super

we hired Mr. Bhakhri one year before. We hired other attorneys before him. They could not do anything. Bhakhri did great job. My wife was here for more than 20 years. Bhakhri is good attorney. He took pain to help my wife. He is the best attorney. Several of his former clients recommended him to me. ...He did not disappoint me. My wife and me very happy. If anybody has complicated immigration case, go to Bhakhri office. Super super job

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.

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.

I am proud of my lawyer

I came to the United States in 2012 with my wife and two teenaged daughters. I wanted to apply for asylum. I wanted to find out about a good immigration attorney. I spoke to several people in my community. Each one of them (6-7 People) recommended me the name of Mr. Bhakhri. I retained him in Februar...y 2014. Mr. Bhakhri represented me before the asylum office. My asylum case I approved. My family and I are extremely happy. We are indebted to Mr. Bhakhri, his associates and staff for incredible representation. Mr. Bhakhri's is very knowledgeable. He is down to earth person. He treated us like his own family. I thank Mr. Bhakhri for his incredible representation. I highly recommend Mr. Bhakhri to others.
