I am writing this review on behalf of my mother & stepfather, who Prerna represented last year:

We are very grateful to Prerna for winning our case and very satisfied with her work and service. She was very clear in her communication, promptly sent us a copy of our application for our records, and when she called us I did not get nervous or expect bad news. It felt like I was getting a call from a friend. She was very professional and kind and much better than other lawyers I have interacted with who talk down to clients who don't know the law like them. She was nothing but kind.

We can't believe we won our case so easily and so quickly with her help. She went above and beyond for us, coming all the way to Fresno from the Bay Area to be there with us through our USCIS interview. We did not expect that at first. She is the best attorney we could have had and we will be forever grateful to her for changing our lives and keeping our family together. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a strong immigration lawyer.

Prerna is an awesome lawyer, she helped me a lot back when I was a student at Berkeley. She’s always willing to answer my immigration related questions no matter how stupid they may seem. Thank you for everything you do Prerna!

Prerna made me feel so secure during the whole process of renewing my DACA and applying for advance parole. She answered all my questions and was always friendly.

I have full trust in Prerna Lal. She is the best lawyer I have ever encountered. I was able to get my green card because of her, and also help the rest of my family. I have been helped by other lawyers before meeting Prerna, but she was the only one who I found to be quite understanding, empathetic, friendly, thoughtful, and who went out of her way to help us out. My family is from Southern California and even though they weren’t living in Berkeley, Prerna was willing to help them out as well. Previous experiences my family has had, was being taken advantage of by previous lawyers, who only took our money and made our paperwork much more complicated than it had to be; but Prerna was the one who was able to help us out, even though my parents didn’t speak English. It was very comfortable for us to work with Prerna as she is very empathetic and extremely friendly. She is more than a lawyer to me and my family, she is a friend, and someone who we will continue to trust in fully and support always. I put my full trust in Prerna as she has shown that she is devoted to helping people who are affected as a result of their immigration status and she understands that people are not only affected by this in a legal way, but also emotionally and mentally. I am glad Lal Legal exists!

Prerna is one of the top immigrant rights lawyers and activists in the country. She passionately, creatively and zealously fights for her clients. Prerna has a brilliant mind and fierce determination to ensure justice for all. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the highest quality of compassionate legal assistance.

Prerna I can honestly say was the reason my mom's green card petition went so smoothly! She empathized and was on top of the case, she even made herself available and even went out of her way to make sure my mom felt safe and taken care of. Her work speaks for itself, and she will remain HIGHLY recommended by me!

Thank you isn't enough Prerna, you have gone up and above to help me study abroad and help my mother in her process!

I became a client of Prerna when she was still working at East Bay Community Law Clinic. I got screwed over by my past employer and was a victim of H1B visa fraud. As the result, I spiraled from a non-immigrant visa to undocumented in a blink of an eye. I went to so many clinics and asked so many lawyers, but no one seemed to be able to help. Luckily, I happened to meet Prerna for consultation by chance. She was very patience and emphatic to my situation. She went above and beyond and agree to help me to get justice. She laid out my options that I might qualify for and explained in detail the pros and cons. Not only did she always make time for me when I needed, she was also willing to answer any question I had. My visa was approved and I got back into legal status thanks to her. I am now on a pathway to citizenship! Her knowledge of immigration law is significantly superb compared to others. And she cares deeply for her clients who are the minority and may not always have the resources. She helps us navigate a complicated system and helped us achieve a better future in the legal way. I would recommend anyone to seek her legal service. She reached out and solved my problems when no one else could. I am forever graceful and in her debt.

Prerna goes above and beyond their work, and is extremely caring and personable to their clients. I had to apply for a DACA renewal at the same time of a big family loss, and Prerna worked with me throughout the process remotely. They were extremely flexible and basically took care of the whole thing for me. Anyone would be lucky to have them as their attorney because they will fight and take care of you harder and more than anyone else I know.

