Super attorneys

Today the immigration judge granted my case. The attorneys ashwani bhakhri and joe sigueza have been great and deserve all the credit for grant of my asylum application. They are the best immigration attorneys. I recommend people to this office. They are honest, dedicated, candid and helpful. They kn...ow the law and they what it takes to get the case granted. They kept me informed about everything involved in my case. I call them super attorneys. Staff is great. Secretary Suman very helpful. Never had trouble communicating with the attorneys. I was recommended to Mr. bhakhri by my cousin and many others. Thank Thank thank you Nr. Bhakhri

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.

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.

I got my green card today

I am happy today. My name is Thalia. I am from Mexico. I have been in the US since 1994. I got my green card today. I thank you attorney Bhakhri for excellant job. I always believed attorney Bhakhri. He is good lawyer. He is honest, candid, and is someone who would talk straight. If your case is bad,... he would like. If you have a chance to win, he would tell you. He does not take people's money by making false promises. I have heard from my friends about other lawyers, very bad stuff. People lost money, they lost time, they got nothing. I have referred people to attorney bhakhri, everybody is happy. Attorney Bhakhri was always around to talk to me. I walked into his office without appointment many many times, he would talk to me. I am happy today. I love his office staff. Bhakhri means "success." I never thought that I would get my green card. Now I am planning to go to Mexico to see my family after 21 years. Thank you attorney Bhakhri. LOL.

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.
