He is highly recommendal

My father was placed in removal proceedings. He was in the United States. He entered on a different name. He was sent to a immigration judge. He did not appear. After staying in the US, he returned to India. After I became US Citizen, I sponsored him. He was going back and forth. He was stopped at th...e Airport last year. He was sent to the local office of Citizen and Immigration Service. Then they send him to the immigration judge. From day one, we hired Mr. Bhakhri to help us. He guided us through this nightmare. He helped us in a such a way that we did not feel the heat at all. He kept us composed and calm throughout. He listened us. He gave us more time than we could think of. I would say that he is excellent in communicating with his clients. He was recommended to me by several of his existing and present clients. I thank all who referred us to Mr. Bhakhri. He is highly recommendable. He is successful in getting the removal proceedings of my father terminated. I thank Mr. Bhakhri an his staff for helping us and treating us fairly. He is candid and say things on the face, you like it or not. I did not feel comfortable with what he was saying, but now I appreciate his frankness and honesty with his clients. He is one of the best in immigration field.

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 LAWYER I COMMEND TO OTHRERS

My wife and I entered the United States in 2000. We applied for asylum in the United States. My application for asylum was denied. Mr. McPherson in Sacramento represented me. Then I retained Mr. Bhakhri to represent me in removal proceedings. My wife and I are fully satisfied with Mr. Bhakhri' repres...entation throughout. He represented us before Immigration Judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. My case went to the Board and the9th Circuit Court of Appeals twice. In fact, it is still pending with the 9th Circuit. In the Interim, Mr. Bhakhri applied for U-Visa. USCIS took 2.5 years to adjudicate my application. Mr. Bhakhri' hardwork paid off. He is very good attorney. He knows lot about the immigration laws. He is very practical. He is always candid and honest. When I first retained him in 2002 or so, he told me frankly that my asylum claim is no good. He Is very experienced. I have heard lot good about him from my community. My wife and I are very happy. Mr. Bhakhri's staff is very accommodating. They all very good human beings. I have seen them giving their client's personal touch. I recommend people to Mr. Bhakhri only if they have complicated immigration matters.

BEST LAWYER

I came to the United States from Fiji in 2013. I met my Lawyer, Mr. Bhakhri, and told him about my difficulties and sought his assistance. He carefully review the facts and agreed to help me. Today, I received my decision from the United States Immigration and Citizenship Department. They approved my... application for asylum. Thank you Mr. Bhakhri for your incredible assistance. I would like to state that Mr. Bhakhri is not a good lawyer, but a very decent human being. He was very through in his preparation. He is very hardworking. He knew about the issues in my case. I highly recommend Mr. Bhakhri to all. His staff is great and very helpful. Once again, I thank you Mr. Bhakhri and his associate attorney, Venu Bhakhri, for all the help.

Immigration deportation poceedings

I am really satisfied with the services provided by Mr. Bhakri's law firm. I have received tremendous emotional and instrumental support from this law firm. I have been placed in deportation proceedings due to convictions, and this law firm took care of so many hurdles from there. Finally I got my... GC. I have noticed important thing about this law firm is, that there are no gimmicks and pretty responsible about what they need to do for my case. I have to give 100% credit to them about the briefs they put together to face the case. I really recommend this firm for any immigration related issues.
