This firm has long been the local experts on asylum law and they continue to be the best in the Bay Area. Medya is so knowledgeable and stays apprised of all nuances and changes in current immigration law. Medya answered some questions for me and I was really impressed with the depth of her knowledge, her compassion and commitment to excellence.

Medya is truly an amazing lawyer. She really takes care of all the details. She helped thoroughly throughout my Wava case. She made sure to take her time and make sure she gets all the details from the client and connect me with good therapist to really help me and get the details for my case. They also helped me with all the other details like making sure I get my work permit and renewing it. They are always quick to update you about your case. Medya also came to the interview with me and helped me with that as well. She is really detail oriented and all the other people in the office assisting her are great as well. Thanks
