It's a great relief.

Maleeha is an intellectual and energetic person with a vibrant personality, positive attitude and perseverance. My family, we are so thankful and lucky that we found Maleeha. she was there on every step of our application. She explained everything very clearly and describe all the possibilities that... might come in future. She was very clear about our situation. All the while she showed great compassion and respect.I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs immigration services. Thank you Maleeha.

Competent, dedicated and a safe bet

Maleeha is a capable, hard working and committed professional. I found her to be very helpful and cooperative throughout the immigration process. She responded right away, to any questions/queries I had regarding my case. I would highly recommend Maleeha, in particular, to all those living in the Tri...-Valley area.

excellent lawyer

We hired Ms.haq for our immigration case and she has been magnificent. She is the type of person who actually cares. Anytime we would email her or text message her with our concerns she would respond to us quickly no matter how early in the morning or even on weekends. Never did we have to deal with ...her secretary or staff like some lawyers, it was always direct contact with her. She is also affordable and reasonable with her pricing. I would recommend her to everyone. I will never use any other lawyer for immigration cases, it will always be Haq Law.

US Citizenship Application - Continuance Letter

Attorney Maleeha Haq assisted me with responding to a continuance letter related to my US Citizenship application. I am delighted to say that, with her assistance, I was successful in obtaining my US Citizenship. When I was first considering seeking an attorney's assistance, I had contacted sever...al. Not one person was willing to consult without charging me a consultation fee (usually $200+). It was through a friend that I came across Ms. Haq. And after discussing my case with Ms. Haq over the telephone, I chose her to represent me. I could tell she cared about my situation and sincerely wanted to see me get my US Citizenship. In my dealings with Ms. Haq, I found her to be very competent, knowledgeable, a good listener, and patient. Her inquiries, when examining my case, were well thought out. Ms. Haq was prompt in responding (either via phone or email) to any questions/concerns I had. Also, she took the time and care to ensure I addressed all matters that were noted in the continuance letter. Finally, she guided me in drafting a response to the satisfaction of USCIS. I am very satisfied with Ms. Haq's immigration services. She gets my highest recommendation!
