GOOD MAN AND GOOD LAWYER

I was on the verge of being deported from the United States. My asylum case was denied by all the courts. I was running out of time. I had my 80+ years old mother who was fully dependent on me. She was sick. I was lost. I had representation from Sekhon & Sekhon and then I hired Martin Guajardo. They ...represented me very poorly. I was packing up to go to India, leaving my mother behind at the mercy of God. A friend then told me about Mr. Ashwani Bhakhri. I spoke to him. I liked him. I decided to hire him. He was my last hope. I did not want my mother to suffer. She did not want to go to India. We had no help. What I liked about Mr. Bhakhri is that he talks straight. He made me to tell the truth. My previous attorneys misguided me. I tell people to hire attorneys very carefully. Mr. Bhakhri's hard work paid off. My case is reopened and it is back to theimmigraton judge. I have hope. My mother has hope. About Mr. Bhakhri's work, it is excellent. He is good. I am very happy. MY case was impossible. It was complicated. I had no hope. If I m here to day, It is because of Mr. Bhakhri's excellent work. Thank you sir.

GOOD LAWYER

I am very happy with the work my lawyer has done for me. I am sixteen years old. I came from India. At border, I was arrested. I was put in deportation proceedings. My lawyer brought my case to the asylum office. I was interviewed. My case was granted. My lawyer kept me fully informed about the devel...opments of my case. I was prepared well. After preparation, I felt good and prepared for the interview. My attorney is very knowledgeable. He is honest and very forthright. He never gave me false hope. He told me that he believes in hard work and that is all he can do. He told me that the result is not in his hands. He spent between 15-20 hours to prepare me. I feel blessed. I recommend Mr. Bhakhri to one and all. He is a person with heart. My family and friends are happy. Mr. Bhakhri's staff is very helpful. I would like to state that Ms. Venu Bhakhri is exceptionally intelligent. She accompanied me to the asylum office. She is very through. Mr. Bhakhri's staff is very helpful. Thankkkkyouuuuuuuuuuuu.

Best Lawyer

I am Vishal. I am writing this review for incredible work Mr. Bhakhri and his office lawyers have done for me. I am not reluctant to say that my case was very complicated and one of the most difficult. I have been in the US almost seven years. My case was denied by the immigration judge in San Franci...sco. I lost all the hope. I had no hope. Because of Mr. Bhakhri's excellent representation, strategy, and hard work, my case is still alive, now back to the immigration judge. I am hopeful that I will soon be out of deportation. Thanks to Mr. Bhakhri and his office staff for excellent work. Mr. Bhakhri is one of the most candid attorneys I have met in my life. He is amazing, very knowledgeable, he knows what he is doing. He does not give false hopes. He tells you on your face if you have a good case or if there is any hope. My wife, daughter and I are extremely greatful to Mr. Bhakhri.

very good lawyers

I am Carlos. I feel very happy to work with the Law Offices of Ashwani Bhakhri in the process of I-601A (Provisional Waiver) application for my wife. I had experience working with my attorneys. I recommend my attorneys to others as they are trustworthy and exceptionally experienced in immigration mat...ters. Before coming to Mr. Bhakhri, I had another lawyer who took three years and did nothing. Mr. Bhakhri's office got me the result just in 6 months. I am now relaxed. My wife is extremely happy. Mr. Bhakhri and Mr. Siguenza are too good in immigration matters. The office staff is great. I found the office atmosphere very homely. I highly recommend Mr. Bhakhri to others.

GOOD JOB AND I AM VERY HAPPY

I am Daljinder and I am delighted to right this review for Mr. Bhakhri because he has done a superb job. I retained Mr. Bhakhri in 2008 and applied for asylum. I was represented in removal proceedings by Venu Bhakhri. I must say that she was thoroughly prepared. She knew all the facts. I was fully pr...epared. The office did a great job. While my asylum application was pending, I got robbed at my work place. Mr. Bhakhri suggested that I pursue U-Visa. I agreed. Now, USCIS approved my U-Visa case. My wife and son's case got approved too. Thank you Mr. Bhakhri and his office for uniting my family. All the attorneys in Mr. Bakhri' office are credible good and very knowledgeable. I recommend them to all.
