I have been working with Chugh Law Firm since 2017 and that is when I met Deepika. She helped me file for my H1B. During this process I did get a RFE and with her guidance I was able to resolve it. However, the main reason I am writing this review is that when I had filled for my GC and traveled to India and I got stuck in India regarding a complex court issue. With her guidance and support I was able to come back to USA and fill for my GC which got approved without a single RFE or interview. Deepika guided

I am extremely thankful to the entire team of Chugh, LLP (Mojgan and her team). They have been part of my journey since 2016 when I moved to US on L1.

I have been working with Chugh law firm for few years now for my H1b petitions. Once they helped me resolve an "intent to deny" RFE which is the worst case in RFE. We sent around 2 to 2.5 lbs of paper work during that time and I worked with Deepika Singh personally on that case. These guys are pretty competent and professional for immigration needs. I highly recommend them. Thanks.

I had retained Chugh LLP for filing GC for self & my family. Given the visa category, it took a long time to get my GC. Along the process, there were RFE (for medical record updates), I moved my job ( had to file for AC 21). Navdeep & team from Chugh did a great job in helping me through the process. Chugh's team was very professional & always prompt in responding. I would recommend their company & services to anyone considering their services. Thanks, Navdeep & team, keep up the excellent work!

This law firm was handling my Green Card process and I wouldn't be more happier than how they handled my case. The staff is very knowledgeable and responsive. They walked me through each and every process and reviewed each and every document before it's submitted to USICS. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in this and help me get my GC.

Finding CHUGH was more than finding a gold mine. We engaged CHUGH for individual visa, company setup and immigration. From their executives to every member including the one who takes the calls at the front desk (always) they are superwomen (Sonia, Gladya, Neha) and men (Juan, Hemant...) with deep empathy. When they say they understand, they do and go beyond the call of duty to help. How often do you come across law/CPA firm that delights in seeing you joyful and happy...genuinely?

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
