Positive:Professionalism
I called to do few inquiries about my case, the attorney was very helpful and understanding of my situation without scaring me about the complicated case I have! Would definitely recommend them.

I was seeking a second opinion on my green card process and reached out to Mr. Shah on radio show. He answered my call in detail and provided advice on the matter to ensure I do not run any problem while in the last stage of my green card process. He also asked me to reach out to him for further advice to go in depth about the situation. I later contacted his office and got scheduled to talk to him next day only. He recognized me and discussed my case to ensure I won't have a problem switching employer while my green card date is current. I felt confident about my decision with his advice

Extremely rude and abrasive group of wanna be show off legal Eagles. Especially Silmi. More like slimy. Everything the other review mentioned about this cocky sob is truth. Read the other review.
Bias. Curt. They promise you the moon. Then never available. Ask lots of questions. It's imperative. Recommend? Nope.
There's so many immigration attorneys out there. Shop around. You've been warned.

We have been going to Shah for almost 10 year. I should have written this review long back. He helped us with our MTR when our 485 was denied and successful won the case. He gives right advice even if it means tough decision. He has always been very prompt with our response.

My wife and I worked with Jimmy Phavasiri at this firm and to say the experience was nothing but straight forward and pleasant would be an understatement. Our application process from application to approval was very smooth thanks to his guidance and preparation. He helped us though every step of the way and his friendly and helpful demeanor did wonders to remove our worries. He will come highly recommended!

Sharif Simli talks very nicely and will sell you his services during the consultation call by bragging about how he was successful in getting EB1 approved for cases that may be weaker than yours. But, once he gets the case it is very hard to reach him. He will ask you to gather documentation initially ut won't even start to draft the case until the last day of the deadline. I had to follow up for weeks on emails and phone to get the final copy of the submission and invoice of the services. Very unprofessional. If anyone from their office wants to follow up on this review, feel free to contact
