Uniting Families Across Borders

We’ve Walked the Same Path.

I am an immigrant like you.

Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, HBM Law Offices represents clients nationwide and across the world. I am not just an immigration lawyer, I am an immigrant first.

My journey to the United States will resonate with many of you who have traveled the same path or will soon be taking the first steps. In 2002, I first appeared before a consular officer for a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy of Bangkok. Few years later, a law firm filed for my adjustment of status. I was issued an Employment Authorization Document and Advance Parole and then interviewed at the Chicago, IL immigration USCIS field office after which I was granted permanent residency.

In 2010, I took the oath to become a U.S. citizen, graduated from law school, earned my law license from the IL Supreme Court, and committed to becoming an immigration attorney to be of service to fellow immigrants. In 2012, HBM Law Offices, LLC was born.

My real-life experience makes me acutely aware of the hurdles, challenges, and unknowns of the immigration process. Having successfully represented hundreds of cases before the United States Customs and Immigration Services and the U.S. Department of State, you can trust in the quality of our representation: we have over a decade experience, are client-centric in our values, engage in tech solutions to keep fees reasonable and transparent, and feel proud to have maintained relationships with our clients extending beyond the conclusion of their case.

We look forward to hearing from you and being your trusted legal counsel through your immigration case and beyond.

Whether you’re looking to bring your loved ones to the U.S., obtain and maintain green cards, or request forgiveness for an immigration violation (waivers), we would love to help you.

Our Story

Himani helped us from beginning to the end to bring my new wife and her two daughters to the U.S. From the moment I contacted her, I knew she was the real deal! She is sincere, honest, and very detail oriented. I can not say enough good about her and her firm. It makes me sad that we have accomplished our goal because I won’t be in constant contact with her, but I know she will be making other current and future clients just as happy as she made us. We will be forever thankful! She is part of our story for generations to come.

Amazing Immigration Lawyer

I had two Complicated cases with criminal History( Domestic Violence and Hit & Skip ). One of my uncle referred me to hired Himani Bhardwaj. I consulted her after my first consultation she went over my case and she decided to take up my case. She really worked hard on my case. Humani and Chey always went above and beyond to help me gather all my Necessary documents. She always paid attention to my concern and always went extra miles. Very responsive and always ready to answer all my questions. She even helped me to prepared interview. Finally because of her and team I’m American Citizen. I highly recommend Himani Bhardwaj for anyone looking for an excellent very professional Immigration Attorney that will grant a positive result. Thank you Himani and Chey for making my future bright and a good citizen of America.

DACA to Permanent Resident

I knew that Himani would be a great attorney for me because three years prior, she had helped my brother go from DACA status to permanent residency status. I was not wrong in the fact that she was the best attorney I could have hired. She was with my husband and I every step of the way. Communication with her was excellent and I would not have been able to go through my immigration process without her. I loved that she was excellent and speedy at responding any questions. I also loved that she kept me up to date on any changes with my case. I was undocumented for 18 years, and now I am finally beginning my American Dream as a permanent resident of the United States. I will definitely hire her again once it comes to renew my permanent residency and applying for citizenship. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

Himani is the best

Himani helped me with a case that was so hard,complicated and with so little documents and proofs. After two years of fighting and looking for the right way to follow I finally got appointment for interview with government officials! Two months before appointment Himani worked with me every week and when I was at that point where I wanted to give up she pushed me to work harder for my future and helped me to look for new documents,new proofs that could help for interview . Let me just tell this ,Himani is THE BEST ! She worked on so complicated case ,worked so hard and it was worth it! Recently I got my green card on 10 years ! I am so grateful for Himani ! The best lawyer you can have for immigration!!! Thank you Himani !

If you have any worse situation, no need to search over the web(i did that and lost money), just make an appointment with Himani then relax.

I made an appointment with Himani, as she considered my situation as priority and provided me the appointment immediate next day of the day i reached her. With my experience with her, She is more than 5 star rated attorney. Unlike others (I contacted two immigration attorney’s) before Himani for the same issue, and not at all satisfied with the answers and explanation from them. I really impressed the way she is analyzing the situation before providing any advice. she will explain every thing clearly and very politely with lot of patience. she is very approachable and her knowledge on immigration law is excellent (no words to explain).
If you have any worse situation, no need to search over the web(i did that and lost money), just make an appointment with Himani then relax.

Other lawyers told me to look elsewhere as they were afraid to handle my case and wished me "good luck"

Himani has been FANTASTIC solving my immigration case. I spoke with other lawyers before I was able to find Himani but none of them made me feel more welcomed and more hopeful than Himani. Other lawyers told me to look elsewhere as they were afraid to handle my case and wished me “good luck”. Himani, on the other side, took time to hear more about me and helped me get my green card! She is very knowledgeable and very helpful. I will definitely recommend hiring Himani as a lawyer. She also has a wonderful Paralegal who answers all your question even if you send them late at night. I always got a response in less than 2 hours. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. They are wonderful people to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Himani!!

We re-hired them to guide us with my Expedited Naturalization under 319(b) of the INA

After successfully using HBM Law Offices for adjusting my status, we re-hired them to guide us with my Expedited Naturalization under 319(b) of the INA. This is not a common case, but Himani and her team went above and beyond to ensure that we would have a positive result in a timely manner. Trustworthy and extremely responsive, highly recommended.

Outstanding Services

Services provided by Himani, Chey and HBM Law Services Offices were outstanding with competent professional skills. Their efforts brought me and my wife from Vietnam to the US on the IR-5 immigration visas, despite at times with various restrictions caused by COVID-19 epidemic. They also helped us get Police Clearances from Thailand where we have spent a few decades in Bangkok. Although we were unable to travel in 2021 to contact the Thai police offices for the purpose, due to surge of Covid-19 , Himani and Chey have assisted us in obtaining these required certificates. We strongly recommend HBM Law Services Offices to those who need a smooth and successful immigration process to the US.

It was a long and difficult process but they made it smooth and we had no issues.

My husband and I worked with HBM Law Office for my husband’s immigration services from India. They were wonderful with keeping us posted and helping us through everything. Any time we had a question they were quick to respond and helped us through it. There are so many things that could have gone wrong if we had not had HBM Law Office was working for us. During this COVID-19 issue and all the loops and things we had to go through. HBM Law Office was there for us all the way and I would recommend them for anyone looking to help their loved ones through the immigration process. It was a long and difficult process but they made it smooth and we had no issues. You definitely need help getting through the immigration process and I know if you choose HBM Law Offices, they will do everything they can to help you succeed.
