Highly Recommend- Excellent attorney!

I would like to express my deep appreciation for Ms. Pooja Regmi for her support and professional advices during my green card filing process. Although, I was in Connecticut, and she was in Maryland, she was always there for me whenever I needed her. She made sure I understood all the details in gre...at depth and prepared me for all the possible scenarios. She is an incredibly dedicated and dependable attorney. She has thorough understanding of entire immigration process and is well informed in U.S. immigration policy. She always kept me informed if there were some latest laws that she thought would benefit me. She was very responsive and any concerns I raised were immediately answered and information I requested was promptly forwarded. She is an awesome person who is always willing to go an extra mile for her clients. She has a tremendous capacity in listening, analyzing the situation and coming up with solutions. Her supportive and understanding nature always put me at ease to express my concerns and get answers without being rushed. I would without a doubt strongly recommend Ms. Regmi to others. I truly believe Ms. Regmi is a lawyer that people would love to hire because she does not only have strong professional expertise but is also a kind-hearted person who makes clients feel special and take care of.

Saved me money and a lot of hassel

I called Ms. Regmi frantically on the phone. This was the first time I was talking to her about my case. I was trying to tell her that I received a notice from USCIS denying my application while I was still communicating with USCIS about other issues. Once the case is closed I could take it to court ...which would be expensive and has little chance of success. I had no options but to start all over again. She listened to me, calmed me down, and suggested couple of options. She also emailed me some useful links including the one to the Ombudsman office. I had never even heard of it. She very clearly laid out the steps for applying my case to the Ombudsman office. She was right! Only after a couple of days they got back to me and said that they re-opened my case. I was ecstatic. I now have my green card and its because of Ms. Regmi's help at that crucial point. I have already referred many of my friends and family to her. She says she is a lawyer but has heart of a social worker. As immigrants that is exactly what we need to go through this arduous process

Highly Recommend!

I came across Ms. Regmi at a conference in Raleigh, NC. She was presenting at a forum for immigrants. Her knowledge and thorough answers to all of my questions were so reassuring I retained her as an attorney to handle the case of my then fiance. She was incredible and has helped tremendously in keep...ing the love of my life, legally, close with me :) I have to add that Ms. Regmi's fluency in the Nepali language is such an added bonus that I can't speak enough of! All in all, I am very thankful to have had someone so helpful.
