Shilpa is not only a true professional but she is dedicated and caring. She guided me through my application to its successful completion. She was patient with my numerous questions, considered my suggestions, and was always honest with me. She believed my case was strong and helped to build my own confidence. I highly recommend Shilpa to anyone looking for a great attorney who actually cares about her clients. Thank you Shilpa!

I reached out to Shilpa and her Law firm back in November 2017 to help me with my E2 visa process. Shilpa was the 11th attorney I had reached out to in less than a month. The way she took the time to understand my case and guide me during our 30 minutes initially call made me take my decision quite easily and don't regret at all! I've worked with Shilpa and her team for 5 months and got my E2 visa approved yesterday! (April 2018) She was always available and always brought piece to my mind with her advices and guidance. I recommend anyone applying for the E2 visa to hire her firm, I guarantee you will be successful! Thank you again, Shilpa!

Ashley and Shilpa provided their services to prepare a response for H1B RFE back in December 2017. The RFE received was very critical which could have caused potential Family separations. Both the lawyers are exceptional professionals and did thorough analysis of the case and responded with the best possible arguments. Within couple of weeks we were able to receive an H1B approval. They were available for questions through out the time and did a great job. I would highly recommend their services!!

Our search for a knowledgeable and courteous immigration law firm came to an end, when we landed on SGM webpage. Up until that point, we were not entirely convinced about the information obtained from various other immigration lawyers and many of them were exorbitantly pricey for the value they seem to offer. Subsequent to our initial conversation with attorney Shilpa Malik, we were rest assured that our dealing with their law firm would be a smooth affair. Shilpa diligently answered all our questions in a timely manner. Right from the initial consultation, to all the way after we got our investor visa, we were subjected to high level of professionalism and most importantly respect, by Shilpa and team. They explained to us very patiently about the process, protocols as well as prepared us adequately for the interview at the consulate. Our dealing with Shilpa and team has primarily been virtual- viz phone calls and emails. Even though, we did not meet them in person (there was no reason to), this is one law firm who will provide clients with sincere value added services and we highly recommend them.

I fully recommend this practice. They worked for me on a visa application while I was outside of the country. They guided me through every step of the way. Their work ethic and professionalism were always of a very high standard. They essentially understand immigration law and practice and have a no frills attitude to work.

My wife and I were successful in our application and their assistance was so useful. I give them all 5 stars.

i have just received our passports from the US Consulate, with the approved visa stamped.I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for being there since the very beginning and helping me through out this whole process. Working with you was easy and very quick. Your attention to details and making sure that every document was in proper order and form was instrumental in making sure every document submitted was accepted on the first presentation. I really liked your prompt responses to my emails and answers to all of my questions, which I know I had many throughout the whole process. For me it was really important that I could reach my attorney and could speak to you directly without waiting hours/days for a call back. I'm impressed with the caliber of your work, I really appreciate your help. I highly recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues for future immigration issues. I wish you all the success. Thanks again.

Attorney Shilpa Malik was amazing, she was very helpful during my persecution (hardship) waiver process and she made all the effort to make sure everything was ready before submitting and she knows the ways to increase the chances of getting the approval. And she called me last week to give the happy news that the waiver got approved. Thanks a lot to Shilpa Malik and Steve Valencia for all the effort and making it real.

Attorney Shilpa Malik was of great help during my process to obtain permanent residency in the United States. She is very knowledgeable about the immigration process and was able to answer all my questions without ambiguity. I booked several consultations with her and appreciated her ability to simplify a complex process into a set of clear-cut instructions and advice that led to my application being processed smoothly. Shilpa clearly values her clients' results and genuinely wants to see them succeed.

I approached Shilpa regarding my future plans and concerns over maintaining my greencard. After frustration with my then immigration attorney, Shilpa calmy and reassuringly presented me with my options. I knew instantly that she was the attorney I needed to guide me through this ongoing process. Leading on from this, given my enormous satisfaction with her help and care, we then started the process for my partner to apply for his greencard. This was complicated and at times stressful, but Shilpa and her assistant Steve made this long process as smooth as was possible and we are now delighted that my partner has been approved and we can now make future plans. I really cannot thank Shilpa and her team enough. I would not hesitate in recommending Shilpa to anybody who needs immigration advice.

