Origin
From the Wisconsin Supreme Court to Phoenix Immigration Practice
Roya D. Habich was born in Tennessee to Iranian parents and earned a B.A. in History and Spanish, with honors, from the University of Texas at Austin in 2006, before completing her J.D. at the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2009, per her own firm biography. While in law school she served as Note & Comment Editor and Assistant Symposium Editor for the Wisconsin International Law Journal and interned for Justice Ann Walsh Bradley of the Wisconsin Supreme Court — a judicial-clerkship-adjacent credential not common among solo immigration practitioners in this directory’s coverage so far.
Habich founded her own firm in Phoenix in 2012, citing time spent in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and China as formative to her decision to focus exclusively on immigration law, per the firm’s site. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Persian — a trilingual capability the firm markets directly to its client base.
Práctica
A Boutique, Single-Specialty Practice
Unlike several other firms in this category, Habich Law does not combine immigration with criminal defense or personal injury — it is, per its own site, “a full service immigration law firm” and nothing else. Its stated practice covers family-based immigration petitions, employment-based visas for investors, athletes, and other workers, asylum claims, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) petitions, U visas for crime victims, and naturalization. The firm states it represents clients located anywhere in the United States or abroad, not only those local to Phoenix.
Historial
Volume Reported, Not Itemized
The firm’s own site states Habich has “successfully represented” more than 1,000 clients since founding the firm in 2012. Awesome Attorneys was not able to identify an itemized breakdown of that figure by case type (asylum grants versus family petitions versus employment visas, for example), nor a published win/approval rate. As with immigration practices generally, case outcomes such as visa approvals and asylum grants are typically confidential to the client and are not independently verifiable by a third party the way a public jury verdict is.
La voz del cliente
A Consistent, Multi-Platform Positive Record
Awesome Attorneys reviewed 14 published reviews on Yelp and additional reviews aggregated by TrustAnalytica, where the firm holds a 4.7-star rating. Several reviewers specifically credit Habich with hands-on interview preparation ahead of immigration interviews — one of the more consistent themes across the review set. One client wrote that working with Habich on a green card matter “felt manageable and even reassuring” despite the stress of the process. Another described being referred by a friend who insisted “Roya Habich was the only Immigration Attorney that he would ever use.” Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative reviews for this firm as of the research date, though the total review volume — roughly a few dozen across platforms — is modest next to high-volume multi-practice firms elsewhere in this category.
Comunidad
Not Independently Documented
Awesome Attorneys did not identify specific, publicly documented community involvement, sponsorships, or pro bono programs for this firm as of the research date, beyond Habich’s own stated multicultural background and international experience, which the firm frames as informing her approach to clients rather than as civic involvement per se.
Reconocimientos
Directory Recognition, Not Bar-Certified Specialization
Habich Law has been named a “Top 3 Immigration Lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona” by ThreeBestRated.com every year from 2016 to the present, and the firm states it has received an Avvo Client’s Choice Award, per its own site. Readers should understand the distinction this publication draws elsewhere in its coverage: these are consumer-directory recognitions based on reviews and vetting criteria set by commercial platforms, not peer-reviewed legal credentials like Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, or Martindale-Hubbell’s AV rating, none of which Awesome Attorneys identified for this firm. Arizona does not offer a State Bar Board of Legal Specialization certification in immigration law, so no such certification claim is possible for any Arizona immigration attorney.
Contexto legal de Arizona
A Federal Practice Area, Practiced From Arizona
Immigration law is federal law, administered through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and, for contested matters, the federal immigration courts — not Arizona state courts, and Arizona civil statutes of limitations (such as A.R.S. § 12-542, which governs personal injury) have no application here. What Arizona practice does add is proximity: attorneys based in Phoenix, like Habich, routinely appear before the Phoenix Immigration Court and are positioned to advise Arizona-based employers and families navigating both federal immigration timelines and any Arizona-specific employment verification requirements. This is general information, not legal advice.
Evaluación de Awesome Attorneys
A Credentialed Specialist With a Thin Public Paper Trail Outside Reviews
Habich Law’s clearest strength is focus: a single-specialty immigration practice led by an attorney with an unusually strong academic and clerkship background for a solo boutique, trilingual client service, and a consistently positive, multi-platform review record specifically praising interview preparation — a detail-level service component that matters in immigration cases where a single misstep in an interview can affect an outcome. The honest gaps: no independently verifiable case-outcome data, no peer-reviewed legal recognition (Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, or AV rating), and a review volume that, while positive, is modest. For clients specifically seeking a dedicated immigration specialist rather than a multi-practice firm, and who value Spanish- or Persian-language service, Habich Law is a reasonable firm to interview.
