Everyone at this law firm is very professional and nice to work with, especially Attorney Medya Ansari. She is phenomenal. Today, my friend was granted asylum because of Medya's hard work, preparation, and guidance. Ms. Ansari is thorough, compassionate, dedicated, detailed, accommodating, and easy to work with. We are so happy and fortunate to have found the law firm through a simple Google search. I would highly recommend using their services for immigration matters. Congratulations on winning another case!

I had a fantastic experience with Medya and her team. My case was really complicated, and many other immigration attorneys said they wouldn't take it. Medya found a way to make it successful. They worked really hard, and we won it. I'm forever grateful to her and her team (Helen and Rudy), who were on point all the time. Thanks again.

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.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Media Ansari at Getachew and Ansari Immigration Attorneys. From the very first consultation, Media was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. She took the time to thoroughly understand my case and provided clear, honest guidance every step of the way.

Going through the asylum process is extremely stressful, but Media's professionalism and dedication gave me confidence and peace of mind. She was always available to answer my questions, explain legal terms in ways I could understand, and ensure that all documents were meticulously prepared and submitted on time.

Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my case had a successful outcome, and I truly believe I could not have done it without her. I highly recommend Media Ansari and the entire team at Getachew and Ansari to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate immigration representation. They are truly the best in the field!

It is my honor to have met Yemi, and to provide this unqualified review of her, as a person and as one of the best immigration attorneys 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 just 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!

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.
