Great lawyer; U Visa

Ashwani and Suman are both great at immigration cases. My husband got his green card through u visa. Suman was always very helpful walked us through all the steps from the very beginning to the end; from applying for u visa to applying for adjustment of status for his green card. Ashwani is straight ...forward and listens to the clients, well experienced lawyer. Suman knew how to answer every one of our questions and communicated to us exactly what she needed from us and helped us with completing applications. I highly recommend this lawyer. Staff is great and very kind.

Ashwani Bhakhri is a good Attorney... But Beware of the lady at the front desk

I know Ashwani bhakhri through one of my friend who helped him with his immigration case and i met him for few occasions when i recommended and took 3 diffrent friends of mine to him, i saw that he is Nice, Honest, straightforward and very helpful person. Had gone to Ashwani's office to get my fam...ily's green card paperwork done and Aswani was not in the office and met his office staff Suman singh at that time and told her that i had come to do my paperwork ,And that time she offered me to get my work done outside office with her at a cheaper rate. To save some money i did the paper with her outside the office and because of her mistake my whole paperwork got denied I lost my money, time and now i have to do the whole paper work again and spend more money. Not only this i thought she was charging me less but i realised that she charged me a huge amount Suman had also asked me to let my friends know if they want any of their paperwork done like green card, citizenship, EAD etc.. and contact her personally outside and she will get done for cheap. I learnt a lesson BEWARE of such people

Superb

I would like to thank Ashwani bhakhri for helping me in my immigration case. It is been a great experience working with a lawyer. No surprises. Honest, straightforward and trustworthy service. Could not expect anymore. I do not think any attorney could do my case. It is was very difficult and complic...ated. I recommend people to ashwani bhakhri. My wife and I express gratitude to ashwani bhakhri and his staff. From no where, I am now a green card holder. Thank you ashwani bhakhri for great job. My wife and I are indebted to you. Superb lawyering.

PROUD OF MY LAWYER

I got new life line. My attorney worked very hard to keep me in the United States. I used two names. Applied asylum under two different names. Lied to immigration. I am telling others not to do anything wrong. Be honest with immigration. I do not want others to do what I have done. If I would not hav...e Mr. Bhakhri as my attorney, I would have gone back to India. I had Jobe as my attorney before. The best is Mr. Bhakhri. He knows what it takes to do a most complicated case. He takes all the time to listen the client. He knows how to set a plan. He does not care about money. He is most concerned about the case. Money is secondary for him. Mr. Bhakhri is compassionate, caring, human, and very hard working guy. I am glad to pick him up over several other attorneys to do my case. He has saved me and my family. I family would have been on the street, if my case would have been denied. The credit goes to Mr. Bhakhri and his entire team and office staff. They treated me like a family. They always gave me strength and courage. If anybody has complicated immigration matter, i ask to contact Bhakhri office. I like to thank Mr. Bhakhri for his hard work.
