10 months agoAfter dealing with several immigration attorneys who only seemed to care about money, I wasted so much time and money without any progress on my asylum case. Then I found Haq Law, led by Maleeha Haq, and everything changed. She was the only attorney in the Bay Area who was able to resolve my case after 11 long years of waiting. I can’t thank her and her team enough for their hard work and dedication. If you are seriously seeking help with your asylum case, don’t waste your time and resources elsewhere. Reach out to Maleeha Haq. She is not only highly skilled but also truly respects her clients. She values your time, answers your calls, listens carefully, and treats you and your case with the utmost care. Here’s a short story to illustrate her professionalism and expertise: My final hearing was initially rescheduled by the judge. However, Maleeha requested a 5-minute break, during which she spoke with me, the government attorney, and the judge. Her preparation and advocacy were so effective that all the evidence was quickly reviewed, and my case was decided in my favor that very same day. I was speechless. I hired Maleeha in April 2024, and just months later, she delivered the results I had been waiting for since 2013. Her dedication, kindness, and expertise are unmatched. To anyone struggling with their immigration case: Maleeha Haq is the attorney you need. She is professional, compassionate, and relentless in her pursuit of justice for her clients. Thank you, Maleeha, for everything. You are the best in the world, and I will forever be grateful for your help. May you continue to be blessed.

4 months agoI am pleased to share my experience with Maleeha, who played a pivotal role in securing a favorable outcome for my case. From our first meeting, it was evident that I was in capable hands. Maleeha took the time to listen to my story, ensuring that every detail was captured accurately. This attention to detail was crucial in building a compelling case that highlighted the urgency and validity of my asylum claim. Throughout the process, she was exceptionally communicative, providing regular updates and answering any questions I had. Maleeha and her team were always available to address my concerns, which helped alleviate the stress that often accompanies such legal matters. Their professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction. Moreover, the preparation for the asylum interview was thorough. They conducted a mock interview, which helped me feel more confident and prepared for the actual proceedings.Her guidance on how to present my case effectively was invaluable. Ultimately, my asylum case was granted, and I attribute this success to Haq Law lawyers’ expertise and unwavering support. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking assistance with asylum matters. Their commitment to their clients and their outstanding legal acumen truly set them apart.