Shilpa is quick to respond to queries and helped me get an H1-B transfer. I was running very tight with my application deadline and Shilpa made sure my application was received by the office in barely 9 days.

I had amazing experience working with Shilpa & Ashley; both were very helpful and because of them my case approved in EB1; I am thankful for insight Ashley provided me to tailor the petition properly. I suggested many of my friends to check with Law office of Shilpa Malik before they come to a conclusion on their immigration matters. I highly recommend them for all your immigration needs.

After a 30 minute consultation I decided to hire Shilpa to help be obtain a TN visa after being denied on my first attempt. She knew exactly what documents would be required and I received my approval just 4 days after my documents were received by USCIS. Shilpa responded to my emails within minutes and always had the right answers to any questions I had. I highly recommend her and her team!

We visited several law firms before finding SGM Law Group. None of the firms that contact could explain and advise me as expected, besides some of them charged exorbitant fees. From my point of view my case involving Visa E2 was complex and I knew I could only rely on expert advisors. But after arrange a personal appointment and go to the interview with the Attorney Shilpa Malik and her team could understand that my case could be submitted and would also approved. Attorney Shilpa Malik knows what she does, she is an excellent professional, she asked accurate documentation, made the necessary questions, I discuss the strategies to follow and deeply familiar with all the details related to Visas similar to my case Investment and knew how to organize the record it was approved in record time. I highly recommend this firm also handles fair rates. If we would only be possible to evaluate grant 100/100. Thanks for your great help and allow my family and I can continue to develop our projects.

Ms. Shilpa Malik is an outstanding lawyer. She has a very responsive and proficient team. We have been using her firm for almost 2 years, every single case has been very successful. She moves forward very fast and maintains an open line of communication throughout the entire process. I will always hire her with confidence that my case is in good hands. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Good morning Atty Malik and team,

I would like to thank you and your amazing team for working on my case in 2014. I am now a green card holder and it couldn’t have been possible if not for your brilliant and hard work on my case. Words can’t say how much I am grateful to you and your team. This success is your success and your firm. I am a living proof of how good you are in your field. I am also thankful my brother-in-law saw you via search online. The reviews are great and true. You are the best!

Shilpa and her team helped me with what many other lawyers had called a very tricky RFE for my H1B application. Shilpa made me feel like no mountain was too hard to climb and brought me and my family a lot of reassurance, support and advice during a time of sheer uncertainty. Her and her team are extremely attentive, responsive and efficent. Her knowledge in the field is of the highest standard, and her prices are extremely affordable compared to what most lawyers were quoting me for the same type of service.

My H1B visa was approved and I couldnt be happier! Thank you Shilpa for making the process as smooth and streamline as possible. I am eternally grateful!

Shilpa Malik is an amazingly competent, thorough, knowledgeable and experienced specialist Immigration Lawyer. We came to her after being frustrated by another lawyer in our quest to set up our business in the USA as part of our company growth strategy. After an initial Free Consultation, she developed an excellent strategy for us to work on. What's reassuring about her work is her responsiveness when ever call upon with issues, questions or clarifications sought. Her strategic insights and specialist knowledge came to bear when our initial petition to the USCIS received a RFE. She provided very effective and reassuring counseling and further developed an even more effective strategic response supported with very convincing legal arguments that saw us received the much coveted Approval!

Her fees are very reasonable particularly relative to the investment we made and the upside of the international expansion we are pursuing. We would strongly recommend Shilpa Malik to any family and small business entrepreneur that require a Specialist Immigration Lawyer!

I cannot express my gratitude to Shilpa and her team! I came to Shilpa after being told by several lawyers that my Request for Evidence for my H-1B case was too difficult and that my previous lawyer had made many mistakes. Some lawyers out right told me they were not able to help and some were charging extortionate amounts. Shilpa's services are very reasonably priced and her attitude was always positive and she gave me hope when I felt lost and confused. She looked over my case promptly and told me her strategy within a week. The case she put together was incredible and I cannot express how grateful me and my family are for all her help. She continues to still be there for any little questions I have. Hands down the most efficient and brilliant lawyer. I would highly recommend Shilpa and her team for all visa related issues, she is incredibly knowledgeable in this space and does not shy away from a challenging case!

