Brilliant Immigration Attorney

I just can't thank Melissa and Mr. Ranchod enough for their help in securing a J-1 exceptional hardship waiver for me. The revenues of this success are immense and without their support, my family and I could have been separated for two years. I'm aware that a J-1 waiver based on exceptional hards...hip to US citizen is extremely rare and difficult to handle. It requires extensive experience and diligence. Majority of immigration lawyers refuse to handle a J-1 waiver case because of the complexities involved. Ranchod Law Group​ has been very successful handling such waivers and I am very happy that I decided to work with them in preparing and arguing my case. Mr. Ranchod ​is a really experienced immigration lawyer and very patient as well. Melissa was very dedicated in preparing my case and handling every question I had very efficiently. She was very knowledgeable about what we should do to present the case in its best shape.​​ Melissa did a very terrific job filing my case in a very short time (2-3 weeks), she is a very professional attorney. I'm 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.​ It has been a privilege and honor to work with Ranchod Law Group​.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
