She is considered an expert in Immigration Law and represents individuals, families, corporations and investors from the United States and internationally. She provides support for their family and business needs, as well as assists buyers and sellers with their residential closings and title work.
Attorney Bhavsar is 1 of only 78 lawyers to be Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Florida Bar. While Attorney Bhavsar became Board Certified in 2004, currently only 6% of Florida lawyers have board certification in one or more of the 24 areas of certification. The percentage of Florida lawyers practicing Immigration Law is even lower. As a Board Certified lawyer, Attorney Bhavsar has been recognized by the Bar and her peers as an Expert. She must maintain the highest level of knowledge, and professional and ethical standards, in the practice of Immigration and Nationality Law.
Attorney Bhavsar was also selected for inclusion on the Florida Super Lawyers lists for 2008, and again in the 2009 list. Only 5 percent of Florida lawyers have been recognized in this list. She was selected through an extensive process of peer nominations, a blue ribbon panel review, and independent research of law and politics. The list appeared in Florida Super Lawyers Magazine.
