Amazing Lawyer

Maleeha is an amazing lawyer that I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an expert immigration attorney. She is not just a knowledgable and experienced lawyer, but also very caring and honest. She was eager to help me and my family right from the start. She provided us with valuable advice an...d guidance, even before hiring her. She handled our case very professionally and was patient enough to detail out all the points that are needed. She is never tired of responding to our concerns. I can't also forget the support and help of her Paralegal Gabriela. Gabriela was friendly and helpful. Both Maleeha and Gabriela were very responsive to our emails and calls. Before hiring Maleeha, we had a couple of lawyers dealing with our case but none of them was as knowledgable and caring as her. Our case has been in court for a couple of years but she was able to resolve it from the first hiring. We feel very lucky that we hired her. THANK YOU very much for all the help and the hard work that you gave to our case.

Very Good Lawyer.

I'm so glad that she was our lawyer. And of course she did a great job with our asylum case refered to court and now it is granted. She helped us with everything related to the case. Always responded to my calls/emails with questions. She always managed enough time to prepare us for the court and pre...pared us very well. She is very nice and she knows very well what she is doing. Thank you Maleeha.

Very helpful Lawyer

Recently had my nunc pro tunc asylum granted. My Assylum office was in Arlintong, VA. I lost my derivate asylum after getting married before applying for AOS. In between USCIS also returned my application to renew work permit. Maleeha not only helped with the responding to the RFE and preparing and s...ubmitting the application, but she also traveled to Virginia out of her busy schedule to accompany me during my interview. She is very helpful, always responsive to email and phone. I highly recommend her to anybody in a similar situation or have any other immigration problem.
