Wonderful experience

Parva was great from start to finish. She is very experienced and knowledgable about immigration and was always very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Thankfully my husband's adjustment of status case was fairly straightforward but given that this was a new experience for us, having Pa...rva's guidance eased any worries about completion and accuracy of necessary paperwork. She was also happy to meet with us to prepare us for the interview and let us know what to expect. She was just great & we would highly recommend her!

Highly recommended

Ms. Fattahi handled my mother's citizenship case. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, and gets the job done. She thoroughly explained everything, provided expert advice, and patiently answered all questions, in-person or via follow-up emails. I found her to be very professional and trustworthy.... Very pleased with her work and highly recommend her services.

The best Attorney, I have seen

Before I started my immigration, I had studied for couple months on USCIS. So when I was talking to attorneys, I had a general idea that who knows the process. I and my wife talked to around 10 different attorneys and we selected Ms. Fattahi as attorney. She knows clearly what she is doing and she kn...ows what will happen. She is extremely series person and amazingly smart. I was sending her email at 2:30 am (am not pm) and she was responding at 2:35 am. She is amazing!! I never wait to her email for more than 15 min. AS an engineer I applied to EB-1A, it was her recommendation. It took less than two weeks to get approval for petition on November and we got our green card on 8 of May. I strongly recommend her, without any hesitation, as an attorney for immigration.

Great immigration attorney

Ms. Fattahi is a very experienced and knowledgeable immigration attorney. She manages her clients' cases responsibly and professionally. She perfectly helped me applying for my case of adjustment of status. Her fluency in speaking both English and Farsi was amazing and helpful to us. Any time i had ...a question during the processing time of my case, she addressed my concern immediately. It was impressive that she was always aware and informed of the details regarding my case until my case got approved and i finally received my permanent resident card. She is definitely one of the best immigration lawyers and i highly recommend her.

SHE MADE THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN!!!

I reached out to Ms. Fattahi about two years ago when I discussed my intentions of bringing my father back to the U.S. I mentioned to her that my father had a bench warrant for his arrest and several misdemeanours that could potentially affect his application (petition for relative). It was a tough c...ase to beat and the odds for him to return were against him. However, she told me that it could be possible with a couple of strategic defenses. She gave me hope and I started the petition process immediately after my consultation. From the very first interaction, I noticed she was extremely organized, attentive and experienced. For instance, there were days I would send her an email at 11pm requesting advise, she would respond immediately or within one hour. She was very accessible and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Every step of the process, she warned me of what to expect ahead of time. She knew exactly at what point in time you would expect a notification. After two long years, I finally received news that my father obtained his visa. He is now in the U.S and I am still in shock how she made it happen for me and my family. She stayed in constant communication with me until the very end and words cannot express how FANTASTIC SHE IS. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER TO YOU. I hope you find this review helpful!

  • 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.
