Review about immigration lawyer

Mr. Owji is a reliable, trustworthy lawyer who really cares about his customers and looks at each case quite individually. He has a very good and sufficient knowledge regarding different aspects of his client`s situation and leads you through the best pathway possible to get you the point you`re look...ing for. I had a very good experience with him during my immigration process to the united states. He was ready at anytime to answer my questions and figure out the best solution to any kind of problem I was facing during this long, breath taking process. If you are lookjing for a responsible skillful lawyer who doesn`t let you down at anytime, I think Mr. Owji would be a very good choice.

Great Choice for Immigration/Naturalization Candidates in California

Fashad handled my naturalization case and has done a great job seeing it through to a successful citizenship. He has also handle H1-B cases for my company with similarly positive outcomes despite complexities. Farshad has both deep knowledge of the immigration matters involved and the personal touc...h that is necessary to make you feel that you are in good hands as a client. Having done this for a long time he understands the hot buttons of immigration officers and the key aspects of the relevant processes thus he is able to coach you through your interviews and correspondences with confidence. I highly recommend that you retain Farshad's services for any immigration case you are considering.

A Great Lawyer - Professional, Ethical, Honest and Friendly

My immigration case was tough. Not having much choice, I consulted the Bay Areas top immigration lawyers. I came across lawyers that were non-professional, thought they were Gods, and impersonal. Then I met Farshad. Not only did he make me feel positive and comfortable, but he was realistic. What m...akes a good lawyers great is personality and humbleness and Farshad has both. His knowledge for immigration law is super excellent, he knows most of the immigration personnel's at USCIS and judges, is professional, sharp, and a great communicator. He has a warm personality, friendly, honest, ethical, not afraid to devote time and generous. He is willing to listen, advise, and help. He is organized and very responsive. He worked on my case as if he is helping his family. Not only did he win my difficult case but I befriended a great friend. God bless him. Thanks Farshad.
