"Naomi Minwalla is passionately committed to people and to justice. We feel so blessed to have found her. She immediately understood the seriousness of the situation, took charge of the strategic approach, and guided our family through what turned out to be a very complex and often frightening process. Her competence and thoroughness were immediately apparent and we were so appreciative of the time and attention she paid to every detail. Naomi showed sensitivity for our financial constraints and she was always clear in her communication with us about the implications of each decision along the way. Her regular written reports to us clearly accounted for expenditures and documented each step in the process, convincing us of how critically important it was to have expert legal advice when seeking justice through the immigration system in Canada. We all felt Naomi to be a true partner with us through the entire process. We cannot imagine a better advocate than Naomi Minwalla". S.T. and M.A.

No one could have given more time and effort into solving all the immediate problems and then continuing with the necessary work to represent the family at their hearing. You examined all the facts thoroughly (and made sure that we all did our part) and attended to even the smallest detail. You are patient, understanding and have a deep sensitivity towards the emotions and feelings of others. Your knowledge and dedication is truly exceptional. There aren't enough words to express the deep appreciation we feel for all you have done and continue to do - not just for the family but for so many others. The memories of the experience we were privileged to share with you and the family will never be forgotten". I.G. and L.H.

"Naomi brought me hope and confidence. Right from my first meeting with her, I was impressed. Her friendliness, calm nature and strong perspectives made me feel reassured as we discussed my complex case. She was very professional, yet empathetic. She had determination that there was hope in my case. She takes her work seriously, yet establishes a building relationship. Naomi went to great lengths to do whatever she could possibly do to help. She also went out of her way to support another family member. She is very generous and compassionate. She really understood what I was going through and did not turn away as she realized how complex my case was. I truly believe that Naomi will always be there to help me as well as others.

She makes the lawyer-client relationship both personal and approachable. She finds ways to make an impact a resounding difference. No part of her job is achieved through illusion. She works relentlessly and tirelessly on research and presentation. She leaves no stone unturned. She is a perfectionist and takes on my challenges as her own. She knows how to ask the right questions; she already knows the right answers. There is no other who is willing to work with such determination. Naomi has taken the time to know me. She has spent countless hours attending to my family. She is patient and understanding and attentively answers every question. She explains explicitly every part of the legal process and possible outcomes. She always gives truthful answers. Although she is always positive, she never feeds us false hope. Her forthright, honest manner creates a calmness that a person in hunger needs. I forget that she has all the titles behind her name because she treats me with dignity and genuine concern. In working with Naomi, I have gained more than just hope for the future of my family. I have personally benefited from her good nature. I have put the welfare of my children in her hands and I am fully confident to recommend her to anyone". R.O.

Elle mérite beaucoup et j'en profite pour dire Merci du fond du cœur Madame Naomi Minwalla, à cause de vous ma vie à recommencer à nouveau". N.K.
"We wish to introduce our dear lawyer, Naomi Minwalla, as one of the best lawyers in Vancouver. Naomi is a very compassionate, experienced and honest lawyer who is especially sensitive to the suffering of women. We went to Naomi in a state of panic and desperation after our previous counsel failed to notify us of a negative Federal Court decision, which left us very little time to consider and prepare other options to remain in Canada. In a short period of time, Naomi was able to turn our situation of desperation into one of hope. Our lives were saved because of Naomi's creativity and hard work". M.I.H.
"When I had an immigration status problem in Canada I felt hopeless and frightened especially since this was going to separate me from my minor child. My support workers told me that Naomi is the toughest immigration and refugee lawyer in Vancouver. She had helped a previous resident in my building and won the tough case. I was lucky that Naomi was willing to take on my complicating case and help me almost voluntarily. Naomi worked so hard for me during this difficult time. She is extremely organized, diligent, professional and caring. She took my case home and worked on it even during the evenings and weekends. Because of Naomi's hard work my case was successful and I am allowed to stay in Canada. I really appreciate what Naomi did for me and I also love her friendly support staff. I don't have to worry anymore about being separated from my child and I can begin my new life in Canada. I highly recommend Naomi to anyone who needs a good immigration or refugee lawyer". S.L.
"Our group of church refugee supporters is very grateful to Naomi and her assistant for their friendly and professional assistance. Naomi is exceptionally attentive to detail and is compassionate beyond the call of duty in her work for us. She and her staff gave us genuine caring personal support in a very difficult circumstance so that we were able to work effectively as a team, each giving our best efforts. It is in this respect and consideration of the client that enables client participation and effective partnership which leads to the best chance of success. I would highly recommend Naomi to anyone with a refugee or immigrant problem". C.V.

