"The moment that I saw the RFE response, I was convinced that it was a done
deal this time. Throughout the process, my paralegal and attorney were very
helpful and professional. I am sure that I will recommend your services to
my friends, too. Once again, great job and thank you!"

"This is a very professional immigration attorney services and I have no
hesitations in recommending this to my friends. The attorney answered my
questions honestly and the way he answered my questions gave me peace of
mind and that is priceless."

"To work with the Murthy Law Firm was
like a dream come true. They have the expert touch, timely and correct
advice, appropriate guidance, an objective approach to the case, care and
reassurance, and solutions to every conceivable problem, and overall exhibit
class like true royalty. They offer the best professional legal services of
any company I have come across. They ensure client satisfaction from the
introductory meeting until you get your immigration papers in hand. Customer
satisfaction seems to be their key corporate philosophy. The entire legal
team - attorneys and paralegals - are brilliant, able to answer questions
clearly and thoroughly. The quality of work, timely replies, and excellent
communication skills of the paralegal on my case were outstanding. The
quality of customer service she provided to me, with my limited knowledge of
the immigration process and procedures, was invaluable and so appreciated. I
owe a sense of gratitude to Ms. Sheela Murthy and the Murthy Law Firm for
being there for my family and me."
Dr. Rajender Thusu
San Antonio, TX
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I scheduled my consultation with the Murthy Law Firm during the worst days
of life. I was in middle of an immigration crisis, frustrated by
misguidance from other attorneys and on the edge of giving it up. During my
initial consult with the Murthy attorney, I was made aware of the harsh
reality of my situation, was given a realistic expectation and, above
everything else, was given compassionate support. Throughout the case, I
felt a part of a very well organized, professional, and efficient team.
After my successful J-1 waiver, when I continued to my green card
application, the support continued seamlessly. I had guidance without unwanted extra expenditures, helping me to acquire my green card. I will always be grateful to the Murthy Law Firm."
Munish Sharma, MD
Baltimore, MD
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I was disappointed when my case went for administrative processing, as it
already had been over a year without not much progress. I consulted a number
of different attorneys and was frustrated by the opinions of them all. A
friend told me to contact the Murthy Law Firm. Although my case was very
complicated, the lawyers at the Murthy Law Firm did an outstanding job in
getting my immigrant visa. Their strategy to solve the case seemed a bit
different, but it definitely worked out for me. They are very organized,
work as a team, and handle every case with ease and very professionally. I
would definitely recommend the Murthy Law Firm for any immigration needs."
Salah Uddin

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"The process of selecting an attorney for a green card is very challenging
and can be frustrating. My experience with [the] Murthy [Law Firm] was
excellent and very professional. I will recommend Murthy to anyone who may
be considering filing for an EB1 category."
Vikrant Vats

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I have always praised the Murthy Law Firm. I would again say that Sheela
Murthy's team is the best. The firm has been extremely kind and generous to
me and Ms. Sheela Murthy has proven that great people can be most humane and
humble. The firm has treated me very compassionately always, and I credit my
stay in the U.S. to them. Had it not been for them, I certainly would have
been lost. I never had any complaint about anything with them. Everyone was
professional and efficient. You need not worry if the Murthy Law Firm has
taken your case!"
Vandana Nayyar Sethi
Jersey City, NJ
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Murthy Law Firm has been very helpful and played a proactive role in
ensuring that my GC application was processed promptly. The whole process
was handled in an extremely professional manner from prompt communication
with clients regarding change in processing rules, change in application
status, and sending USCIS communication specific to my case, etc. They also
worked hard for fairness and justice during the July 2007 fiasco, making
sure our voices reached USCIS authorities... . I highly recommend using the
Murthy Law Firm for all immigration matters."
Aravind Murarishetty
Bellevue, WA
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I was referred to Murthy Law Firm by a friend who had high regards for
Attorney Murthy for solving his complicated case. Having not-so-great an
experience with other law firms, I can definitely say my experience with
Murthy Law Firm was highly satisfactory. I will recommend their services to
whoever is in need. Thanks again!"
Jayesh Shah

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Since December 2007, I've used services of the Murthy Law Firm for the
filing of my green card application and H1B extension application. I've been
extremely pleased by the hard work and professional conduct displayed by the
paralegal assigned to my case. It was a difficult case because of some
oversights by my previous attorney for the H1B renewal. The Murthy Law Firm
made sure that all the documentation is collected timely and kept my company
management and me in the loop regarding the progress on case preparation and
filing. Timing was critical and my paralegal made sure that the approval
notice was sent expeditiously, once it was received by the Murthy Law Firm.
Thanks for making the process smooth and seamless. I won't hesitate to
recommend Murthy Law Firm to my friends and acquaintances."
Abhishek Gupta
Roswell, GA
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I would like to thank you for your work on my case. I
especially appreciated your attention to detail and prompt responses from
[the attorney and paralegal working on my case]. It was also very refreshing
to be treated like an intelligent person, with all communications being
clear, to the point and without a condescending attitude. That was a
wonderful difference from what I have encountered at some other immigration
law firms. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of my
friends."
Vladimir Shapovalov