I must say that Attorney Malik and Steve Valencia have both been phenomenal during the entire process of H1-B visa applications and the journey to permanent residency (Green Card). I was based in New York and though Attorney Malik and her team are situated in Florida, they responded immediately to my over the phone and email consultation, questions and requests and communicated with me directly and promptly. For a team i have never met personally, they have made this entire journey a very smooth transition for me from beginning to end. I highly recommend their services as they are both extremely reliable, dependable and provide the best services anyone can ask for. Special thanks again to Attorney Malik and Steve and the behind the scenes team!

I am very satisfied with the work done by the Shilpa´s office.
My case was difficult, but Shilpa from the first meeting was honest with me and told me that we had a 50/50 chance of obtaining the NIW visa, and together we dared to continue.
All the team works well, but I want to emphasize that Shilpa is an honored lawyer, she complied with what was agreed and the price paid is in line with the market.
I also want to highlight the lawyer Ms. Gruber, since in one of the first meetings, it was one of her ideas on which we built the case, she was also the one who wrote the letter when USCIS asked us for more evidence for the case.
It is important that if you are reading this comment and you want to apply for an NIW, it is a hard work in which the lawyer helps with your knowledge of the law, writing documents, but it is you who must provide the documentation and look for the arguments that contribute to your case be a success.
Thanks to everyone who helped in my case.

Working with SGM Law Group immediately gave me a degree of undoubtable reassurance that I had chosen the best possible firm to represent my E2 visa application, which in turn was inevitably approved.

Going through this process was extremely mentally challenging and the approval was a life defining moment for me. Shilpa Malik and her team really helped to make my feel important and my case was a priority. Most importantly, I got the sense they genuinely cared and took pride in their service. I've had experience with several law firms in the past who claimed to be "specialists” I can tell you the firms that will deliver against your expectations will come few and far in between. This has been the case for many other people that have unfortunately learnt the hard way after disappointing results at the expense of their time and money. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Shilpa Malik.

My family and I are extremely appreciative of Shilpa Malik and Steve Valencia's work on our E visa applications. The quality of their work was even acknowledged by the Consular Officer which made getting the visa much easier than anticipated. Thank you both for your excellent work. Needless to say, we will return when our visas need renewal. Thanks - Tony.

Over the years i've had numerous types of US visas and worked with different attorneys. Shilpa and her team are by far the best group I've worked with - cost-effective, but extremely efficient, knowledgeable and even when it was looking like my E2 was going to be delayed for months, they stuck with it and coached me along the way and we got it in a matter of weeks. The best I've worked with!

I hired SGM for my EB-1A petition after some other lawyers told me that my case was only good enough for EB-1B, but not for EB-1A. For me lawyer confidence was an important factor. Shilpa was confident from the beginning about the outcome of my case. I liked her willingness to delve into my more obscure success stories which other lawyers didn't care about or said cannot be used. Ashley wrote my petition letter once after all the recommendation letters were received. My petition letter read modest, yet convincing of my overall merit. Ashley used all the points, instead of 3 points as required by USCIS. My case got approved without an RFE (after 8 months wait).

Few places where SGM can improve are - we expected some more feedback on the letters of recommendation, on the EAD renewal process, and a little more vigilance of our case status /letters from USCIS.

However, overall, I had a very positive experience. I am willing to recommend them for not-so-straightforward cases.

My mom and I don't have enough words to thank attorney Malik and Steve for all the help they gave us throughout my mom's naturalization process.
My mom's case was not easy and we went with 3 attorneys in the past and no one was able to help her. Until we came across with attorney Malik who was very professional and helpful and made possible that my mom got her green card . We totally recommend them because they are very knowledgeable, professional, they answer all of your questions and they'll stay with you until the end of the process. They do have vocation, which many professionals do not have nowadays
Thank you attorney Malik and Steve for all of your kind help.

I had the pleasure to work with Shilpa and Ashley towards a O-1 Visa application. Both Shilpa and Ashley were very professional and extremely helpful from the first moment. They made sure that I understand what is expected from me and were always available to respond to any questions. They showed real dedication, interest and commitment to help me with the application and I never felt like a 'client'. This is something very important given how stressful these applications can be for any applicants. Working with individuals that can show emotional empathy was one of the most important criterion for me to select the right lawyers and they definitely met and exceeded my expectations.

I would highly recommend Shilpa's practice.

