Extremely knowledgeable!

When we gave David our case he hit the ground running. I was extremely impressed by his passion and dedication. David is very knowledgeable with immigration law and I trust his ability to win our case. I look forward to giving an update to our case once it's all done and settled. Thanks David!

Excellent help with Naturalization

I hired David to help me with my Naturalization case which was a bit difficult due to a prior criminal offense. He gave me a no nonsense explanation of my circumstance and what it would take to make a solid case. Throughout the whole process, David communicated with me hundreds of times to make sure ...I had everything ready to go. I fully recommend David to anyone seeking an immigration attorney.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Approved 1-601a

I would like to share my experience because this is something I wish I had learned from the start and reviewed when hiring an attorney. When I first got married I filed a petition for my husband and which the next step was to submit a 1-601a. At the time DACA should had been an option for my husband ...as well due to him being 14 years old when he came to the USA. He was denied the I-601a due to the fact that when fingerprints came back there was findings at the border. which we had no idea, nor did my other hired attorney ,and when asked why with confusion and what could be done, he said “ it’s like throwing a paper in a black hole”. I still didn’t feel at ease with this. And wanted to a second opinion. And this is when I started to talk to a coworker who then recommended me David Shamloo, he then also saw my case and said my case was not going to be easy but we decided to resubmit the 1-601a. I did everything he said and now couple years later we finally got an approved I-601a. We are extremely happy and over joyed as we have waited for this. And would definitely recommend to hire David Shamloo to any one we know. He is very experienced and knowledgeable in his work.
