Dima Malhas

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as we celebrate the approval of our asylum case. This life-changing victory would not have been possible without the exceptional legal expertise, brilliance, compassion, and unwavering dedication of Dr. Dima N. Malhas, Esq. of Chung, Malhas & Mantel. She guid...ed our family through one of the most difficult chapters of our lives—and into a future filled with hope, safety, and freedom. From the very first moment, Dr. Malhas treated us not just as clients, but as family. She poured her heart into our case, guiding us through every legal, emotional, and procedural step with grace and determination. She was always accessible—sharing her personal cell, taking calls even on weekends, and offering a level of care that is simply rare. She helped us articulate our experience, manage the intense anxiety and pressure surrounding our case, and always remained patient and respectful—even when tensions arose within our family or when trauma-related memory loss made things difficult. Her calm, empathetic presence helped keep us focused and strong. When our case dragged on for nearly a decade with no resolution, Dr. Malhas fearlessly filed a Writ of Mandamus in Federal Court, refusing to let our situation go ignored. Her and her team worked tirelessly—often past midnight—to prepare every document with precision, ensuring that we met the tight deadline and not a single detail was missed. We will never forget the Sunday before our interview—she had just returned from a Gala but went straight to her office to Zoom with us, offering reassurance and answering every last question. That moment showed us the depth of her commitment—not just as a lawyer, but as a human being who genuinely cares. Our case was approved just two weeks after the interview—and Dr. Malhas shared the news with such excitement and joy, it felt like she was celebrating her own family’s success. She immediately followed up with a clear next step: a checklist to begin reuniting the rest of our family in the U.S. Because of her, we can finally say: We are safe. We are free. We are stable. And we are deeply, deeply grateful. If you are looking for a legal team that will fight for you with skill, heart, and unshakable commitment, we cannot recommend Dr. Dima Malhas and Chung, Malhas & Mantel highly enough. Her work changed our lives—and we know it will change many others.

I cannot express enough how hiring Dr. Dima Malhas changed the course of my legal journey in the United States. When I first met her, I was dangerously close to the deadline for submitting my asylum application. Most lawyers I approached either turned me away or weren’t willing to take on the ch...allenge of building a case with the limited evidence I had. But Dr. Malhas saw the truth and urgency in my story and she didn’t hesitate to step in. We had only one month to prepare everything. Despite the pressure, Dr. Malhas gave me her full attention, patiently guiding me through every step. She taught me how to structure my testimony, helped me articulate my experience, and reviewed every detail multiple times to make sure it was perfect. Her dedication was beyond what I ever expected. Her team was equally remarkable. Their communication was seamless ! Always received responses quickly, and they were kind, professional, and encouraging throughout. Even when corrections were needed, they handled everything with patience and respect. Thanks to their tireless efforts, we submitted my asylum application 24 hours before the deadline. They worked late to make sure everything was filed correctly and on time. I got scheduled for biometrics the very next week. And when we submitted my EAD application on the 180th day, it was approved just a day later !! That speed and precision speak volumes about their thoroughness and credibility. Dr. Malhas isn’t just a lawyer, she’s someone who genuinely cares about people. She believes in her clients, supports them through the hardest moments, and celebrates their successes. Because of her, I finally feel safe and stable. I no longer live in fear. I am endlessly grateful for Dr. Malhas and her team. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of immigration legal support. She truly is the best.

My family has been able to remain together, and my wife now has her green card, entirely because of the efforts of Dr. Malhas and her associates. There are no words that can accurately express how grateful I am for that. My wife came to the US under process but the US government had some doubts a...bout her circumstances and thus were going to deny our petition. Prior to contacting Chung, Malhas, and Mantel PLLC we tried several other attorneys, ones that advertised their services on TV, but found that they were mainly just process experts--they knew what forms to fill out and what language to use during official communications but that was it. Dr. Malhas was the first that really seemed to understand the nuances of our situation and dug to find the truth, which she then used to craft the cogent and persuasive arguments that ultimately won our case. I cannot recommend this firm enough or give them enough stars. They have my deepest gratitude.

When faced with complex and personal legal issues you want someone who is knowledgeable of the law, who will give you truthful legal advice, and who empathizes with your plight. I found that person in Dr. Dima N. Malhas Esq of Chung, Malhas & Mantel, PLLC when I was recently looking for legal advice... on an asylum case. Her ability to listen to our story, empathize with our plight, provide options on different legal paths and then to craft a legally viable strategy was amazing. Since hiring her, we literally have felt like we found a knowledgeable trusted friend within the legal profession who will be looking out for your best legal interests. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dima to anyone looking for legal advice from a kind professional individual.

To say that I am blessed to have Dr. Dima as my attorney would be an understatement. Since our first consultation, it was apparent that Dr. Dima was very knowledgeable not only with the United States laws and immigration system but also with the conditions of my country and its events. She showed bot...h empathy and professionalism and I truly couldn’t have gotten a better lawyer to handle my case. Dr. Dima’s office worked tirelessly to ensure I had a solid case file and explained all the steps involved and assured me of what to expect in this process. Immigration is not an easy journey but I am beyond grateful that I have Dr.Dima and her office to guide me through this journey. I wholeheartedly believe that I wouldn’t be able to navigate the immigration system without Dr. Dima and for her and her office I will always be eternally grateful for their role and efforts in creating a better safe life for me.
