He is a super lawyer. His staff is very helpful. They have treated me like I am one of their family members. They took pain for me. Mr. Bhakhri is candid and sincere.

Heavy Weight

I was put in removal proceedings. I had green card. My green card was taken away because of a criminal conviction. I received connviction within 5 years of the date of admission in the US. I retained the Law Offices of Ashwani K. Bhakhri who helped me in the court. The Immigration Judge denied my cas...e. Mr. Bhakhri filed an appeal. The appeals court retunred my case to the immigration judge. Mr. Bhakhri filed a motion to terminate the proceedings which the immigration judge granted. Because of Mr. Bhakhri's smart plan, I have been able to keep my green card. I did not realize that a criminal conviction can put me in that big trouble. Mr. Bhakhri is experienced and hard working attorney. He is honest, sincere and candid. His staff is very helpful. My family and I are thankful to Mr. Bhakhri for helping me to keep my green card. I recommend people to go to Mr. Bhakrhi, especially, those who have criminal convictions.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE

I got my asylum case granted after being in the United States for 22 years. I came to the US in 1991. I retained two other attorneys before hiring Mr. Bhakhri. Prior to Mr. Bhakhri, I had Attorney Kaiser and Kaufman. They represented me before immigration judge. Mr. Bhakhri represented me before Immi...gration Judge, Brian Simpson, The Board of Immigration Appeals, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Bhakhri win my appeal from 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The case came back to the Immigration Judge. I knew from day one that my asylum claim is week. Mr. Bhakhri's hard work and sharp litigation skills turned the tables around. Mr. Bhakhri is highly professional, good in court and always stick to his position and is always on the client side. I am so impressed with his knowledge about immigration laws. He is very professional. I call him a "fighter". Mr. Bhakhri's staff is very helpful.

Excellant Lawyer

I was ordered deported from the United States. I had hired few attorneys before I met Mr. Bhakhri. Today, I am in staus. I have two teenage daughters. I was always afraid of Immigration. ICE arrested me. Mr. Bhakhri helped me getting stay from Deportation. Subsequently, he got my U-visa approved. I n...ever thought that I can leaglly stay in the United States. Because of Mr. Bhakhri's excellant work, I am with my children and I enjoy legal status. I highly recommend Mr. Bhakhri for immigration services. He is very knowledgeable.

LAWYER WITH DISTINCTION

i had three lawyers before retaining my present lawyer, Mr. Bhakhri. I was detained by ICE because I had final order of deportation. My asylum case failed. All the appeals failed. I was put in jail. I was to be deported in few days when my wife sought assitance from Mr. Bhakhri. He was able to facili...ate my release from ICE custody. Then he pursued U-visa application on my behalf. It was extremely difficult, but Mr. Bhakhri was able to win my case. Today, I got work permit for 4 years, I will be able to get my greeen card soon. I am happy that I am with my family. Mr. Bhakhri has saved me. He is knowleable in immigration matters. He is just superb. My wife, children and I are thankful to Mr. Bhakhri and his outstanding and professional staff.
