I had an excellent experience working with Amha and his team—Hiwot and Meseret. They are all outstanding professionals. Amha, in particular, is incredibly humble, kind, and compassionate. His guidance was invaluable during my asylum application process, and I truly believe it made a critical difference in the outcome. I highly recommend Amha and his team to anyone dealing with immigration matters. Please note that he can be quite busy, so I suggest being proactive and organized when communicating with his office.
