Noaman Azhar
Noaman’s legal practice is primarily devoted to immigration and nationality law where he focuses a significant portion of his time handling complex employment and family immigration matters. He was selected as a Texas Rising Star by Texas Super Lawyers Magazine in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 – a designation awarded to only the top 2.5% of attorneys in a given practice area under the age of 35. He recently served as the 2019 co-chair of the Immigration Law Section of the Dallas Bar Association.
Noaman regularly advises large and small companies on proper Department of Labor procedures and guidelines for labor certification filings. As a former athlete himself, Noaman works closely with many professional athletes in securing O-1 visas and permanent residency (EB-1A) based on their extraordinary athletic ability. In federal immigration court, Noaman has secured asylum and withholding of removal for many of his clients, including those from Albania, Eritrea, Somalia, Pakistan and Iran. He has also successfully litigated many complex legal issues in immigration court including admissibility, deportability, eligibility for immigration relief and waivers. His advocacy and superior trial skills have earned him the praises of multiple immigration judges in Dallas, TX.
Noaman often speaks at CLEs and religious and community centers regarding updates in immigration law – most recently Executive Order 13769, commonly labeled “the Muslim Ban.” In 2017, Noaman spoke on the law school’s Diversity Week Panel on Religion and the Law.
While at Texas Tech University School of Law, Noaman served as Chairman of the Board of Barristers, won the intra-school advanced moot court and mock trial competitions and was selected to six national moot court teams – winning best oralist at multiple national moot court tournaments. Upon graduating, he received the Donald M. Hunt Outstanding Barrister Award, Top Gun Advocacy Award, Fulbright & Jaworski Scholarship, Judge Meade F. Griffin Outstanding Achievement Award from the law school faculty, and was inducted into the National Order of Barristers.
