Poor Knowledge. Super Terrible Experience. Wasted a lot of money.

I consulted with her to review a urgent matter related to inadmissibility. Had a really bad experience. She will always insist you to make payments first, will never trust you as you will not pay her. For every minute of call you will have you will be charged money. I never ever had other immigration... attorneys charged me for any calls I had with them. She will not give any written answers, once you make payment you will get answers even she is not sure about. What all answers I got all were easily available online and I paid so much money for nothing. Other immigration attorneys not charge you for as many questions you ask them, she will charge you accordingly, so please I will strongly advise everyone to stay away and save your money. I paid first $450 to get a review on my file, to which she said, it is ongoing matter so she would like to talk to my other attorney and she talked to him for 20 mins and charged me $250 more. Now I asked her for analysis and she said its $350 more, and the other $450 I gave to her initially she said is for initial call which was just for 5 minutes, which any other attorney takes for free. Eventually my entire money was wasted with no result and I asked her to refund my money and she denied refund. I am just writing this to help other people decide and make wise decision before hiring her for any immigration matter.

At the onset, I will say I strive very hard for my clients, I put in my best efforts for my clients and I want the best for my clients. With that, I do not compromise on quality of work and time I put in. The service you pick through my website was offered to you based on the Avvo message you sent me. It is unfortunate that you gave me misleading information about your case. When I reviewed your file, I realized the complexity of your ongoing matter and quoted you my fee structure in an email and offered you a full refund of the online service you sought. You declined the refund and asked for the full analysis which involved - (1) review of your file, (2) discussion with your other counsel on the matter, (3) research and analysis of the issue and (4) providing you a second opinion. Ours is a very transparent format. My office does not charge for phone calls towards this service. Since you mentioned that I spent only 5 minutes, I sent you my call log which shows I talked to you for over 127 minutes in aggregate understanding your case. I spent 5-6 hours reviewing your file, researched case laws, analyzed and reviewed the first opinion provided by your other immigration attorney. I also hopped on a zoom call to explain my analysis. Unfortunately you were unhappy as I agreed with your other immigration attorney's analysis of the law. If you were able to find the answers online, there was no need for you to hire 3 attorneys. Yours was a complex case, and I did my best as your attorney researching BIA and Ninth Circuit case laws and explaining what the law says. Once we have completed our work, the fees are earned and no refunds are given. If you pay for an online service and do not wish to proceed with our services, we offer a full refund of any fee or deposit a client pays. Hope this helps with your grievance.

Exceptional service!

I recently consulted Tripti on some immigration related topic and it was an exceptional experience. If you are looking for a lawyer who knows the law and can help you guide through the intricacies, look no further. What makes Tripti a great Lawyer is that you will be able to connect with her at more ...human level, which makes her recommendation and solution so much more impactful and real. I had a consultation with Tripti but I will definitely be hiring her for my immigration needs. Thank you for everything, Tripti.

form i130 question on phone

Thank you Ms. Sharma. I asked her a question as to whether I should mention the A number on I-130 form since I am a naturalized citizen and she was very kind enough to guide me saying that Yes, You should mention it. What makes this special is that I called her on phone and she didn't have to reply f...or free but she did and I am very thankful to her for that. I researched so much looking for an answer but was unable to find one. Thank you Ms. Sharma.

I am glad I was able to assist you. I don't always find the time to take calls to answer general questions, but yours was a very basic question and you were very respectful in seeking the help. I hope your application was approved and I wish you all the success in life!

F2 dependent visa

I had a phone- appointment with Ms.Tripti for getting legal advise on my husband's F2 dependent visa. He was denied twice when he applied for F2 visa, then I thought to contact an attorney. She explained me the probable reasons for his denial and suggested to try some other visa type. Her suggestion...s indeed helped me a lot. Thank you so much Tripti. Now we are planning to apply J1/J2 visa assuming things will go fine, although a little bit worried about next interview.