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"... I cannot forget the consistent and regular communication, untiring
support and the comfort that you have given throughout the process. There
are several times you have gone out of the way to reassure me. I [knew] all
the time that my case was being handled by an honest and sincere attorney.
..."
Udaya Kumar

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I am glad I
approached the Murthy Law Firm and am happy to say that the law firm does
its best in understanding its clients’ unique problems and comes up with
approaches to resolve the issues after looking at all other options. The
attorney-and-paralegal team do a very good job of explaining the approach to
clients. Simply put - No shortcuts! The website portal is also a very
effective way of communicating and sharing documents. The team responds
quickly to queries posted on the portal. Thanks for everything!"
Anshu Goyal

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I was
referred to the Murthy Law Firm by a friend who is a former client. I did
not expect that a firm which is so renowned would even listen to me, as I
had no money for engaging its services then. I am still touched by the
warmth of these attorneys and the way they have dealt with me. The firm is
handling my VAWA petition. This is the best thing to happen to me in this
country following many horrible experiences because of my abusive marriage.
I know I am in best hands and my attorneys do not regard me as only their
client, but as a family member. They are as protective towards my rights and
my case as if they were my Angels. I cannot imagine being here without them.
They have not looked at my situation as lawyers, wanting to grab money at
any possible step, but in a very humanitarian manner. I feel respected and
treated with empathy. I recommend Attorney Sheela Murthy and her team of
attorneys at the Murthy Law Firm to anyone who needs help in immigration
matters. I wish the same firm could help me with issues other than
immigration, for which I have not been able to find equal expertise!"

"I have used
your services since 2004. Your office arranged for the 3-year extension of
an H1B for an employee at my company. You very successfully handled an
employment-based green card case for the H1B employee at my company. I
discovered your firm on the internet and decided to set up an eMail
consultation in August 2004. I was truly, deeply impressed by the attorney's
comprehensive, extremely insightful, and even compassionate response. Not
only was your firm successful with this case, but the approval was granted
many, many months ahead of the expected date. I will recommend your firm at
any opportunity. I take the liberty to draw a parallel between your firm and
my (very small) company: We say what we do and we do what we say!
"And so you did -
very successfully."

"It gives me a great pleasure to inform you that my wife and I we both got
our green cards. It is a huge relief for us, especially having struggled for
more that two years. My wife and I both appreciate your help and would like
to thank you from bottom of our hearts. Working with you has been a great
experience. I would recommend the Murthy Law Firm to all my friends and
family."

"While the hope is blurry, you hold a lamp.
When the way is confused, you lend a hand.
At the depths of despair, you send a kind word.
In moments of pain, you give comfort.
In times of loneliness, you touch our soul.
Thank you for being a true
advisor / friend / sister / attorney!"

"I hired the
Murthy Law Firm (MLF) to handle my
AC21 portability case. The firm's reputation in immigration was one
of the key reasons that I hired MLF,
even though I live in California. The
attorney and the paralegal for my
case are both very professional and
knowledgeable. The attorney called
me a few times on his own to help me in resolving this case. I did not even
solicit his call. I highly appreciate the
Murthy Law Firm's help in this case."
Abu Rokanuzzaman

"Sheela Murthy has done a lot of pro-bono work for the immigrant
community. She has spent a lot of her time to provide her knowledge to help
immigrants who desperately need the legal services but cannot always afford
it. She has been answering hundreds of U.S. immigration law related
questions on IMMNET - the immigration forum of the India Network for free.
Herself an immigrant, I am sure that she feels their anxieties and
uncertainties. This perspective probably prompts her to help them in any
manner that she can. Her service has no parallel in the history of
volunteerism and selfless services to the immigrant community (both rich and
poor) around the World."

