A few years ago, I was searching online and inquiring lawyers about my case. Mr. Kazmi not only answered my COLD email, but also told me the form I should file. No other attorney ever mentioned that my case could be resolved with filing such a form. He gave me instructions on how to file the form and told me I could file the form myself. I was very very impressed -- I don't know of any attorney who would take the time to answer a cold email and give remedy. I asked him to represent me. His rate was reasonable. My interview was already pre-scheduled with the immigration office. He had to reschedule his other meeting to accompany me in my case. It went smoothly and the case was resolved. I was very appreciative. When my friend has an immigration issue, he is the first one I contacted. However, he does not process such case. I asked him for referrals. Again He took the time to respond and send me referrals. He is knowledgeable, honest and caring. Highly recommended.

We are so glad that we hired Harun for my green card application. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and provided us helpful advises on how to prepare for the interview and what documents we need to keep. He made the whole process painless and we were informed for every update of our application throughout the past 7 months. Thank you!

I filed 'Change of Status' to USCIS for me to achieve permanent residency. About 45 days later, we hit a problem. USCIS sent a request of evidence and we had no idea how to deal with it. We had ran out of information and professional knowledge. He was professional and accurate and most importantly efficient. He did a great job as our agent and we trusted him 100%. Everything went successful! It was great working with Mr. Kazmi. Thanks.

I chose Mr.Kazmi to represent me to obtain a G.C. He was handling my case very professionally, extremely fast response/usually within hours after my e-mails. Always notified me any upcoming events/biometrics etc. even if I got the letter from USCIS.He did all the paperwork on time,without mistakes. There are other law firms out there who make mistakes-sometimes fatal ones-so the client's case gets denied for that.I felt I got very good value for my money, highly recommend them.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
