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.

Choosing Maleeha was the right decision

Maleeha was wonderful to work with. She helped my husband obtain his green card although we knew the process could be a difficult one because of all the legal forms. Maleeha was very easy to work with, both understanding and compassionate. She was kind, patient, organized and she was able to answer a...ll of our questions. When we had our meeting with the officer assigned to us, we felt confident and supported. When the approval was taking a little longer than expected, she fought for us, wrote our Senators and was able to obtain our green card in a timely manner. I cannot recommend Maleeha enough and choosing her to help us through this process was the right decision. Thank you Maleeha!

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.
