Law Offices of Shamieh & Ternieden

I have had the opportunity for the Law Offices of Mr. Elias Shamieh to handle my case from A-​Z with professionalism and integrity. I felt in safe hands from day one while presenting my case to Mr. Shamieh. I would like to extend my gratefulness to all his staff generally and Mr. Shamieh personally for the honesty and client/​lawyer confidentiality throughout the whole process. On a different occasion I have recommended his office to my immediate member of my family and with no doubt same results success with the immigration case. I highly recommend his services to any immigrant whether applying for change of status /​asylum/​spousal visa etc… his work ethics and success history precedes him.

I wrote a review a year ago but somehow it didnt get rated. This is a rewrite of a long overdue review…
I received my greencard in 2013. Many thanks to Atty Shamieh, Atty Mandip & staff for seeing it through the end with me. My case was complicated and I have consulted with several lawyers who could not recommend any solution to my case. But with Atty Shamieh’s vast experience and knowledge of Immigration law, he was able to navigate me and my what seemed hopeless case to a wish come true.
Thank you Atty Shamieh & Atty Mandip! Because of you I was able to spend Christmas in my country finally after 12 years. I highly recommend the Law office of Shamieh for immigration issues.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Elias as he was my mothers lawyer when she applied for her green card. He’s very honest and very straight forward and he works with such confidence in what he does that it makes you feel as if your dealing with the right person. I’m so thankful for having met him and for him working my moms case, it was all a success and my mom was able to obtain her green card. He is currently working my dads case and I’m very confident in his ability as an immigration lawyer. I highly recommend Elias for anyone looking to obtain their green card, or for any other immigration services. Very professional and friendly staff. Thanks for your work! We very much appreciate you!
My moms words: he works out a great deal for you and he makes you feel confident in achieving what your there for.
I’m a little late on posting this review as I had promised him I would give him a 5 start review for all of his hard work, but I wouldn’t forget to review all of his appreciated work! Thank you! (:

Mr. Shamieh has assisted numerous members of our family with obtaining U.S. Citizenship over the past 20+ years. He and his staff are very knowledgable and professional. We have had experience with several attorneys in this office and have been extremely satisfied. My husband is in the middle of a nasty case of identity theft and is being sued in New York City by a truly corrupt company. (Northern Leasing Systems… google it if you dare!) We contacted Mr. Shamieh and he referred us to Anne Barhoum, an associate attorney in his office whom he felt was the most knowledgable about this kind of thing. She is absolutely wonderful. She helped us to fully understand my husband’s rights and the costs associated with fighting the case. As a matter of principal, my husband wants to make sure the company does not obtain a default judgement, even though the amount in question is only a couple thousand dollars. Mrs. Barhoum got on the phone with a court clerk in NYC and helped us figure out how my husband can self-​represent himself without having to travel to New York, which would cost more than the total amount he is being sued for. We were happy to pay her for an hour of her time (she actually spent more time than that with us), and are confident that her advice will lead to the case being dismissed. We didn’t know quite how to approach this, but Mrs. Barhoum has been a lifesaver. She also helped us figure out which government agencies to file complaints against the company with and how to do that. After more than three years dealing with this company, there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. And by the way, it occurs to me that if Mr. Shamieh hadn’t helped my husband with his citizenship 20 years ago, I may not have even met him. Thank you so much!

I highly recommend the Law office of Shamieh for immigration issues.

I have referred cases to and/​or worked with Elias and the Law Offices of Shamieh and Ternieden for many years. We enjoy our working relationship and have found that tax matters often intersect with immigration law. We have found a way to coordinate these interrelated problems to the benefit of the clients.
Recently, we had the opportunity to experience Elias’ representation in a more direct manner when he and his team, Tatianna and attorney Ana Olmos, assisted one of my employees with an H1b visa. Their representation of her demonstrated their in depth knowledge of immigration law and what needs to be established for an employer sponsored visa. I found them to be timely and thorough with their requests for information, as well as, extremely professional while caring for my employee. Moreover, the final product was organized, beautifully written, and the exhibits they identified (and helped us to identify) seemed to tighten up the application in a manner that the government could not help but to accept.
I strongly recommend Elias and the entire Law offices of Sheamieh and Ternieden for immigration law.

i was a client at this office and i applied for a green card… first of all me and my wife were completely neglected and him and his attorney and secretaries will sometimes completely ignore my calls and my voice mell… crook to avoid i dont advice anybody running an application for green card to go with this guy

I heard about Mr Shamieh through friends who recommended him, and I honestly can not thank them enough, that is why i wanted to share my experience with you ,
having come across lots of immigration lawyers, I can honestly say that Mr Shamieh is the most experienced, professional, trustworthy and caring attorney I know of.
He explained to me all the steps of my procedure (I will soon receive my Green card), my case was not an easy case but with his 20 + years of experiences, he knew very well my options and the right application for me.
His fees are affordable too.
I am thankful to Mr Shamieh, Miss Mandip (she is an excellent attorney too, they work together) and all his staff who changed my life and the life of my family, the communication in his office is primordial .
I highly recommend his services —
Thank you again

Mr. Shamieh’s Law firm is very professional in what they do. I called up their firm & needed to get consulting about helping my family getting proper documentation to come from over seas. Mr. Shamieh was very delighted & eager to help with situation promptly. We scheduled an appointment to consult in person. Upon my appointment, all I couldn’t help to notice is the professionalism within the firm itself. From the moment I walked in it was very organized & the helpful people working within the firm greeted me right as I came in! Mr. Shamieh took great care into paying attention to my situation & was very informative with updates until completion of a very successful case. My hat goes off to you Mr. Shamieh, much appreciation to you for helping my family come closer together from such a great distance.

The person who wrote a review did not give a fair review. The website stated a free consultation but it was a misprint by the creator of the site. Had she given the law office a chance to correct these mistakes rather than writing a poor review she would of had the chance to experience a wonderful lawyer who helped me through my case. Mr. Shamieh is very knowledgeable about the law, he was patient through the process when I had given up hope and he was very helpful!!!
Thank you Law offices of Shamieh! You guys rock!

False advertisement.
On their website they say «call today for free consultation» but when you call they request 150 $.
Not a good start to deal with a lawyer.
