I just have to say, what a great experience Ive had a Kahane. Their level professionalism is off the charts, while still maintaining that humanity that we all need, especially in stressful situations like litigation. Imasha Thia was absolutely wonderful and there for me every step of the way, with prompt responses and solid legal advice. And Chad Newcomb was always there taking care of things in the background. Thank you both so much for everything you did! I would 110% recommend Kahane.

Their ultimate value was demonstrated during the worst period of the Covid lockdowns, which is when IRCC shifted to online citizenship testing. Without the help and persistence of Melvin Marin, I am positive my case would still be stuck "in the system" instead of being the