"Our company is very confident in the expertise provided by Attorney
Murthy's Law Office. The service Ms. Murthy and her staff for our company
pertains to U.S. Immigration Law in the area of Employment Based Immigration
and Non- Immigrant cases (i.e. H1B, Labor Certifications, Immigration Law
Advice). Ms. Murthy and her staff stay on top of the latest issues by
attending Immigration Conferences and being an active member of the American
Immigration Lawyers Associations. Our company has always been given
expedient service by her Office in providing us with the news of the many
changes in Immigration Laws Working in Immigration for the past year and a
half, I would highly recommend the services of Ms. Murthy and her staff.
They have repeatedly provided us with the most outstanding, diligent,
knowledgeable information and services. We know that if we have a question
or concern that we can get a prompt expertise reply from Ms. Murthy and her

"I am certain that anyone that has used the services of the Law office
of Sheela Murthy has nothing but high praise for her work. I would however
like to comment on the personal side of Ms. Murthy. Throughout my dealings
with her, I have found her to be really patient, easy to talk to, always
friendly, courteous and helpful. She possesses superb people skills - makes
you feel like a friend rather than a "client." I believe that
lawyers with qualities like these are extremely rare - these traits take her
beyond the stereotypical lawyer! Her Office staff is also very helpful,
knowledgeable and well trained."

"The team at Sheela Murthy's office uses communications technology to the
benefit of its clients. Telephone calls and eMails are responded to quickly.
The website is the best I have found, with timely reports on immigration
news written in language that non-lawyers can understand! Putting my case in
their hands, I feel secure and that my money is well spent in hiring them.
Save yourself the headache of trying to find a cheap immigration lawyer and
sleep better at night!"

"I think that Sheela Murthy is the best immigration lawyer in the United
States, certainly one of the most knowledgeable in the area of U.S.
immigration law. I also received excellent service from Sheela Murthy's
Office. It is amazing how quickly and efficiently you managed my green card
approval. As a prospective client and then a client, I have found the Office
staff to be very professional, efficient, courteous and prompt. They are
always helpful in providing necessary information and answering any
questions/concerns. Another attorney informed me that I did not qualify for
either Extraordinary Ability or National Interest Waiver, but you managed to
do the impossible and obtained approvals in both categories. I would
recommend the services of this office anytime! A person should be lucky to
have you as their lawyer."

"As an employer I can attest to Attorney Murthy's dedication,
professionalism, ethics and results! Her responsiveness is outstanding; she
is always accessible by phone. The personal attention our firm receives
cannot be matched by the larger law firms. As a Harvard Law School graduate,
she brings to each case her impressive expertise. Attorney Murthy is
knowledgeable and current with the ever-changing immigration laws, which is
so important today. If you need to find an efficient, ethical and dynamite
immigration lawyer, you've found her!"

"The office charges reasonable fees, the rates are very competitive
nationwide. The fee structure allows us to pay in easy installments. Also,
dealing with Attorney Murthy's office in Baltimore, MD is even more
convenient than using a lawyer in my own city! The use of eMails, phone,
fax and overnight mail makes the distance really unimportant. I have been
told that a majority of her clients are from around the country and the
other parts of the world - a truly international practice! I have no
hesitation in recommending the services of Sheela Murthy to anyone needing
U.S. immigration-related work."

"Before I used the Law Office of Sheela Murthy, I was in real bad shape
with the denial of my labor certification looming ahead. The Notice of
Findings from the U.S. Department of Labor indicated that my previous
attorney had not given much time or attention to my case. Sheela Murthy came
in at the eleventh hour and rescued me and my case. Not only did we receive
an approval, we received it within two weeks - thanks to the outstanding job
done by her!"
Siva Subramaniam

"I will never be able to thank you enough for you legal assistance. And
you can quote me for this: "words are so limited in any modern language
that they can hardly express my gratefulness for your team work. However,
words are the only means I have to communicate how outstanding,
professional, and efficient was your legal assistance in my case. You placed
yourself in my shoes, felt my need, and also demonstrated the remarkable,
top quality individual that you are with your clients. Your concern shows
how much you care for them at the personal level. I was particularly
impressed by your speediness in obtaining my H1-B1 worker's visa and what is
more amazing for the second time in a row. May God bless you more abundantly
than words can ever express..."

Murthy. I really appreciate your fool-proof scrutiny and filing with
exact documentation [that] helped me to get this approval without any issues.
....
"I really thank each and everyone at your offices and I don't have any
hesitation in recommending any of your services to my friends and
colleagues. Thanks!"

"I am writing to thank you and congratulate you on establishing a
top-notch team of experts in the I-140 Department. In particular, I am
grateful to [your NIW Coordinator] for her excellent efforts in securing the
approval of my I-140 NIW application in 4 months and my I-140 EB1 (EA) in
less than a month! It is also worth mentioning that I first came to you
about 7 months before the expiration of 6 years of my H1B!
"In addition, I must commend your team for establishing a professional and
streamlined process, which is nonetheless tailored to individual
circumstances. The difficult part of these applications is always the
uncertainty - the patience, knowledge, and response of your team allayed my
doubts at every step of the process. For this, I am very thankful to your
team.
"To all your future clients, I would like to say, 'You are in excellent
hands!'"
