Ali R. Nassiripour has practised immigration law for more than 22 years, representing individuals, families and employers in the matters where the stakes are highest: asylum, removal defense, detained cases and appeals. He built the firm on a simple principle, which is to prepare every case as if it will be tried and to tell every client the truth about it.

His practice covers Immigration Court litigation, detained representation, EOIR and BIA matters, USCIS filings, and a growing business immigration practice including L and O visas for founders, professionals and companies. He is licensed in the State of New York, registration number 4189924, and admitted to the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.

Born in Iran, he practises in English, Farsi and French and works with clients in Spanish. He studied at Universite Paris-Sorbonne, holds an M.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Political Science, French and Economics, and took his J.D. at St. John's University School of Law.

Immigration deadlines are short and they are enforced. A notice to appear, a bond hearing, a request for evidence and a thirty-day appeal window all run on the government's schedule rather than yours, which is why the first review of a case happens quickly.

Clients describe his approach as direct. An immigration case is rarely helped by optimism; it is helped by reading the whole record before deciding how to act. Whether the matter is an asylum hearing, a detained bond application or an L-1 petition, the first step is the same: understand the facts properly, then explain the realistic options in plain language.

The firm is based in Santa Ana and appears in immigration court and before USCIS across the country. Clients are kept informed in their own language at every stage.
