Raihana Niazi

She did an amazing job preparing a complete package for uscis so i could obtain my Permament Residence. The entire process took only 2 1/2 months from start to finish. The interview went very smooth because she had already sent all documents and evidence needed prior to my appointment. GREAT LAWYER!...

Before writing this review there is a question "Would you recommend this lawyer? Yes or No." What was missing in the case was the option to click "In a heartbeat" because this is what I thought when I was answering that question, "I would recommend Raihana in a heartbeat." I never thought I would... be filing BK (yeah, by the end of this you are just saying BK and not bankruptcy). In general, sorry Raihana, I have a pretty deep distrust of lawyers and have always wanted to stay as far away from courtrooms as possible, but Raihana was recommended by a friend I trust a lot. After meeting with Raihana for a consultation I realized that BK was the only way to protect myself after a series of unfortunate and just plain bad financial decisions. I was nervous though. Over the next few months Raihana always went out of her way to explain things and assuage my fears. When we finally made it to the hearing with the trustee, there were some things that I didn't really disclose properly about a joint account I had, not because I was trying to hide anything, but because I just had in my mind that I didn't have to disclose that to Raihana or the court. Well, it made for a lot of work after the fact because now the trustee wanted signature cards, past statements etc. Raihana said not to worry that we just had to present it to the trustee properly and everything would be fine. Raihana met with me at the bank twice and very professionally handled it all. She also wrote the bank manager a recommendation for the Senior Officer that helped us. She took the time to make sure everything was perfect and presented it to the trustee. She did such a good job the trustee took the next hearing off of the calendar (three weeks ago). And this morning I received a copy of the email from the trustee saying it's all good, but here is a clip from it that I was very glad to read: "having been appointed trustee of the estate of the above-named debtor(s), report that I have neither received any property nor paid any money on account of this estate; that I have made a diligent inquiry into the financial affairs of the debtor(s) and the location of the property belonging to the estate; and that there is no property available for distribution from the estate over and above that exempted by law." I know this is a long review, but it was really hard for me to go down this road. I feel that Raihana was really a godsend. As I wait for the discharge, I am comfortable that my case has been presented in an excellent and competent manner. So if I had to do it again, I would choose Raihana in a heartbeat. One last thing, in the Trustee hearing I saw a lot of clients with their attorneys. You could tell most of them were there 'working' and some were almost rude in the treatment of their client. I felt like I was sitting there not just with my attorney, but someone who actually cared about me and not just my case. I think that's pretty hard to find, but don't think she's a softie, I saw her be as tough as nails getting the bank to write letters and do research to answer the trustees questions.
