I cannot say enough good things about HMA law office. Hassan is the most caring and efficient immigration lawyer I've seen. If other lawyers don't give you hope, go to Hassan. Most lawyers just take cases they can make easy money on but not him. Hassan Ahmad is running to stand up for our values in the Virginia House of Delegates on a platform centered in protecting and advocating for immigrants. That alone speaks highly of a lawyer that truly cares and believes in us. His team is extremely knowledgeable and highly responsive which goes a long way. Sharifa Abbasi is extremely knowledgeable and professional Attorney with a great personal touch and Humza kasmi is another fantastic attorney who helped me towards the end of my individual hearing . We were on a time crunch and he came through miraculously always making me feel that I was taken care of. You couldn't ask for better service. After trying for over ten years with a succession of different lawyers to remove conditions on green card and terminate removal proceedings,I went to HMA law firm and sat down with Hassan.Hassan and his team moved by my tragic story which was very complicated .Mr.Hassan saw a clear strategy that needed to be implemented. They secured all my documentation from the old attorney. The case was then set for oral argument in April 8th 2019. Mr.Hassan and his team spent days preparing for argument since the case was extremely complex. At argument, I was asked tough questions by government and IJ and given a chance to tell my story after hearing my testimony and witness testimony IJ granted permanent Green card and terminated removal proceedings. In Short period Mr.Hassan and his team had brought an immigration nightmare of 11 years to an end.I did extensive research and talked to many lawyers. This office is hands down the best I found and I don't see anyone regret putting their lives in the hands of such amazing professionals.
Hassan had gotten my father's citizenship case out of gridlock that lasted over two years. His presence and understanding of immigration laws and current contexts helped produce positive outcomes and a long-awaited citizenship for my father. I would recommend him a thousand times and more.
I have dealt with immigration lawyers for the last 14 years during my trip to citizenship and this group is by far the best. Very professional and punctual. I worked with Hassan and he was just a pleasure to work with. during our last immigration interview things got really delayed and he patiently stayed with us for hours and didn't charge extra. He gave us great advice and all his actions proved to be on point. I highly recommend them.
I hired Hassan when after an unfortunate series of events, in which I had become out of status for a while and the sword of 3 to 10 year ban hung on my head with an injured spouse that was not able to live in the US without me, and wasn't able to travel outside the country. He filed through all the waivers, my permanent green card was approved within an year of him filling. The EAD came right on the 80th day and the whole immigration filing went extremely smoothly and it was a fantastic time line. I would highly recommend Hassan for immigration purposes for the most complicated cases. He is truly respectful and understanding of the circumstances. Never did I fell rushed, when I didn't have a few documents with me, Hassan and his team were patient with me. I wish them tons of success and a shout out for helping families stay together. Thank you to Hassan, Karen and Valeria for all your support and the amazing work you do.
I had an asylum case that was going through so much obstacles and denials for 4 years. Hassan team show so much endurance, and strong will to challenge to bring that case to success. Not only Hassan was working on my case but every body in the office was, 2 other lawyers, and even the interns, every one participated in a different way to make this case eventually succeed. My case was brought back to life and was introduced again to the court, and everyone`s share of effort showed how important it was, with the help of Allah, it got accepted. Thanks to Allah first then thanks to the fantastic Team work of HMA.
Hassan Ahmad is a great attorney. He gives his clients attention in answering all of their questions every step of the way. His guidance is much appreciated. His recommendations were spot-on from his years of experience. I would definitely recommend him.
He is professional yet approachable. My husband and I enjoyed working with him - we would recommend him to whoever seeking legal assistance.
He didn't write any information about our case and didn't seem to try to have an effort in asking more about it!He didn't seem like a professional and he takes a lot of money comparing to others!plus he too a lot for consultation more than 3 times what they said on the phone!!
Needed my green card to be renewed so I hired Mr. Hassan Ahmard And paid the fee for the renewal On 06/14. Then I called on 07/09 to see why I haven’t received my receipt from The immigration And they told me that my lawyer did not have time to sign my papers and submit them to the immigration. My green card about expired and I needed to leave the country as well he knows all about that and it seems like they ignored it. I asked for my money back they only gave me 80% of the payment and stated that 20% went for preparing paperwork which they never submitted. I asked for my money back they only gave me 80% of the payment and stated that 20% went for preparing paperwork which they never submitted So at this point I am badly stuck and don’t know what to do thank you Mr. ahmad.
