About Our Firm
Yazdanyar Law Offices
In a challenging global climate of dynamic political affairs, sanctions have become a central tool of U.S. foreign policy. Yet, public knowledge of sanctions and their impact on targeted countries, as well as Americans at home, is generally lacking. In fact, the field of sanctions law and the consequences of these economic policies are still an understudied area of expertise despite expanding U.S. reliance on sanctions. As such, there is a significant need for experts with experience and knowledge of this terrain to mediate between U.S. government institutions and the public which is affected by these policies, while keeping abreast of recent developments.
For over 15 years, Yazdanyar Law Offices has helped to fill this very gap, diligently defending the rights of our clients, and assisting them with navigating the often-complex and ever-changing world of U.S. sanctions and immigration laws. Our highly skilled team provides the expertise, sophistication, and professionalism of a large firm with the compassion and personalized attention you can only find at a boutique law firm.
At Yazdanyar Law Offices, we view ourselves as your advocate. We understand the very real impact sanctions and immigration regulations have on your life and the lives of your loved ones. As such, we take the time to understand your specific circumstance in order to find the solution that will best meet your needs in the most timely and cost-effective manner.
