice and support to emigrate to the USA. They will help you every step of the way and will always deliver a positive result. Take my word. I know. Thank you guys. I wouldn't be in the USA if it wasn't for you and your amazing service.

Won my case

I hired Mr. Yekrangi for a detained immigration case, as I was in deportation proceedings. I was in a very bad situation, but Mr. Yekrangi would assure me that he would do everything he possibly could to help me be out of ICE custody soon. He was patient, kind, and understanding. He spent a lot of ti...me on my case and fought for me in court to get me out of ICE custody. He truly cared about me and my case, unlike any lawyer has. After he was able to get me out of custody, he was able to win my case by getting asylum, so that I could get my green card back! My case was very tricky and had difficult circumstances, but even with all of that Mr. Yekrangi was still able to get me asylum. His hard work and dedication changed my life for the better and gave me a chance to live in the United States. I am forever thankful for his hard work on my case. He gave me my hope back. He is a lawyer who really wants the best for his clients and cares for them. He was always there to answer any questions that I had for him. Thank you Mr. Yekrangi!

Best attorney ever!!!!

I was recommended to hire Mr. Ashkan from one of my best friends to have help with the status of my husband here in the United States. He made us feel genuinely cared for since day one, he always responds to our messages in a timely manner. It was also very easy to make appointments and he would alwa...ys keep us updated on anything that would happen. My main thing is having communication weather its good or bad and he was always there with answers whenever we had questions and always prepared us for the next step. I highly recommend Ashkan Yekrangi and his kind staff for your immigration needs. I have already told couple of my friends as well. I am positive that he is able to assist you just the way he did for my husband and I.

Trustworthy, highly skilled IMMIGRATION LAW ATTORNEY with sharp legal mind, superb problem resolution skills, flexible pricing

Mr. Yekrangi is one of those lawyers who is a problem solver, having logical approach to your problem, and starting to work on your issue the minute you step into his office, without delays of beating around the bush. Out of 4 attorneys whom I approached for initial consultation, I selected Mr. Yek...rangi to be my legal advisor. Here are the reasons why. Firstly, he was the only one who gave me a positive feedback and actual means for resolution of my query right on the first meeting in his office. Secondly, he is having a very humane approach, friendly understanding attitude and is capable to look at your case from different angles and to give you top notch professional legal advice. Thirdly, his pricing strategy is flexible. He will save your money, will give you a sense of protection and will resolve your case the fastest and the most efficient way possible. I got a feeling that he genuinely cares about his clients because he wants them to be truly satisfied with legal services and advice he is providing to them. No surprise that he is having a busy legal practice! Mr. Yekrangi is an attorney whom you TRUST the first minute you step into his office. Without any reservation I would recommend Mr. Yekrangi for any of your legal needs in the field of immigration law. With respect and GRATITUDE, Alina.

"Ashkan is brilliant, compassionate, and a relentless advocate. I have never known a more inspiring attorney. Ashkan's priority is to put immigrants' rights first. He weighs and executes every case carefully so that no immigrant would be compromised with sloppy lawyering (which unfortunately is all too common when greed gets in the way of representation). Ashkan's heart is as big as his brain, which is rare in the legal community. It is an absolute privilege to work and know Ashkan."

Avvo Rating

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.
