Nareshwar Virdi

Founder and principal attorney of Acquest Law, Inc., in Sacramento, California, Nareshwar Virdi practices immigration law with a focus on removal defense, asylum, BIA appeals, U visas, VAWA petitions, Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) cases, family-based immigration, business immigration and R-1 religious worker visas. Admitted to California in 2013, he was certified by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as a specialist in immigration and nationality law in 2026, a distinction that confirms the depth of his competence.

At the heart of Mr. Virdi's work is the immigration courtroom, where he defends clients facing removal and builds asylum cases for people seeking safety. He does not stop when a case hits a wall. When detention is unlawful or an administrative ruling is wrong, he takes the fight to federal court, filing habeas corpus petitions in U.S. District Courts and litigating petitions for review before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd and 9th Circuits.

Beyond the courtroom, Acquest Law, Inc., serves families and businesses at every stage of their immigration journey. Mr. Virdi guides survivors of crime and abuse through U visa and VAWA self-petitions, helps vulnerable young people secure protection through SIJ status and supports faith communities by petitioning for the religious workers who serve them.

His path to the law was anything but narrow. A graduate of McGeorge School of Law, Mr. Virdi also holds an MBA, a Master of Public Health and a Master of Health Administration. Each degree shapes his practice. His public health and healthcare training help him assemble the medical and psychological evidence that gives weight to a client's story, along with the documentation that corroborates it. His business background lends discipline to running a growing practice in which every deadline matters and a missed date can change a life.

For Mr. Virdi, every file carries a human future, one that depends on meticulous preparation and unwavering advocacy. Those who retain him find a lawyer who pairs exacting legal skill with analytical depth and sincere empathy and who will see a case through to its final resolution.
