It is my honor and privilege to have known Yemi and to provide this unqualified review of her, as a person and as one of the best immigration attorneys in San Jose and the surrounding areas that I know. I have been benefitted by her expertise, knowledge, and professionalism. She is truly a trusted advisor. Most importantly, to me, she cares about and is committed to her clients. For her, going the extra mile is not only a metaphor; indeed, she will travel that extra mile for you. She makes your journey her own, and holds no bar in helping you achieve your immigration goals in the United States. I would look no further and hire her today!

My family and I are incredibly grateful to Medya Ansari and her team for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. They were patient, communicative, and kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we fully understood the process. Medya was upfront about the possible outcomes and risks, providing us with clear guidance. Once we decided to move forward, she was persistent and committed to finding a solution. We truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her and her team!

The Getachew & Ansari immigration lawyers are the best so far as far as l am concerned. They lawyers, especially Medya Ansari, know how to ask the right questions to support a client, and the client can tell his/her story. They captured my pains in writing that did the 50% tales to the immigration agents. I was well prepared to face my immigration problems, and l learned that the best approach is to tell the truth

Words can not express my gratitude to the wonderful staff and attorneys at Getachew & Ansari Immigration Attorneys. Yemi brought hope to my case, with experience and efficiency. Medya made the journey safe and simple, ending with satisfaction and joy.

We could have not picked out a better advocate. Apart from having a wealth of knowledge and being a highly skilled professional in immigration law, Yemi also connected with us at a personal level. Yemi Getachew gets a five star rating because she is competent, empathetic, and accessible.
Yemi had made what would have been a lengthy and complicated process more straightforward and manageable. She is also very creative and thinks outside outside of the box. Although I tend to fret a lot during stressful situations, Yemi constantly maintained a calm and reassuring demeanor by which we gained confidence from. She was very open, honest, and realistic with us. She was by our side throughout the immigration process clear up to our interview; hence, our interview was a great success thanks to the extensive prep work that she had gone over with us.
As an individual that had immigrated here herself, Yemi was able to relate to me in a personal level while also maintaining her professionalism. It truly felt reassuring to have an advocate that was able to empathize with us.
Last but not least, Yemi was and is always accessible. She would diligently call and update us about our case and how to prepare for the next steps of the process. We never felt alone throughout our immigration process and knew that we were in good hands.
I highly recommend Yemi Gatachew without reservations to anyone who is seeking legal immigration services. As a matter of fact I found out about her from a close friend who had undergone a complicated immigration case. She handled it exceptionally well and has done an excellent job representing my wife and I as well.

Yemi Getachew! Well where can I start?
I had the pleasure of being recommended to Yemi Getachew by multiple Eritrean/Ethiopian people, who had the opportunity of being her clients once. I was in a desperate situation where i have been given a 30 day final notice to appeal my declined self petition to court. I didn't have a lawyer at that time, however i had gotten advice from a lawyer which led me to even a worser situation. I was desperate and hopeless. So a few days later after i finally got the chance to meet Yemi in her office, I walked out with some hope. It was a strong case. She was forward with me, told me it was going to be hard and that its not guaranteed to win but we will do our best. People told me she was the best immigration lawyer, I didn't believe it until I got the chance to work with her. She managed to help me with my asylum case in a very short limited time! She starts out being rough and very forward but only for your own benefit! She will be with you throughout the entire time holding your hands and won't give up until she wins the case! I really didn't think i was going to win, but a month later I was granted asylum with the help of Yemi! I heard she has yet to lose a case!.. I am surprised she doesn't have alotta reviews on yelp but than it made sense, Its cause all her clients are non-english speakers that are not familiar with yelp or any other app yet! They are just desperate for help from terrible situation. I would honestly say its been a GREAT PLEASURE WORKING WITH HER! She has changed my life.and I would recommended her to everybodyyyyyyy in desperate situations.. Shes the best immigration lawyer out here!!! And i hope she continues to change peoples lives! (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!)

I had a wonderful experience with Getachew & Ansari Immigration Firm. I was referred to them by another lawyer I trust and have known for a long time. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable working with Medya, who was thorough and maintained an optimistic attitude toward my case involving prosecutorial discretion.

My wife and I came into Getachew’s law office unsure of my future. Speaking with Medya gave us a sense of security and hope for a positive outcome. Fast forward a couple of years and I’m so thankful and happy I came to Getachew & Ansari’s law office. My family is grateful for all your help. Thanks again!
