If you are looking for an honest, responsive, knowledgeable, world class team..look no further than Ballout Law, APC! My partner and I appreciate Mr. Ballout's transparency & confidence to take on our case. He answered all of our questions, the team was responsive, and overall made us feel supported throughout our immigration process (took a little over a year from filing to interview to Green Card approval during covid). Going into our interview we felt prepared and Mr. Ballout was with us every step of the way. Thanks to Ballout Law, APC, my partner was approved for his Green Card visa

I would like to take this opportunity to extend to all of you our humblest gratitude for all the great and hard work, dedication, and due diligence. You and your team showed in the preparation of the I-90 and N-600 application(s). Today marks an Awesome and memorable day because I received my US citizenship! This is a HUGE relief for myself and family after many years of uncertainty. Thankfully, we can now put all of that behind us. You and your team are so kind and professional! We will definitely refer You to Our friends and Family! Thank You again from the bottom of our hearts! :)

Haitham and his team were extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. From the very beginning, Haitham explained to us exactly how the green card process would work, and throughout the application, provided valuable information (e.g. timeline). The paperwork would have been overwhelming for us to handle on our own, but they made it feel very easy and organized. All we had to do was provide the needed documents and meet once in person to verify the paperwork was correct.
Haitham and his staff, especially Vivian, answered our requests extremely fast, including same day updates on the case

I reached out to have a particular question answered and rather than forcing me to schedule a paid consultation Mr. Ballout patiently answered my question after gathering a bit more information. He is very knowledgeable and very responsive. def recommend his services and will reach out if we ever have the need in the future.

Mr. Ballout and his team are the best in the business. From the first consultation my husband and I had with him in 2016, he put us at ease with his calm demeanor and knowledge of the law. We had a case that took many years to complete, and Mr. Ballout was with us every step of the way. He has great follow through, took all of our questions, and was available to us whenever we needed him. My husband is a US Citizen today due to Mr. Ballout and his amazing team! We have worked with and consulted with many other lawyers throughout the years and were never able to get any results. We are so thankful

This review is long overdue. Mr. Ballout and his team represented my husband many years ago but once in a while people will ask for a reference and I always recommend him as the top immigration lawyer. The case was extremely stressful for me and complex. I cannot be more grateful for his professionalism, patience, kindness and expertise. He was the only lawyer who actually gave me hope in the case and he had every reason to keep us hopeful because it was a success in the end. Thank you!

They were very professional when I called them. After scheduling an appointment for me for the same day, Haitham called me back at the exact time agreed on. He was super helpful answering my questions and explaining what my options are. The thing I like the most was that the consultation was free and he didn't try to rush me into hiring him. He told me honestly to contact me if I get to a point when I really need him. Highly recommend.

I normally don't write reviews but I am an avid reader of them and I must say that Mr. Ballout lives up to his 5-star reputation! I had an initial consultation with him where he was very nice and caring. With something as sensitive as immigration matters it is important to find someone who you trust- I highly recommend him!

I needed a lawyer for a very unique immigration issue and contacted several attorneys to get the best opinion and representation. Several attorneys responded to my query with their rates for a consultation and for hiring them. Mr. Ballout's administrative assistant contacted me and asked me to give her a call instead. During the call, there was no discussion of a rate. She only cared about the details of my case. Fortunately, there was an opening for the same day and we scheduled a free Zoom consultation.
During the consultation, Mr. Ballout was very attentive and personable. He genuinely

No experience and needing an immigration attorney, I could not have been luckier thank to have worked with attorney Ballout and his team. We successfully crossed the finish line and could not be more appreciative to have hired such a professional.
If you need immigration representation, look no further.
Thank you Haitham!

Haitham and his wonderful staff are great to work with. They are all very knowledgeable, organized, hard-working professionals who get things done! From the start, Haitham just makes you feel comfortable and trustworthy of him and his practice. He had to drive out to Sacramento court house for our case and was prompt, made sure we were ready by answering all questions we had. I would highly recommend Haitham Ballout!

This is my 3rd time working with Mr. Ballout and I cannot be happier. He is very detailed oriented, responsive, honest and absolutely professional. His knowledge and experience always make me feel calm and confident. My parents were involved in the last case, they don't speak English but Mr. Ballout somehow has managed the communication with them and makes them feel comfortable. Every time I have a questions to Mr. Ballout, he has an answer for me quickly either via email or by phone call. His office is extremely engaged and keeps updated immediately if any info receives. I absolutely recommend
