Imagine opening a mail from the IRS stating that you owe several thousand dollars in taxes because you did not properly report your cryptocurrency. My partner and my heart's jumped into a panic! We knew Prerna also does tax law in addition to being an excellent immigration attorney, so we reached out to them. Prerna got back to us ASAP, and helped us file an amended tax return while running up against a tight deadline from the IRS. Prerna so skillfully and patiently walked me through how to properly document my cryptocurrency, with the appropriate cost bases! About a month after filing our amended return through Prerna, we actually got a nice return on our taxes instead of owing the nightmarish several thousand dollars to the IRS. Prerna also gave us tips of what to do better for our next years tax return so we do not make the same mistakes again. I highly recommend Prerna for taxes and immigration. Their knowledge, service, attention to detail and care is unmatched!

Prerna is hands down one of the best immigration attorneys out there!! We are so glad we chose Prerna to helps us with my immigration case. She is very professional, kind, she’s quick to respond, she knows the laws, and she’s very straightforward so everything is easy to understand. We loved working with her and we 100% recommend her firm!!!

I live in the Chicago area, and the little time she's been helping me. It has been the most help I've had in years. She gives me hope! Thank you!

We are incredibly grateful and honored to have had Prerna as our immigration attorney. They're incredibly knowledgeable, generous and kind. They went above and beyond on filing our paperwork, responding to requests from USCIS, answering our questions, and more during our entire multi-year AOS process. You should definitely hire Prerna as your attorney. And make sure to do as they say — you're in good hands.

Prerna helped my wife and me with adjustment of status and a marriage-based green card application. We just received my wife's green card! Prerna was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, affordable, and effective. We would highly recommend her services.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Prerna went on to discover that I had been a victim of a violent crime, contacted and convinced a district attorney and sheriffs office to verify that I helped them bring my attacker to justice and applied for me with USCIS so I could be granted a deferred action and a victim visa. Prerna was pragmatic but very optimist and always exuding great energy when interacting with my wife and I. 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲: Prerna did all of the above and she did it in record soeed. It all came together within 120 days, despite all the bureaucracy and red tape. was able to obtain an employment authorization, go back to work and take care of my family. Most importantly, my family could finally have the peace-of-mind that they would be taken care of financially by me as the breadwinner who now had the ability to work, free of fear and uncertainty. And even better, my dream of going to school could now become a reality [after 30 years.] How did Prerna do it? Prerna de-constructed my 30-year-old case and her strategy was unique compared to what other lawyers did. Prerna rebuilt the case from scratch, got responses from USCIS very fast and knew exactly what to file, when to file and set expectations properly.

I've hired other lawyers before and I knew how they work. Most of them(I say more than 95%) only cares about their own pocket than about your case. Terance is very different. I researched him extensively before hired him as my lawyer in my case. He is: 1) Very Diligent -- he will get on filing motions/papers the moment he receives paperwork from the opposing consel. He doesn't give excuses for delay to try to drag your case longer 2) reasonable fees -- His fee structure is very fair and very clear to me and there are no hidden charges or charges that came as surprises. It's a life saver for me since I was really drained financially already by this legal case. His fees allows me to continue the case and not having to worry about bleeding my bank account 3) very reliable -- you can reach him on a short notice. YOu dont get some admin answer your phone and get answers in 3 business days. You get answers right away! 4) honest --- I have to stress this! For legal industry, WE have a lot of crook lawyers around and most of them will say nice things and do the exact opposite. He does what he says and his actions matches his words. 5) Great court records and legal writing skills --- I've looked up many court records of many other lawyers. I have to say I am not impressed with most of them. He writes well and files timely motions. At one point, he is up against 3 lawyers in a big firm in a trial! You have to give him lots of credits to do that! Most lawyers avoid trials like a plague and ran away from it easily since it was too much work for them. Terance does what it takes to win the case. Client Advocate -- I know this shall be the default for lawyers. In reality, this doesn't happen very often. I had a lawyer scammed me and it was commonly done in the legal industry. Lawyers are very interested in more billable hours so they tend to mud the waters to make the case extra long and extra complicated to squeeze the money out of the clients. It's the hard truth I learned the hard way. Terance works differently and his goal is to shield the client from potential abuse by the opposing side and resolve the case in a cost-effective manner. He does sound a bit complicated sometimes to listen since he's highly educated so you have to do your own homework to make sure you understand the legal concept. Being a educated client will make working with him even better.

Words can't express gratitude for Katie's diligence. I sincerely hope she continues with her practice. Thank you, Katie. You are lovely, honest, and fair.

I appreciate the knowledge they supplied to me.

She came highly recommended, was quick to get back to us, and made me feel much more at ease and way more confident which I didn't think was possible given the process we were going through. Super grateful to Prerna and her team, I know she hold a lot of cases and I never felt disregarded. She was very upfront about the process and what to expect, very values aligned and her humor helped so much too! Thank you Prerna!!
