How to verify your immigration attorney and avoid scams

Vulnerable people are targeted by immigration scams every day. Here is how to check a license, what a guaranteed result really means, and what to walk away from.

Immigration law is complex, and vulnerable people are targeted by scams every day. Protecting your future starts with a clear way of checking who is actually representing you, what they are licensed to do, and what they are allowed to promise.

No guaranteed results

The clearest red flag is a promise of a guaranteed result. No attorney controls the final decision of an immigration judge or of USCIS, and ethical practice requires honesty about risk. Anyone who guarantees an outcome is telling you something they cannot know.

Verify the license

Every legitimate immigration attorney is licensed. Ali Nassiripour is licensed in the State of New York, registration number 4189924, which anyone can verify through the New York State Unified Court System.

Immigration is federal law

Immigration is federal law. An attorney licensed in any U.S. state may represent clients in immigration matters nationwide and at U.S. consulates.

Nassiripour Law Firm focuses on complex litigation, removal defense and asylum. We prioritize transparency and honest case assessments.
