Highly knowledageble, calm, persistent, result oriented Attorney

Working with Maleeha has been an extremely satisfying experience. I worked with her on my naturalization process and she presented me with multiple options to further my case. You know you're working with an expert when you ask a question and you get answer to not only your question but numerous othe...r options that are applicable in your case. She is really calm and patient and a good listener - she always encouraged me to share my feelings abt the case. She's result oriented - she's on top of every deadlines/communications and persistently follows up with the associated parities. I also appreciate how she changes strategies on the go based on the direction the case is moving towards - only an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer can do that. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her to everyone because she truly has the passion to help immigrants have a better life and leaves no stones unturned in doing so.
