This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Knowledgeable, Reliable Attorney who Genuinely Cares about Your Case!

Ashkan Yekrangi truly lives up to his reputation as a remarkable "Bar Certified" attorney, listed on the "Super lawyers" List of United States. I can't say enough positive things about Ashkan Yekrangi. I came to him with a very complicated case; but he took the time to thoroughly understand all the ...details and provided a clear path forward. In the end, he was able to achieve a positive outcome that I didn't think was possible.

Trust him and let him get the job done smoothly!

Ashkan is the best immigration lawyer I have ever had. He knows his job very well. I had a complicated case and we were not optimistic about the outcome. But, he managed it professionally, and we finally won the case with much ease to our surprise. I definitely recommend him and his hardworking team.... Not only he offers a great service, but also his fees are reasonable. You can trust him and let him get the job done smoothly.

Honest Lawyer

Though, l only had a consultation over the phone, l could sense the compassion and respect he had over my case. I was in my lowest point at the time, and l know he didn’t try to take advantage of the situation. Now, l know that he really try to help me, even though, l told him that l only needed a co...nsultation because l already had a lawyer.

Best immigration lawyer

Sent to a few consultations and I was so impressed with Mr. Yekrangi's knowledge of immigration law and the solutions he recommended. I felt at ease working with him and his team and my wife got her green card sooner than expected.

Absolutely exceptional lawyer!

I cannot thank Ashkan and his team enough for what they did for me, you cannot find a lawyer like him!! I would not have got my green card this quickly without his help, it is clear that he is in this to help people and this is more than just a job to him. To provide context, my green card was declin...ed due to not showing up for the interview - I actually never received the letter and this was lost in the mail. Ashkan responded to me straight away, after work hours when I was extremely stressed. He answered all my questions and saw me and my husband immediately. He reopened my case in a month, without having to go through with the I-290B that can take up to a year. I got my green card interview shortly after and now I have my permanent residence!! I could not have found a more empathetic, ethical and dedicated lawyer!! I would 100% recommend him to anyone, he is the best there is.

"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.
