I met Mr. Shawn Sedaghat 25 years ago when I came to US seeking citizenship. His integrity, expertise, & vigorous representation helped me to ultimately obtain citizenship. It is no coincidence, as a lawyer I decided to practice immigration law and I have the privilege of working with Shawn. His knowledge of the law & system is second to none. I have found him to be a "savior" to so many families who want to come to United States. He has surely found freedom that many seek, and so few ever find. View More
