Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

Maleeha and her team successfully helped my husband obtain his green card. The team at Haq Law is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. There were a couple of times when my husband and I wished we were given a heads up regarding a couple of scary-looking notices—we were worried, but Maleeha wasn’t beca...use she knows the process inside and out—she assured us that the notices we received were the norm. Maleeha understands the stress that clients go through during the immigration process and was quick to respond to our concerns. The team at Haq Law is professional and was capable of handling our immigration needs—I highly recommend them! Thank you.

The best immigration lawyer

I found the best immigration lawyer in the Bay Area. She is very much knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I had a immigration lawyer before her. But when I tired with other and started to work with her, I feel very much relief and peaceful because she has every questions answer and give me a l...ot of options and help on the best. She help me on very much smooth way. She finalized my case on short time. Highly recommended.

Professional and very responsive Immigration Attorney

We found Maleeha to be a very professional attorney who explained the immigration process to us in detail. She was very responsive and whenever a complication arose, she was available at the earliest convenience to address our concerns. We always had direct communication with the attorney by phone an...d email. She and her staff were always on top of the issues in completing application and collecting documents for our process. We highly recommend Haq Law firm for immigration related matters.
