Complicated N-400 Interview & Documentation Submission

Parva is an excellent and a compassionate attorney who understands the client situation and gives straight answers.She spent a good amount of time listening to my story to evaluate options.I was going through a rough divorce which had complicated my citizenship interview process.She was so responsive... to all the updates related to my case throughout the document submission process.I am very happy with the outcome of my case and very grateful for the services provided by Parva.I highly recommend her for any complicated immigration services.

Very effective!

Parva handled all aspects of my husband's immigration. She helped us prepare our documents, made sure everything was sent to the correct place on time, and that all documents were free from errors. She was always available to answer questions, no matter how trivial, and also helped to alleviate some ...anxiety with her confident and assured manner. Once the case went through, and the final stage was taking many months for the government to complete, Parva again helped us with a Writ of Mandamus to speed the process along. It was eloquently done, and the final result is that within three weeks of filing, the matter was resolved. Her prices are extremely fair and reasonable, and I would recommend her to anyone. I would like to say that after a year and a half as her client, I also consider her a friend.

Our Family's Immigration Attorney

Ms. Fattahi has assisted my family with their immigration issues. First, she helped my father to reopen his case and ultimately get his green card after he had faced long procedural battles and denial. My father had struggled so much in his immigration case, that we were all feeling helpless. But, Ms.... Fattahi helped us to resolve the matter and my father is happy to have his residency sorted out. I am a U.S. citizen, and after the great results we had in my father's case, I hired Ms. Fattahi to help me with my wife's family petition and residency. My wife is now a green card holder, as well. Working with Ms. Fattahi is easy. She organizes things perfectly, explains things upfront, and sets realistic expectations. We are happy with her service and feel that she cared for us.

The Best Lawyer Ever!

Ms. Fattahi is absolutely the best immigration lawyer I ever came across. I am living in Miami and I see many people struggling to get their immigration documents and having headaches with lawyers who are not responsive at all. I called Ms. Fattahi when I had called three other lawyers who made me re...ally disappointed. Ms. Fattahi was the only one who said “YOU HAVE A CASE AND I CAN HELP YOU” and she really did. She lives in a different State (Maryland), but was able to work out my very difficult case to a successful conclusion. She did a fantastic job and now I have my Green Card in hand! Ms. Fattahi is very responsible, compassionate, and hard worker. She kept me informed, promptly returned my calls and answered any questions or concerns. She is very honest and straight forward. Thanks to her, I could get my life back in order. She is knowledgeable, responsive and caring. I highly recommend her.

An incredible asset to me every step along the way!

I haven’t needed to work with other attorneys prior to meeting Parva, so I didn’t come to the table with any preconceived notions. From our first meeting I felt as though Parva listened to my case, asked lots of questions and truly cared about my situation. She is very knowledgeable and resourceful... and I felt confident being under her representation. One of the things I appreciated the most was how she kept me informed every step along the way. I didn’t, for a moment feel forgotten or that my case was set aside, although I knew she was fairly busy with other cases as well. Whenever I called her she promptly answered and called me by my first name, which showed a level of carrying and personal attention that made me feel safe and taken care of. I would recommend her services to anyone I know because she has been an incredible asset to me every step along the way and I am very grateful to have met her.

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.
