Absolutely Amazing

I first consulted with Shahzad in 2015 . Was unsure about how or if I could be able to start a company. I ended up hiring him and working with him ever since then. Not only did we set up a company but he has been a constant professional support throughout. I have consulted with him on numerous varied... situations where his advice and actions have really helped and protected us.

Professional, kind, helpful

I was referred through an employee assistance program for questions about family immigration. Shahzad answered all of my questions very efficiently. He treated my concerns as legitimate, helped me determine what was and wasn't legally relevant, and walked me through the potential ramifications of a ...few legal options forward. Very positive experience.

Professional, Informed and Empathic Consulting

Within just 15 min, Shahzad could answer all my questions about Green Card and Citizenship. I have a green card but had questions about requirements for Citizenship and complications related to my travel abroad. Free but expert consultation. I recommend to everyone.

Honest, Knowledgeable and Very Helpful

I was looking for attorney who can attend my EB2 employment based I-485 interview and guide me through the interview process because I was little bit nervous and had lots of question and concern. Shahzad not only clarify all my question and concern in single free consultation he also motivated me mor...ally to attend the interview without attorney. His recommendation was since my case was not complicated there won’t be much attorney can add by attending the interview. I did the same, save some money in lawyer and as he mentioned my interview was just a general question about what I filled in my I-485 form. He never hesitate to answer any of my question or concern during the consultation. I would say he is very honest knowledgeable, helpful and friendly person. Thanks you very much Shahzad for your help.

Very Honest Lawyer

I went to his office to get suggestions for expediting my L2 ead request . Since it was the third time that I am trying to expedite, he said that I have done enuf from my side and there is nothing that he could do rather than being patient and even gave me an idea of how cases are processed in USCIS... .Though his suggestion disappointed me a bit ,I still think that he was being really honest also he did not give false promises. I would really suggest him as one of the best attorneys I have met . Also he did not take any consultation fees eventhough he spent 20 minutes on discussion.

  • 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.
