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!

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, and answering our questions during our entire multi-year AOS process. You should definitely hire Prerna as your attorney. As long as you follow their advice and instructions, you will be in great hands!

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!!!

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.

I highly recommend Prerna as an immigration lawyer. Prerna was the only lawyer who believed in the success of my case and who won it in less than a year. I was a victim of human labor trafficking through the Au Pair program and my case was very complicated. Despite all the challenges, I got a T-visa, thanks to Prerna’s hard and dedicated work, and now I’m on my way of getting a green card. Prerna is not only a knowledgeable and passionate professional, but a very supportive and kind person, who makes you feel like your case is at the top of their priority list. Prerna is very responsive and caring, and they became more than a lawyer to me, but a friend. Prerna is the best immigration lawyer I could have had and I’m forever grateful for them for changing my life.

Prerna is the absolute best. We talked with one other lawyer before we met Prerna, and honestly, there is NO comparison. Prerna helped my husband and me file for his green card, which we received this month! She also helped with our taxes. Words cannot express my gratitude for her dedication, commitment, and friendliness. She's an amazing person and lawyer. If you're reading this because you're trying to find a lawyer, LOOK NO FURTHER AND GO WITH PRERNA. You will not find anyone better.

At 37, I found myself deportable based on a mistake I made at 19 as I tried to apply for immigration benefits on my own.

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.

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 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!
