Kaushik Shakti Ranchod

Kaushik Ranchod is a lawyer who knows the law! I highly recommend him. I have used him on several occasions. Kaushik is powerful, assertive, trustworthy and reliable. He is prompt in returning my calls and responding to emails. This lawyer establishes trust and confidence immediately. I highly recomm...end Kaushik to anyone interested.

I and my wife decided to engage the services of an immigration law firm for the family-based Green card application last January after getting overwhelmed by the intricacies of the application process - there was too many forms and and a large number of questions that we simply could not be sure of ...how to answer and we just did not want to take any chances attempting it ourselves as we did not know what a mistake could cost us . We did not have much prior experience with immigration law firms in the Bay area and relied on a combination of online reviews and gut feeling based on the initial few interactions with the firms. In the end we picked Kaushik Ranchod of the Ranchod group because of the quality of service we got in the initial stages: 1. When we first called and left a voice message, their office called us back promptly, listened to our case and took their time to explain how the process works and even set us up with one hour of consultation with Mr Ranchod. This seemed in total contradiction of one of the negative reviews that we had read on Yelp and in turn made us trust the positive ones more. 2. We really liked our first consultation session with Mr Ranchod. He seemed courteous, knowledgable and very positive about our case. Also the law firm itself seemed relatively small and therefore we felt we were more likely to get the attention that we needed. Now this may not be always be the case but based on personal experience, I did not always get the due attention when dealing with the immigration attorneys engaged by my employer. They have generally been from bigger immigration law firms obviously dealing with larger volume of cases. 3. Their rates seemed reasonable compared to some of the other firms we had approached. Our experience through the entire process was very positive and interactions with everyone in his team very smooth. Mr. Ranchod took his time to listen to our case and told us clearly what to do - what documents to get ready, forms to fill out, medical check-ups to get done etc. During the initial phase of the case, we worked with Rosanna, one of the paralegals who prepared most of the forms for us based on the information we provided. We went though a few iterations in this process to correct some of the mistakes on the forms but she was very professional and always answered our emails and phone calls promptly and sent us revisions of the forms on time. Thereafter we worked with Chris who again was very helpful and guided us through the next stages of the process and kept us updated on what to do next. Then just before our final USCIS interview, Mr Ranchod himself conducted a mock interview and spent a good 30 - 45 mins going over his questions, giving feedback on our answers and checking out the documents that we had prepared. Based on our reading of the USCIS interview process, both me and my wife were a bit nervous as we had learned that sometimes even genuine cases get summoned for fraud interviews. But the mock interview calmed our nerves and gave us a real confidence boost. Our final immigration interview went very smoothly and I got my Green Card within the next month. We are very grateful to the Ranchod Law Group for all their help. I am glad I went with them and highly recommend them.

The Ranchod Law Group were fantastic, extremely friendly and professional...My case was not the easiest due to complications on my side. The Ranchod team remained positive, patient and helpful throughout. Kaushik guided us through the interview effortlessly resulting in me receiving my Green card. Th...anks a million guys, I would recommend the Team to anyone going through this process. Big thanks to Shailah to whom i first spoke with, she made me feel completely at ease, i called 5 different lawyer firms but Shailah's honest and relaxing manner had me hooked....

I was asked to take my original review down, however I want to be fair and make sure other people don't fall in the same mistake. I was given a bad legal advise that led to a suffering that started 2 years ago and still going. due to the over confidence, ignorance, unreliability , and greediness o...f this law firm, my case was inappropriately filed early for a hardship waiver which was approved, however I couldn't change my status which led to terrible consequences. I asked to talk to Kaushik numerous times but never heard back and I was getting responses from his assistant who was not the most knowledgable and was very confident in her wrong advise. They did try to fix the issue only after I posted my review, but again turned out not to be competent and didn't know how to direct me to the next step and I had to hire another attorney costing me a lot more.
