Excellent Immigration Counsel

I have been Nasreen's client since 2016 for immigration. She started counseling me for my petition under my mom. She has been precise with the step by step procedure that I should follow. She has also counseled me in the switch of my petition to and under my husband. All through the years, she ne...ver lacked empathy for me until the end of my immigration journey. She did not disappoint with the results.

Courteous, Professional and Knowledgeable Lawyer

We met Nasreen through a consultation session setup through Lawtrades for our immigration case. Her kind demeanor and rational approach to navigating the process was all we needed to know we were working with a great lawyer. Throughout our case Nasreen was always timely on all her communications and ...she routinely went above and beyond to provide us with ample information so that we knew what to expect every step of the way. Nasreen was accommodating with our requests, allowing us to either talk on the phone or meet in person depending on the matter at hand. I would strongly recommend Nasreen to any family or friend looking for a courteous, professional, and knowledgeable lawyer.

NY Number One Lawyer

Excellent lawyer she goes above and beyond and nurtures you through your case with results. Her legal advice is clear and concise. I've consulted with other lawyers and they fail in comparison to her level of expertise. Nasreen definitely knows the legal system and I recommend her 100%. Definitely w...orth it.

Successful Immigration case after RFE

Nasreen was able to help me out after a got a complicated request for more evidence from USCIS. I initially went to a different attorney who had messed my application up but Nasreen was able to straighten everything out and my petition was granted. I cannot thank her enough for being a smart, nice,... honest and effective attorney!!!!