I used several lawyers and all went wrong until the day I met this Lawyer, she is in my opinion one of the best lawyers you can ever use, she knows exactly what she is doing and she stays on top of your case, since the day we met she did exactly what she planned and we got the Positive Results, we are so happy with their service and I already referred this Law Firm to many people. I think a 5 Stars Rating is not enough for them. Tank you always this is something I will never forget. GREAT JOB. Oscar Jamal

Sometimes the naturalization process does not go as smooth as we would like it to go, and you require the services of an expert to deal with the matter. I searched around to find an attorney that I felt would be suitable to give me the best representation as this is no doubt a very serious, and important matter. I searched various sites to get reviews from others on the quality of service for different attorneys. So many attorneys seemed very interested in obtaining their fees but sometimes not very interested in the details of my case. I found attorney Shilpa Malik to be very interested while being objective and detail oriented in her determination of the best path to handle the case. Additionally, her fees seemed more than reasonable which communicated an interest in being considerate during such a delicate process. Working with her was a pleasure, always responding to my emails and open to my concerns during each step of the process. I don't write as many reviews online as I perhaps should, but I had to share my positive experience as it meant so much to me. Many thanks to attorney Malik and her team. Continue the excellent work you are doing.

OUTSTANDING! Attorney Malik and Attorney Gruber did an excellent job helping to obtain our E2 visa. I was on an L1A which I received through another firm however we needed a change. I also liked that pricing is listed on their website. Most companies want to hide that. After reading the reviews and setting up a consultation, we knew that SGM Law Group were the right firm for us. They are very organized, hard working with excellent communication skills. I will be recommending their services!

Wonderful ! Outstanding ! Incredible ! . Just some of the many words that can be used to describe SGM Law Group, Shilpa Malik and her team. We are a family of 4 and from start to finish Shilpa and Steve were always available by phone, email or office visits. They carefully helped us through the process to get our E2 visas. Even through the long and sometimes unbearable waiting times they kept us believing that we would succeed in the end. Well thanks to their professional handling of our application we did succeed and now are in the US. Shilpa and Steve, thank you for all you have done ! I am excited to recommend them to anyone that wants to make the US dream a reality.

Attorney Malik handled our (me and my family) O-1 & O-3 visas process and recently our Green Card applications. Her knowledge and deep understanding of immigration law was really stunning. When my wife and I remember what she had said to us, whether during the visa or Green Card application, we realized how true and accurate her predictions were. Given the fact that the approval of these special visa and Green Card types is highly subjective and does not have a sort of a “recipe” which allows anyone to easily predict if their case will be approved or not, Shilpa’s honest and clear explanation as well as the accurate anticipation and foresight proved to us how lucky we were to work with her firm.

I called SGM Lawgroup by viewing all the reviews and experiences of many friends who shared on the web,then i called to that law group and explained the situation of mine as my case is quite complicated one(H1B RFE) ,Steve is the person who arranged an telephinic conversation with attorney Shilpa Mallik,i explained about my case and what iam going through then she viewed all the documents and told me that she will work on my case and gave me a positive hope that she will do her best in responding about my case.

she started to work on my case and she did her best and sent the documents to USCIS,many times i called her regarding the response on the case as it is really irritating but she never ignored my call or my message ,she gave me a hope to be positve and confident and to trust her ,i did the same and got the positive result.

Thanks a lot Mallik.......i personally request all my friends to consult her for their legal issues.

Shilpa's analytical ability ,years of experience and professionalism makes her the most thoughtful, thorough, and, most importantly, the most result oriented lawyer I have ever being a client of. She listens carefully to client questions and comments and responds quickly and clearly with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. She is in a class by herself. There is no other immigration lawyer of this caliber. She understands and embraces the human factor associated with her cases I would recommend her to anyone for legal representation.

Shilpa Malik is an extraordinary Immigration attorney and strategist with highly developed proactivity, ability to see the big picture and to assess all critical variables in order to generate effective approaches for her customers.
I see she focuses on actively listening to her customer’s needs and working together with them in order to develop the most appropriate course(s) of action. After that she makes sure to communicate the right expectations to her clients while focusing on over delivering.
This has been exactly my experience and for that reason I am very satisfied with her services and would not hesitate to recommend her to whoever is interested in hiring services of a highly competent Immigration lawyer.
