Best lawyer I ever had

Working with Maleeha has been my pleasure! She is very attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. She handled my case for my wife and daughter in a speedy and professional manner, while answering any of my questions or worries at any point in time. She really cares about her clients and was genuinely happy ...when my case finished without any issues. I felt I was in good hands for the complete duration of my case and couldn't be happier to have worked with her! Would recommend Maleeha to anyone!

An Honest result oriented Attorney!

I had an excellent experience working with Ms. Maleeha in regards to my parent in laws immigration status. I was referred to her by one of my friends who commended her professionalism and strong work ethic. My practical experience of working with Ms. Maleeha was no different. She provided honest and ...factual advice. She is highly knowledgeable and has command over the subject. I would definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to others as well.

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!

Very professional and helpful

I hired Ms Maleeha Haq as my immigration lawyer. She is very familiar and professional with every document I need to provide and she gives very helpful suggestions for my immigration case. She did prepare all my paper works in a very short amount of time and she always gave me feedback about my case ...when she had update. She is very punctual with my appointment in person and on the phone. She is easy to talk to and she makes everything easy for me to understand. She also gives useful advises for my interview which is very easy and successful. I got approval immediately. I will definitely recommend her immigration services to anybody.

An Amazing law service

Maleeha Haq's services are just amazing. She is very professional and skilled in her law profession. Her professionalism and organizational skills inspired us very much. She took care of our tedious immigration case and successfully fought for us. For that reason she traveled to Ohio and represented ...us in front of the judge. While presenting our case, she was very well prepared and her arguments were according to the law. She left no stone unturned to fight for our case and we had our permanent immigration status well before time. we fully recommend her for all immigration issues, she is simply wonderful.
