My impression after being in touch for about 2 years!

She has a prim character but totally expert and could help me along with my family to get our green cards via my sports affiliations. Having no personal access to her office, I had to trust and pay the fee, without even a lawful contract, and she respected my blind trust and did a good job. Finally, ...she proved that her estimations were feasible. You'll not regret to trust her.

While I appreciate the five-star rating, I’d like to make some clarifications regarding this review. While living abroad, the reviewer came across my immigration practice via my online advertising. So, the reviewer did not hire my services based on recommendations from any of my former clients, or based on our in-person meetings, but purely based on the trust we established during our phone appointments. Knowing the reviewer’s cultural background, I understand that this is not an easy thing to come by, and I deeply appreciate it. During the period of our work together, despite not having physical access to my office, the reviewer had my cell phone number to call at any time, and I always responded to their calls promptly. Also, I begin working with clients only after signing a written contract with them. That was the case for the reviewer, as well. Again, I appreciate the reviewer’s trust and satisfaction with my services, and the fact that the reviewer has referred several new clients to me.

EB1 Petition

Ms. Fattahi helped me to get my EB1 petition approved. She did an excellent job and I enjoyed working with her.She is very smart, organized and knows what she is talking about. I definitely recommend her for Green Card related petitions.

Caring and Dedicated Advisor

Ms. Fattahi assisted me with my immigration problems. My case was complicated and required coordination with another attorney in New York. She was very cooperative and my NY attorney was impressed with how dedicated Ms. Fattahi was to my case. I appreciate her help and am glad to have worked with her....

Ms. Fattahi helped me with my J-1 waiver. After its approval, she filed an EB-1 petition and a National Interest Waiver for me. She suggested that we should file both EB-1 and NIW cases, just to be cautious. But, she charged me for the cost of one, so I thought that was a fair thing to do. Both of my... EB-1 and NIW cases were approved, and I have my green card now.

Exceptional Immigration Attorney - Yes, Above Excellent in Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable & Kept me informed

Ms. Parva is an exceptional immigration attorney to work with as she kept me informed on the status of my case. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great immigration attorney. She clearly explained everything I needed to know about my case. I lived in two states and she was very knowledgeab...le to get all the required paperwork. She was always quick to respond to my questions and provided excellent work. She always answered my emails or phone messages within 15-30 minutes on the same day, keeping me up to date with the status of my case. She is perfect in maintaining my case as I was very busy with my work. She did support and provided me all the required information each time when I was running out of my time due to my busy schedule. Very reliable, updated knowledge as well, honest communication, pleasant to work with. I feel secure and confident having her manage my case and documents. My case was solved successfully, and I owe this to Ms. Parva. Actually, I have recommended Ms. Parva and will recommend to all those who are in need of an immigration attorney. Again - Exceptional Immigration Attorney - Yes, Above Excellent in Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable & Kept me informed

Avvo Rating

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.
