Kaushik Shakti Ranchod

Sometimes, when a professional recommends against moving forward with a service I'm ready to pay for, it catches me off guard. It also hints that the person advising me isn't necessarily in it for "just the money." In this case, Mr. Ranchod advised me on the case of a person I was eagerly trying t...o employ. After thoughtfully asking a series of questions about my prospective employee, he identified the key factors that would aid me in moving forward with my case. Later that day, Mr. Ranchod contacted me to let me know that, after thinking it through a little bit more, he realized that a certain detail of my prospective employee's case might not be favorable to him. This person had escaped El Salvador due to death threats he received for not paying local gangsters a monthly "protection" fee. He had a family in the US with kids born here, and in order to process his case, he would have had to leave them and risk his life by returning to El Salvador. Mr. Ranchod could have not mentioned this, taken my payment, processed this person's case and let the chips fall where they may... He didn't do that. Instead he told me the unpleasant truth even though he likely knew it wasn't gonna help his firm close a sale. I respect him for that. Even though I didn't use his services for that case, I kept Mr. Ranchod's contact info on hand because it is so rare nowadays to find honorable people that are truly interested in serving others. I've consulted with Mr. Ranchod about another case in which he advised me of a couple simple steps I could carry out on my own without the need to retain his services quite yet, and I'm grateful to him. I will continue to be in touch as I am sure that when the right circumstances present themselves for me to finally need the full-fledged services of an immigration attorney, he will be the attorney I confidently rely on.

My husband and I had a very positive experience with The Ranchod Law Group. From day one Mr. Ranchod was very attentive to our immigration situation and offered various legal paths. Based on the experience, price and reputation of the firm, we decided to proceed with them. For over a year, we worked ...very close to Attorney Melissa Oaklan and Attorney Yesenia Rosas. We were very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and responsive time. We really liked how they walked us through the process (including risks and worse case scenarios) and addressed our concerns about the immigration waiver application in order to prepare us emotionally, mentally and financially. Fortunately, after a LONG LONG LONG wait, my J1 waiver was approved and my husband and I no longer have to be physically separated.

I called Rachod with some questions regarding my case (requesting evidence of my marriage ) and booked a consultation with Yesenia, I had the pleasure to talk to one of the sweetest and most understandable persons Dolores, she took care of me booked my appointment. We had some issues with my card whe...n I was trying to do my payment and she called me multiple time to let me know what was going on , but assuring me to not worry that we where going to make it work, I ended up giving her another card information and it worked! She is the best! she was happy to help me and I appreciate the time she took to always take my calls or call me back. Dolores, you rock!! thank you! :)

We cannot thank Ranchod Law Group enough for their help and successfully getting our J-1 waiver case approved. The benefits of this success are immense and without that, my family and I could have been separated for two years. I found Ranchod Law Group after a long search and contacting about two...-dozen different lawyers (including some very famous law firms in the nation) over a course of more than 6 months. Our case was a "J-1 Waiver" (NOT based on No Objection Statement). This kind of case is exceedingly rare and is one of the most difficult cases in all of the immigration law. Most general immigration lawyers will not handle a J-1 waiver case because of the complexities involved. I did hours and hours of research on the internet on this subject and tried to find lawyers that have experience in this type of case. It's my finding that there are definitely not more than a handful that have "good experience" in this kind of case. Without a doubt, Ranchod Law Group is one of them. The most difficult part of this search is that, unfortunately, there are some general immigration lawyers with no experience in this kind of case that will take it for a fee regardless. When they lose because of lack of experince, they blame the inevitable defeat on the government. I tried to make sure they have first-hand experience of handling such cases by asking several specific questions in the first consultation call I had. The other problem is that some of those experienced attorneys charge very unreasonably outrageous fees given the rare nature of these cases. During my first phone call, I spoke with Michael and understood that they have a professional team in the office. We made an appointment to have a consultation with Kaushik and ask my questions. During my inteview and based on my experience of talking to about two-dozen lawyers, I could feel that Kaushik is very professional and more importantly has good experiences in this type of case. Another positive point of our first discussion is that he was also completely upfront and honest about no guarantees in any difficult cases like this. He also provided me with a very reasonable fee for the level of difficulty of this case compared to general immigration cases. This kind of application required a lot of work, both on our part and the attorney's part. We mainly worked with Melissa, the associate attorney who was very dedicated in preparing the case. She was very knowledgeable about what we should do to present our case in its best form and during the 3 months of case preparation process, she answered my various questions regarding the details very efficiently. This process did not take longer than the timeline that Kaushik had initially sketched. I also found Kaushik to be really professional and patient. Due to a misunderstanding of the process on our side, we developed some concerns and contacted Kaushik to express our concern. He listened to my concern with patience, responded very calmly and told me that he will follow up. We were later contacted by Melissa and she explained the missunderstanding and we were really grateful for their professional and respectful behaviour and customer service. The only thing that was less than a really perfect experience was that a few times our phone appointments were missed by staff and we had to call them to remind about our appointment. Again, we are incredibly grateful to the Ranchod Law Group for all their help and quality service, and will definitely recommend them to anyone seeking a J-1 waiver.

My wife and I are so happy with every aspect of working with the Ranchod Law Group for my J-1 Waiver. Kaushik was completely upfront and honest about no guarantees in any case, but I was confident with the way he handled the entire process from start to finish. My case was complicated, but he and C...hris (his senior paralegal) worked through all the details, and their experience showed. They discussed the case with me in consultation initially for a very reasonable fee prior to proceeding and were available for personal discussion about deadlines, paperwork, couriers, etc almost anytime I needed. I will be highly recommending the Ranchod Law Firm to friends and colleagues who are in need of an immigration attorney.