We are grateful every day that our paths crossed with Naomi". A.M.Q. and A.S.

I know that she will continue to be successful and happy in her life because so many people like me always pray for her. I thank her strongly because I know, I feel and I see how hard she works for me and other clients. I would also like to say congratulations to her husband for having a wonderful wife like her.

Naomi was able to reverse the rejection early in the process, saving me tremendous amounts of time, energy and money. It has been a blessing to know and work with Naomi". P.N.

If there were weaknesses, she would tell me immediately so that we could work on those. She made me work closely with her at every step of the way and she kept me informed of everything. Naomi took the time to explain options, procedures, strategies and possible outcomes. She never did anything without asking my permission. My immigration case was a long and complicating one, but I always felt strong and confident with Naomi. I won in the end because Naomi gave so much of herself to me. I highly recommend Naomi to anyone". V.S.
"We required the services of an immigration lawyer in Vancouver, and Naomi was highly recommended to us by another immigration lawyer in Toronto. We had a potentially complicated application, and we were extremely impressed at Naomi's approach to our particular requirements. Her attention to detail, patience and professionalism were qualities that stood out. Naomi worked with us, rather than for us, and this level of cooperation ensured that we fully understood her strategic approach and that all bases were covered. The immigration process can be lengthy, frustrating and costly, but Naomi has a special knack for reducing the process into a logical, understandable one. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Naomi to anyone seeking immigration services in Canada". S.R. and S.K.

"By partnering with Naomi, I have been able to smile again from my heart after five years of seeking protection and finally receiving a positive Pre-Removal Risk Assessment decision. Naomi is one of those rare lawyers who puts in a lot of energy to your case. She is strong spirited and determined, no matter how messed up or complicated your case. She is patient and willing to listen. I had an exclusion order and a negative Federal Court decision, but God directed me to Naomi. She fought so hard working beyond normal work hours just to help. She is compassionate, straightforward and, above all, a master in her field. Naomi never gives up and my experience with her confirms to me that I partnered with a truly committed lawyer in the field of immigration and refugee law. She is tirelessly loyal to her clients and I recommend her to all. Merci, Naomi!" M.A.
"Naomi Minwalla devoted many hours of her time helping me. Her work was beyond my expectations. A big change came to my life because of Naomi's hard work. I went to Naomi only a few weeks before my refugee court date. Despite the stress and time constraints, Naomi worked patiently and confidently with me on weekends and late in the evening until we were fully prepared for my hearing. Sometimes I was scared about testifying in court, but she prepared me well and made me feel confident. I am amazed that Naomi was able to accomplish so much on my case in such a short period of time. We won my refugee hearing and Naomi then helped me to bring my entire family to Canada. Now I live safely with my children and wife in Canada. Once you hire Naomi, she is 100% committed to you". A.C.
"Naomi Minwalla is a true humanitarian who acts with honour, dignity and integrity in all that she does. Naomi's one-to-one conduct of interviews, research and advice is first class. She has extraordinary zeal and respect for her clients, no matter what their cultural background. Naomi built my confidence in her abilities by her support, assurance, assertiveness, resourcefulness and frankness with me when handling my case. I also derived a positive attitude from her after she re-boosted my own down-trodden feelings and, surely, we worked together and achieved positive results in court. Naomi offers fees that are not only competitive, but also achievable for the client. By any standard, Naomi's service is first class. Without any hesitation, I recommend Naomi Minwalla to anybody". M.M.
"We found Naomi Minwalla to be not only professional, for example her knowledge and grasp of the law, but also personal, for example her compassionate treatment of us. It is evident that both Ms. Minwalla's legal savvy and her past experiences living and working in Africa influenced her conduct of our case. Painstaking research into our case to thoroughly understand our culture and our plight, coupled with the care that she gave to keep us informed of all of the circumstances of our case led us to feel that we were being represented with competency and humanity. We were successful with our case and we both recommend Naomi Minwalla to anyone needing legal representation for immigration or refugee matters in Canada". G.O. and M.O.

