I write this review in capacity of the head of a local non profit organization which helps people from various countries settle in United States. Along with other help we provide, we also help them get legal status. We have worked with 2-3 different attorneys in past. It was only after we used the services of Neelofer Syed that we realized that even the Attorneys can be good and sensitive to other people's needs. Ms. Syed is not only professional in her dealings, she is also very knowledgeable, very compassionate, very wise in her advice, and above all is very realistic and sets realistic expectations for clients. It was after using her services, we never recommended anyone else to the people we help. Not to mention, none of the persons who used her services had any negative comment. She helped the people in various cases which include but are not limited to asylum, family petition, cancellation of removal etc. She is by far the best attorney who we recommend for any one who is in need of one. Thank you Ms. Syed for all you do. Thank you AVVO for letting us share our experience and benefiting others.

Neelofer Syed is the best attorney I ever met. She is very professional ,very knowledgeable,very honest,she doesn't give false hopes. She walked us through the entire process, kept us informed,answered all the phone calls emails even on weekends,no matter how many questions we had always took the time to explain. She took our case in April and mid October we had our green cards. We highly recommend Ms Syed to every person who needs an EXCELLENT ATTORNEY! Absolutely the best in bussines!

Neelofer Syed has helped our organization with multiple complicated immigration-related cases. I can say with full responsibility that hadn't it be her thorough knowledge of US immigration law, professional and clinical approach towards the problems we faced, we would never be able to successfully process those cases. Being a religious, nonprofit organization, it is of utmost importance to us that our cases were processed maintaining the highest level of ethical standards, integrity, and complete conformance of the law, and her integrity matched and surpassed our requirement. I would highly recommend Neelofer Syed for all your immigration-related issues. She is truly the best!

When I wanted an attorney for my immigration application my friends all highly recommended Neelofar Syed. I came to her hoping to get the best advice and that's what I got. Syed is a thoughtful, considerate and highly skilled lawyer, who will never shy away from going out of the way for her clients. She is trustworthy and ethical in her work. Furthmore, she is always personally available to answer queries and satisfy concerns. At several instances she has spent hours explaining the step by step process to me. And at every step of the way I have seen her go out of the way to help me with my case. I would not hesitate to contact her for legal advice I might need in future.

Before becoming a client of Neelofer Syed I was a client of the notable immigration law firm and they were not able to help me. I was seeking for second opinion and Neelofer Syed had answers for my case right away. She knows immigration law inside out. I wish I could have her representing me from the beginning. I would highly recommend utilizing her services for any and all immigration situations.

I will highly recommend Ms. Syed. We hired her for our immigration i-485 process. She is an amazing attorney and kind human being. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. All my questions were answered appropriately and my doubts were always reassured. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome eventually me and my wife are Green card holders and will always remember Ms. Syed on our thoughts and prayers.
