Too good

I am glad to write review for my lawyer who is the best. I am becoming lawful permanent resident in the US. I have been in the country since 1992. Been to many attorneys. No one did anything for me. Took my money. Bhakhri got me lawful status. He is hardworking attorney. No nonsense. Straight and hon...est. Love the law office

Good advocate

After 30 years, Bhakhri sir handed me green card today. This is a dream. Never thought it would happen. I was with many lawyers. Martin, Kaufman, they did nothing. Waste my money and 30 long years. I wish I would have gone to Bhakhri office earlier. He is sincere and honest and promise only what he c...an deliver. He pulled me out of deportation and got me green card. Miracle. Thankuuuuuuuuuuuu all at Bhakhri law firm. Hard work and strategy talks

Ashwani Bhakhri is a good Attorney... But Beware of the lady at the front desk

I know Ashwani bhakhri through one of my friend who helped him with his immigration case and i met him for few occasions when i recommended and took 3 diffrent friends of mine to him, i saw that he is Nice, Honest, straightforward and very helpful person. Had gone to Ashwani's office to get my fam...ily's green card paperwork done and Aswani was not in the office and met his office staff Suman singh at that time and told her that i had come to do my paperwork ,And that time she offered me to get my work done outside office with her at a cheaper rate. To save some money i did the paper with her outside the office and because of her mistake my whole paperwork got denied I lost my money, time and now i have to do the whole paper work again and spend more money. Not only this i thought she was charging me less but i realised that she charged me a huge amount Suman had also asked me to let my friends know if they want any of their paperwork done like green card, citizenship, EAD etc.. and contact her personally outside and she will get done for cheap. I learnt a lesson BEWARE of such people

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.
