I Malathi for her outstanding service in helping secure a green card visa for our nanny who was from Brazil. Despite the complex and lengthy process spanning over 4 years, Malathi remained deeply involved and committed to our case. Her expertise, diligence, and unwavering support were pivotal in navigating the intricate immigration procedures. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we achieved a successful outcome. I highly recommend The Law Offices of Malathi Benjamin for anyone seeking immigration assistance. More...

I'm grateful for Malathi and her team for their expert support and guidance during the Green Card filing process. I came to Malathi in 2020 after finding her information on Yelp, and she has helped me to successfully apply and receive my Green Card and did it again last year with extension application. All communication was very timely and consistent to give me reassurance in the process. I recommended her services to my a few of my friends who also had a successful case resolution. Thank you Malathi and the team! More...

Malathi is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and considerate. I came to her office for my H1B case and the experience has been amazing. She guided me and my company through the process. I just need to make sure I have done my part right, and with some luck (when it comes to immigration matters, I'm sure there has always been a luck factor to it) and her expertise things have fallen into place. Upon receiving the good news, I am still able to reach out to her for any further questions as I'm trying to navigate this whole new situation. Malathi is top-notch when it comes to addressing these questions, and you can clearly see her dedication and effort she put into her work. I wouldn't think twice choosing Malathi again for any future immigration issue, and I highly recommend her if you are looking for an immigration attorney who truly cares about her clients! More...

Scammer Alert! An acquaintance that supposedly used her services for immigration status change recommended me Malathi Benjamin. At her office she said her first consultation was “free” and gave me a to do list regarding papers that I had to put together. Plus I had to pay her $1000 dollars to move forward (or speak to her again). As soon as I paid her she never responded my to calls, answered my emails or gave me any feedback. She totally took advantage of my inability to navigate the system here under my international student status. I was told I could take her to court for fraud but between school, OPT and having to pay for another attorney to resolve my visa status change, I had to chose the later. Also she is rude, impatient and really only care to cash off vulnerable people. It’s worse if English is not your first language. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND LOSS OF MONEY trying to hire this attorney. Edit after business owner response: I was your client in 2016 and you had an office then. I decided to give you a review now because I found our older emails exchanges and realized that you took advantage of my weak English knowledge, my ignorance of the American legal system and my despair to maintain my legal stance in the country. I’ve shared our emails exchange on your Yelp because it is you. No worries, I’m a citizen now (thanks to a more competent immigration attorney) and changed my legal name upon Naturalization. I have no interest in talking with you over the phone. Because I can’t take you to small claims, my review stands. More...

We selected the office of Malathi Benjamin in February 2023 to help us getting a Certificate of Citizenship for a child who recently inherited citizenship from his mother. Malathi made everything simple for us. She has a great online portal that makes filling up the forms and sending supporting documentation electronically very easy. No paper involved. She wrapped up the preparation within a couple of weeks at a competitive fee. Malathi was also extremely quick and precise when answering our following questions.

While I don't have a lot of experience dealing with any immigration lawyer as this is the first time I applied for Adjustment of Status to be a permanent resident, I am extremely lucky to have found Malathi Benjamin as my lawyer to represent me and help me through this complicated and tedious process. Throughout the entire duration from initially preparing and submitting my application through the final interview, Malathi was always right there patiently giving me sound and innovative advices whenever I needed her help.

I only have to say few words. Professional, knowledgeable, respectful and very honest. I came for a consultation about my sister's and I case, we did not wait a long time like some others. Very friendly and look online and research and fill out a format to plan our case. I have been to other "layers" like a I said layers not lawyers. They just look at the paper i have and say bunch of things not related to my case. To the contrary this office is very polite, friendly and supportive. Consultation price is ok but it is worth the money rather than going somewhere else for free and be in a roller coaster. Thank you. More...

Q&As

I love that my job is so people-oriented, and that I am making a difference in their lives. Letting a client know that he or she has been approved for a status is the best feeling in the world.

My own immigration needs! I've been an attorney for many years, in England, the United Arab Emirates and in the USA. I started my own immigration practice when I got tired of working in the corporate world, and was my first client!

Because I care about them and am not money-driven.

Yes, online and remote services work very well in my field of work. If any client needs to meet me in person, arrangements can be made.

I meet outdoors when I have to meet in person, and I am masked and ask my client to be masked too. I personally have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 including having received both bootsters.
