Shafi Chowdhury, Esq.
An award-winning immigration and personal injury attorney dedicated to strategic, results-driven advocacy from his office in Forest Hills, Queens.
A practice built on careful preparation and relentless advocacy.
Shafi Chowdhury founded the Law Office of Shafi Chowdhury, PLLC with a simple belief: every client deserves an attorney who listens carefully, prepares meticulously, and fights relentlessly. That belief has earned him recognition as a Top 10 Immigration Attorney in New York by the American Institute of Legal Counsel for three consecutive years — 2020, 2019, and 2018 — as well as the 2019 Client's Choice Award from Avvo.com.
Mr. Chowdhury has won some of the most difficult immigration cases for his clients — including asylum grants, green card approvals, business and investment visas, U.S. citizenship, motions to reopen long-closed cases, and hardship waivers. His personal injury practice secures maximum compensation for victims of car accidents, slip and falls, and other serious injuries, always on a contingency fee basis.
While these honors are meaningful, the firm's number one priority remains client satisfaction. Mr. Chowdhury works hard every day to make sure each and every case has a successful outcome. From asylum and deportation defense to car accidents and slip and falls, the practice is built on honest counsel, thorough preparation, and unwavering advocacy.
The firm handles immigration matters in all 50 states and internationally. For clients outside the New York City area, consultations and client meetings are available by videoconference and teleconference.

How we operate.
Three principles guide every case we take.
Direct Attorney Access
You will not be passed off to a junior associate for critical case matters. Shafi Chowdhury is your direct point of contact — from the first consultation through resolution.
Careful Preparation
We do not submit one-size-fits-all paperwork. Every petition, filing, and demand letter is drafted to reflect your specific situation, backed by real evidence.
Full Transparency
We outline the timeline, the risks, and the exact fee structure before you sign anything. No hidden fees, no vague billing. Personal injury cases are contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