"I have often told Naomi Minwalla that she is the best lawyer a client can ever have. Naomi is like your best friend. During my immigration case, she continuously gave me hope and encouragement at times when I felt depressed and anxious. Naomi is extremely organized and strategically smart. Naomi was firm with me when she needed to be in order for our case to be successful, and I really appreciated and needed her firmness because I would have otherwise been too weak to make it through the extremely demanding and frightening immigration process without her persistence. Naomi is also a very sensitive and caring human being who puts client's interests first. She went out of her way for me on many occasions. I had a very difficult and complex immigration case which many people thought was over until Naomi took it on, turned it around, and we won. I am sure that God is using Naomi on earth for all of us". H.U.O.
"We remember sitting in Naomi's office for the first time looking at photos she had taken of the time she worked in refugee camps in Africa and on the border of Afghanistan before she became a lawyer. Naomi's numerous degrees also stood out as a reflection of her exceptional educational background. Together, these images and symbols told us of her passion for humanity and skill for justice not in abstract terms, but on her hands and knees in spaces of suffering and challenge. For two years now, we feel her painstaking patience and her need for excellence in every step we have taken with her in our arduous journey to be transnational people who want to live a life together. Her clarity and firmness in understanding our legal issues are balanced gracefully by her tender heart and warm spirit. She has been as committed - sometimes more so! - as we have been. She has been cautious, thorough and unafraid of complexity - and complex this has been! - to be successful in this immigration endeavour. We are so lucky she has been in our lives, and our respect, gratitude, and affection for her abound". M.C. and M.D.B.
"I thank Naomi Minwalla deeply from the bottom of my heart for all of the help, support, effort, guidance and care that she gave to me for my refugee case. When I first arrived in Canada, I was extremely afraid to return to my country where my life was threatened. Naomi gave me comfort and guided me on the path of hope to find protection in Canada. Because of Naomi, I am safe and alive, and I can live permanently with a peace of mind and tranquility in Canada". K.N.
"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Naomi Minwalla to anybody who requires expert and effective legal advice on all immigration and refugee matters. Naomi was able to turn around my very negative situation into a positive one. I have found that Naomi is always available to give thorough and knowledgeable advice. I met Naomi after another lawyer refused to be my counsel. I was worried and helpless since I had to file my case the following month. Thankfully, not only did Naomi take my difficult case, she comforted and encouraged me, and also arranged special time on her weekends to work on my case in order to meet my deadline. Naomi's very careful and complete step by step advice, guidance and preparation is what helped me to achieve Convention Refugee status in Canada. Naomi is really the right lawyer when you need to deal with all immigration matters. Thank you very much Naomi. I really appreciate everything that you have done for me". R.O.
"Naomi Minwalla helped me win my refugee case. She did this by working very closely with me at every step of the case. Naomi always kept me up-to-date, answered my phone calls and she took the time to advise me in simple language that I could understand. Naomi is understanding, caring, friendly and a wonderful person to work with. She has great skills, but is humble, unintimidating and very cheerful. Naomi has a lot of knowledge and experience working with refugees. I am extremely grateful that Naomi was my lawyer". K.T.
"My special thanks to the gracious God who has the perfect answer to every question. He made available to me Naomi who handled my immigration case after it had failed. This was my last chance to stay in Canada. As we progressed, I realized how concerned and passionate she feels for her clients. Based on that, I saw Naomi as my sister. No matter what, Naomi respects her clients and their beliefs, she is very loving and her staff is the same. I will always be more than happy to recommend Naomi to anyone who needs the service of an amazing lawyer. Naomi, keep it up and may God continue to increase His love and grace upon you". K.N.

Naomi is resolute in getting things done, and considerate of her clients' plights and constraints. She is unassuming, never promised me heaven and earth, but her professionalism is superb.

Yes, I believe and testify that she is second to none!" O.A.

A million thanks to my lawyer Naomi Minwalla. May God bless her today, tomorrow and always". J.V.M.C.
"We highly recommend Naomi Minwalla on all immigration and refugee cases. Without her help we and our two kids couldn't stay here in Canada. She worked very hard (day, night and weekend) to do our papers and did everything for us to win our case. She is really smart and professional to understand clients to express their situation and difficulties. Her amazing intelligence, hard work, positive advice and kindness are all greatly appreciated. She is really one in a million and light in the darkness. With all your effort God always bless and give all the best for you. We are very proud and lucky to have you as our lawyer. Thank you also to your thoughtful assistants". K./A. G.
