Expert in Immigration Cases

Mr. Abusharar is a great lawyer and very expert in immigration cases. He is very friendly, honest, and straightforward. My first consultation with him was long and meaningful. After asking me few background questions about myself, he gave me all the options I had with precision and confident. He reco...mmended me one of the options and asked me to think it over then come back to him If I made up my mind. I am glad that I went back to him and followed his lead which granted me approval on my case. Thank you Mr. Abusharar.

Abol grant assylum

Working with Akram abusharar was an absolute pleasure. he helped me and my family to grant our asylum case . he is a consummate professional and knew his way around the laws and procedures extremely well - way above my expectation. His fees were reasonable and his scheduling adaptive to our needs . ...Every step of the process was meticulously detailed by him and everything we did scrutinized. You will be surprised how much effort Mr. Akram puts in your case and what a great job he does, I was never nervous or worried throughout the process because Mr. Akram made sure everything was perfectly in order. All our process went perfectly smooth. I could not imagined having done the process without him. and special thanks to his attorny LUIS he is so responsive and extremely knowledgeable person in abusharar office , He makes sure that every word and every statement will be supported in your case. I highly recommend using Abusharar to everyone who wants to see a good result and deal with a professional and decent attorney.

Zero stars

Careless, not honest,disrespectful, he did not do what he should as attorney, didn’t follow my case from beginning,He told me you need at least three years to get interview only ,I failed him and took the interview with approval through two months.

It saddens me to see this review, from the first day you came to our office we have tried in every way possible to help you and your family. When you filed your application for relief, we informed you the current wait time was three years, however we also informed you that it would be possible to request a faster interview if there is a documented medical condition. Our firm always encourages people to go on Wednesday's and see if they have any available dates in order to expedite the case, the wait time today is still 4-5 years for people who applied in the same time frame as you. You went and requested an expedite on your own and they granted you your expedite for interview, you were subsequently granted your form of relief soon after. You mentioned many negative things in your review which I will not get into or discuss because this is not the place for that, however you never mentioned in your review that our office prepared all the necessary documents in order for your case to be granted, as it was not granted only because you went and requested a sooner interview date. You also did not mention that our office was the one that withdrew from representation prior to the interview for reasons we would rather not mention.

Good Lawyer

I hired attorney Akram Abusharar for my asylum case 3 years and was very successful in a short time then I referred him 9 clients and all their cases went smooth and all are happy with his service. He is very honest, knowledgeable and he is an expert in Asylum.

BEST IN THE FIELD OF ASYLUM LAW

Ok well, I was with a different lawyer before I appoint Mr. Akram, and lets just say my previous lawyer had no idea on situation regarding my case (Asylum Case), they had me (old lawyer) prepare my decleration my self, prepare all the documents and put everything together BY MY SELF and everytime I a...sked them to see if there is any changes or amendments to be done their response was " It looks great, keep it as it is " which turns out after waiting almost a year and a half that they did nothing other than the regular filing (which I could do on my own), and every time I asked or inquired about updates, their generic response was " still pending " without no explanation.... then I stated meeting people who filed after I did, had their interviews too and some of them were approved I was SHOCKED !!! the name that time was rapidly repeated was " Akram Abu Sharar " .... each and every single person I asked regarding same case conditions said : Akram Abu Sharar (knowing the facts they were different nationalities) and I am a Syrian national and I had very good feed back from different individuals who worked with Mr. Akram so I said why not !!! I called the office and they were very nice and friendly when I asked to talk with Mr. Akram (not your typical money hunger/greedy lawyers) I talked to him directly, gave him a brief about my situation and he asked me for more details and to come over to his office to discuss my case. I did visited him with my family and told him about my case and it felt I was living in a different world,,,, first of all, he did not charge me a penny for his consultation, second, he gave me facts, statistics and updates regarding my asylum more than what I heard in almost two years !!! This gentlemen knows what is he doing, he handled hundreds of asylum cases, he is full aware of what is really happening on grounds with countries that have conflicts (Especially Syrians) and many of those I met were Syrians as well. His experience makes you feel comfortable knowing that IF you follow his instructions (as I did) and were prepared by him for your case/interview, you better know unless you are a very thick headed brain or simply moron (sorry for this expression) but this is the only reason in my opinion that a person would be rejected !!! Mr. Akram has been practicing many years ago...(saw many certificates and awards in his desk when I visited him) plus add the fact that he practiced in different states as well (and welling to represent clients in different states as well). People might be surprised that I'm writing this huge review but believe me this is the least I can do after suffering and waiting for my interview (which I had to wait close to 3 years in California - Southern California) and thanks god after all this waiting and after all the preparation with Mr. Akram and his associates I conducted my interview and today (10/20/2016) I had my decision with APPROVAL !!!!! One of the happiest moments in my life and I strongly advise those people out there who are wondering around looking for legit lawyer, STOP, take my advise, go see Mr. Akram and you won't regret it !!! The only loss I had in this process is the money I paid for my previous lawyer (which they refused to refund me) And I have to mention this to all those people who are saying that he is greedy and stuff, well he is NOT !!! first, he charge me less than half of what the previous lawyer requested, second, I paid him down payment up front and another payment before the interview (which was not in full yet and I didn't have the full amount to pay when the date of interview came and he agreed that I pay them after in a form of installments !!! so there is nothing more to say ,,, IF YOU REALLY NEED YOUR CASE TO BE HANDLED IN A GOOD MANNER, THEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO MR. AKRAM ,,,, Feel free to contact me regarding any information that you need ... Good luck,,, Mazen
