If you're looking for results, professionalism and an honest opinion about your case then look no further Shifa Soressa is your man! He will definitely do everything he can to deliver. He responds in a timely manner, nor is he money hungry. He was not only informative but encouraging and optimistic throughtout the whole process. He does what he does from the heart and that's why today I can say my dream of over 30 yrs has finally come true. I got my green card after years of lost hope. And now my 3 kids can reap the benefits of this gain and I can ensure them a brighter more promising future. Words cant explain my gratitude for his exceptional services.

Word cannot describe, he is the best and honest lawyer. He reviewed my immigration history, reviewed my case with me in detail, guided me through. We were kept informed of the progress of my case through the system and enables me to now freely live and work as a productive person.

Shifa is the most honest and compassionate person I have dealt with. I was introduced to him after being given the round around by various lawyers after my difficult immigration case. At my first meeting ,he gave me no assurance but was very honest and straight forward with me about the approach to my case. He explained every step of the process and what he can do and wouldn't do. He apply the law in a very meticulous fashion. He was always available to answer questions and ease my concerns anytime there was any delays. If you ever needed a GOOD lawyer to represent you, one who would be on your side and apply the law in a honest and legitimate way pick up a phone and call Shifa.

I have had Shifa Soressa work on the different phases of my case for the last 3 years or more ,he is also working on my sisters case with the same consistency in the quality of his work. He handles every question with patience and responds in a very accurate and easy to understand manner. I mostly appreciate how professional he and his staff are.

Mr. Soressa is unquestionably a cut above the rest!!!! I had a long, harrowing journey through the immigration court, and thanks to this fine attorney, I won Cancellation of Removal which prevented me from being separated from my sick mother, and enables me to now freely live and work as a productive, legal, US resident. Prior to hiring Mr. Soressa, I was represented by an attorney whose work was shoddy at best, and whose approach to my case was apathetic and even callous, at worst. Mr. Soressa took my case at the eleventh hour, and did within a time-frame of days, superb work that should have taken months to complete. From the minute I met him, he had a vested interest in my case which is very important for a client. He answered my questions, addressed my concerns, and was knowledgeable about my case, the procedures and the entire process. While he could not offer guarantees, which I could not have reasonably expected, he promised to give me his best effort, and indeed he did. He had to start by fixing several deficiencies in my case that the previous attorney had caused. With a great sense of urgency, he typed up and compiled paperwork to put my case together, rushed back and forth to the court to retrieve and review documents pertaining to my case, all the while being meticulous, dotting every "I" and crossing every "T" so that when he was finished, he had a thoroughly prepared case to present to the honorable judge and government attorney. Oh, and I did not have to break the bank to pay him either. His reasonable fee relative to his excellent representation, is comparable to getting a Mercedes Benz for the price of a Honda Civic!! I cannot sing the praises of Mr. Soressa enough! If you want an attorney who is an expert in removal defense and all matters concerning immigration, and who goes above and beyond because he genuinely cares about his clients, your search stops here!! This man gets five stars and his AVVO rating should be a 10!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Soressa!!! Tammy

My wife attorney transferred us to Shifa the very day we were going for my interview. He responded promptly met us, went through our documents and took us to the interview room. I was given 10 years green card just as he told us before the interview after going through our document. He is so professional and good at what he does.
