Corporate Vision February 2017

, When we asked how the practice of immigration law differed from other areas of practice in the legal field, the weight of consequence for clients was highlighted. “Immigration law is much different than other areas of law. Generally speaking, in the immigration field, we are handling cases that have a direct impact on whether someone gets to enter the US or remain in the US. In other words, the consequences of our clients’ representation have a direct impact on the course of our clients’ lives.” And with the many complications found in US immigrations, the specialist council provided by Farzaneh Law is invaluable. “When the government indicates that a specific case has a specific timeline, this can often times be unrealistic with regards to the complexity of the case. Immigration work is unpredictable at times and our firm compensates this by being extra patient with our clients and to strive for 100% satisfaction. “Our firm is known for taking the most difficult immigration cases that are turned down by other attorneys and receive fantastic results. We receive many referrals because of our history with such cases.” “We value each and every one of our clients and recognize that without them, we would not be. We take the utmost care to return all client phone calls in a prompt manner and research each case thoroughly to provide the best solution to their immigration needs. Our clients understand that by hiring our firm, they are hiring the best in the industry and that each case will handled on its own schedule to ensure that no steps are missed.” “Our clients share the most intimate and closely-held information in their lives, which is why confidentiality is not only the cornerstone of the practice of law, it is of vital importance to our practice. “Clients generally don’t hire us to be neutral parties—they hire us to represent them in their interests. However, we do believe it’s important to discuss the possible ‘flaws’ or ‘problems’ with a client’s case. To maintain neutrality, it’s important that we are honest with our clients and have a thorough discussion about their case and all its elements. “We feel it’s important to make sure our clients are treated fairly by any adversary in their case, whether it be the federal or state government or opposing private parties. We think that communication with the client will ultimately lead to a client feeling like the outcome was fair.” When we spoke on matters relating to the current state of the immigration field, it became apparent that members of the firm must constantly remain up to date on matters of personal and commercial immigration to remain in any way competitive. “As the world becomes more mobile and interconnected every year, the needs and desires of our clients change. From a business-immigration standpoint, companies try to remain competitive and expand their markets. Our legal services must reflect this reality. From a family- based immigration standpoint, we have seen a shift to promote the unity of families, despite legal status, which creates more options for individuals in the US. Furthermore, as national security and immigration become more intertwined from a policy standpoint, we must make sure that clients are preparing and responding accordingly. Our services must reflect these realities as well.” The firm’s plans for the future are set upon the potential in a future expansion. “Our firm is on the brink of expanding and will be moving into a brand new office space this coming spring. We are immensely excited to begin further establishing ourselves as the go-to-source for assistance when it comes to immigration case work and feel strongly that this expansion will only allow us to further best serve our clients.” “Our firm is known for taking the most difficult immigration cases that are turned down by other attorneys and receive fantastic results. We receive many referrals because of our history with such cases.”
