Best Lawyer

One of my friends who had become U.S. citizen by Tanya's help, recommended her to me and when I spoke to Tanya, I find she is the best. She did all my citizenship process. She is very intelligent and hardworking. I recommend Tanya as the best immigration lawyer.

COMPASSIONATE AND AS SMART AS IT GETS

I met Tanya Fekri when my mom needed assistance with here N-400 and we did have lot's of questions and concerns. As our case was special because of the length of stay, foreign travels and of course being from Iran, Tanya helped us clarify and answered all of our questions and addressed any and all o...f our concerns. She is always friendly but will tell you the truth and reality of the situation. I remember she followed up with us when there were some paperwork issues with immigration and refiled. Tanya even give us a reminder call and text the day of our appointment. I wish there were more honest lawyers like her

GREAT LAWYER

I met Tanya at his office to help me with my I-130 form and I find out later that she is someone who’s concern are towards his clients. She would answer any of the email I send in relate to my application she is such a great person who has such beautiful both outside and inside, and I have always ref...erred her to other friends who also has troubles with their immigration process. As she has helped me in the past I still look forward to have her assistant me again with any document that are related to immigration. Tanya am so bless to met with you.

Expert as a lawyer humble as a person

I had Status adjustment case because of marriage, and Tanya was recommended to us by a friend. She told us the whole process and what she would do and what we have to provide. She followed up the process until it was approved. I even messed up in the interview but she proactively corrected the situa...tion into a positive outcome. I definitely recommend anyone who has a case with USCIS to talk to her before starting the process. She is polite and professional.

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.
