Successful Asylee

I just had my asylum granted and I would definitely recommend Haq Law firm to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. I found Maleeha Haq (the attorney working on my case) to be very professional, thorough and diligent in the preparation of the case and that she also possesses the empathy one sho...uld have to understand the requirements of a particular case. She is also familiar with the in's and out's of the court proceedings which really helped me in my case. Furthermore, they have a fine team of legal assistants who kept me up-to-date with documents, requirements and reminders of court dates, and all of them always promptly replied to my emails very quickly. All in all a great experience having Maleeha Haq as my attorney and I wish them all the best of luck !

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

My mother took her oath to become a US citizen and we could not have done it without Maleeha's help. It was a long uncertain journey and there were many times that we were close to giving up on my mother's citizenship process. However, it was due to her belief and perseverance that we continued to pu...sh through. Thank you for answering all of our endless questions whether it be through email, text, or phone. Thank you for not giving up and pushing us to keep trying. Thank you for accompanying my mom to her interview, for challenging the USCIS officer's conclusion, and following up after with the extra requirements. Thank you for continually checking in to make sure the citizenship process was progressing as intended. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for everything. We are so thankful for everything you have done for our family, and now my mother has the freedom to travel to visit her family in both Indonesia and the United States.

Dedicated, Responsive, Diligent, and Professional

I was in search of a LAWYER who'd listen, understand and carefully process my application. I became frustrated after meeting few so-called professional lawyers who don't have sufficient answers regarding my case scenario. When i met Maleeha, the time have proved that she was the right person in my si...tuation. I am incredibly fortunate to find an attorney like her who is very research oriented, very friendly and especially give enough time to her client. I am very impressed by her sincere work, communication ability, quality of service and the time she spent on my case. I would highly recommend her to anyone who are seeking the professional solutions as they were able to save a lot of time and peace of mind for positive result.

Topnotch Immigration Services

Ms. Maleeha is very professional and knows her stuff. I got an opportunity to work with her for my parents Green Card processing and it was kind of cruise control for me. She, along with her employee Gabriela, took care of everything for me and I din't have to worry for a single thing. The best part ...I liked was communication. I was always in loop for every communication related to my parents case and I could not have asked for anything more. I would definitely refer Haq Law for any kind of immigration services and looking forward to work with Ms. Haq again in future.