Prerna came highly recommended from contacts in Washington, DC who knew who are the best in immigration law. Prerna cut to the chase for what would be the most beneficial way forward for the case. This is after going through other immigration lawyers who left me more confused after I consulted with them and I were trying to charge me several thousand dollars. Not with Prerna. They not only looked for the best solution, but the most time and cost efficient one. I highly recommend them.

Prerna Lal is an individual that is dedicated to helping the immigrant community, as well as others, acquire the justice they deserve as being part of this country. She helped me file my initial DACA when it seemed almost impossible to get it approved. She very thoroughly explained what the processes looked like and ensured that I understood all the steps I would have to take to submit my application. She presented me with any updates on my case regularly whether it be in person or via email, providing me with a sense of where I stood in the process and was not just left in the dark. And now I am happy to say that I was approved for DACA during these difficult times thanks to Lal's work. I could not recommend her enough. She is dedicated, focused, accommodating and overall an amazing attorney. Her group will not stop until your case, whatever it may be, is dealt with.

Prerna has helped me with various important matters over the past two years. They are committed to their work and to their clients, and fights tirelessly for a just result for their clients. Because of this, I consider them to be a trustworthy person and attorney, and I don't see myself having anyone else be my attorney. They have my highest recommendation.

Prerna Lal made my experience to attain DACA very quick and easy. Amidst hiccups that we encountered Prerna was quick on her feet ensured that we responded to USCIS as quickly as possible. I didn’t feel like Prerna took my “case” as just a “case”. I highly recommend Prerna Lal to everyone who needs a dedicated immigration attorney.

I have been working with Prerna for almost 5 years. The process hasn't been so easy but they have answered every question or doubt that I've had. I tend to ask a lot of questions and I always get an answer fast. Super approachable, I can reach Prerna though email or phone.

They've helped me with various renewals and it's always such a pleasure. Prerna has been super supportive and kind. The process has become way easier thanks to all their knowledge and patience. They've always looked out for me, which is always comforting because that's how you they actually care.

Really recommend working with Lal Legal! Thank you Prerna!

Prerna has helped me since my UC Berkeley days with DACA renewals and just this past year with my permanent residency. She went above and beyond for my partner and I (we had a bit of a tricky case) and we were approved! Thank you Prerna for all you do!

I was looking for a immigration attorney to file for my moms green card. I spoke to her once and decided immediately that she would be our immigration attorney. She is very easily approachable also ready to answer questions. Very prompt in responding to any questions. We really enjoyed working with her and she is a very kind, friendly and charming person to work with.
Thank you for helping my mom get her green card.

Prerna is an angel.
Prerna helped somebody who is very close to me find a path to naturalization in a situation that was very bleak (let's call the person "Tom" for confidentiality purposes). Prerna came up with a solution to this immigration predicament that Tom did not even know was available to him - Prerna knew of a visa he was entitled to because she truly listened to his story and picked up on a nuance. Prerna is smart, experienced and dedicated, but what sets her apart is her dedication to her clients. The emails she would write Tom were so uplifting, supportive and warm - it truly made Tom feel cared about and looked after, which was a feeling he was entirely unfamiliar with. Prerna encouraged Tom in his educational endeavors, she was a mentor to him in every sense.

Tom is now a proud permanent resident and after the waiting period following receipt of the Green Card elapses, he will be able to apply for citizenship in the only Country he has ever called home.

Tom actually reached out to Prerna for advice with respect to another legal issue, which was not even immigration-related. Prerna gave him referrals and connected him with multiple people who she asked to help him. Lawyers bill for their time by the hour, but Prerna never missed a call from Tom who was not even an active client of hers at that point and spent so much time trying to help him. But none of this was any surprise, because I had seen clips on the news of Prerna waiting at the airport for her client, Luis Mora, who had been detained by ICE in San Deigo in 2018 (Google it). She has a heart of Gold.

I am a natural-born citizen, but I have had the pleasure of knowing many immigrants who have unfortunately struggled with the immigration process. I also studied Immigration Law in school. I KNOW how hard this process is and I cannot recommend Prerna highly enough.

When Tom talks about Prerna, he gets misty-eyed, and so do I.
