Immigration Law
Immigration law is complex and ever changing. Traditional methods and practices have proven
increasingly ineffective when dealing with governmental bureaucracies, and challenging and perplexing laws.
Success in immigration law, more and more often, requires a fresh, innovative, assertive and tactical
approach. The Law Firm of NeJame, LaFay, Jancha, Ahmed, Barker & Joshi, P.A. is dedicated
to providing clients our very best legal representation and protection.
Our Law Firm is AV rated, the highest rating awarded by Martindale-Hubbell, the nation’s
leading lawyer directory. We are also acknowledged in the Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers, which recognizes
but a select few of America’s leading lawyers. We are honored not only to be recognized for our legal skills,
but also for our ethics, something for which we are most proud.
Immigration Division
Mark NeJame, our founder and Senior Partner, sought to create
a unique law firm that was responsive and proactive to the needs of the various immigrant communities.
He had a vision to assemble a premier Immigration Division with the resources, knowledge, integrity
and skills to provide individuals, families and businesses the best immigration representation and protection
available.
Shahzad Ahmed, Esq. is a Partner with the Firm and the Senior
Attorney and the Senior Litigator for the Firm’s Immigration Division. Mr. Ahmed has approximately a decade of experience
in handling virtually every type of immigration case. Immigration is a complex and dynamic area of the law requiring an
attorney to be aware of the latest developments. That is why Mr. Ahmed has dedicated his career exclusively to the
practice of Immigration Law. He is member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
Given his focus on Immigration Law, Mr. Ahmed handles a wide variety of Immigration cases. The cases he handles include
family reunification, deportation, investor visas, asylum, naturalization and citizenship matters. He has litigated
hundreds of cases and appeared before dozens of Immigration Judges where he has successfully represented multiple
individuals in a wide variety of matters, from Removal proceedings to claims for Political Asylum and Adjustment
of Status. He even represents clients at U.S. Consulates and Embassies abroad. He has handled thousands of cases
on behalf of both individuals and businesses regarding their immigration needs. His works have been noted and
cited in press releases by human rights and civil liberties organizations, including Amnesty International and
Solidarity U.S.A.
Even as a law student, Mr. Ahmed concentrated in International and Immigration Law and while there developed a great
desire and passion to assist others regarding their immigration issues. He served as an Assistant Editor for various
journals and publications, including the International Law Journal. To further his experience and knowledge of
Immigration and International Law, Mr. Ahmed also participated in and completed a comprehensive Law Studies program
in Shimla, India.
The Immigration team includes extremely experienced individuals, such as
Mayra Uribe, who for seven years was honored to
serve United States Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, as an Immigration Specialist.
In that role, Ms. Uribe regularly communicated with embassies throughout the world, routinely
dealt with her numerous contacts in governmental agencies and often was an immigration
trouble-shooter, addressing the seemingly endless array of questions, problems, frustrations and
difficulties found by those mired in immigration related areas. The national and international
connections Mrs. Uribe has developed provides extraordinary benefit to the Firm and its clients.
