About
Nadeem H. Makada is a Northern California attorney whose practice covers immigration, workers’ compensation, and personal injury. He established his legal practice in 1996 and represents individuals facing immigration proceedings as well as workers and accident victims pursuing injury-related claims. Nadeem works on matters ranging from applications for lawful status to contested federal immigration litigation. His broad practice brings together questions of legal status, workplace injuries, and compensation for harm suffered through another party’s conduct.
Nadeem attended the University of Colorado Boulder School of Law before beginning his California practice. His professional development has centered on litigation, immigration procedure, and the legal rules governing workplace and personal injury claims. Because these practice areas involve different agencies and court systems, his work requires close attention to deadlines, documentary evidence, and the remedies available in each type of case. This legal background supports the preparation and defense of claims where clients have important personal or financial interests at risk.
Nadeem represents immigrants in deportation defense proceedings, including complex cases before federal courts. His immigration work includes green card applications, naturalization, and cancellation of removal matters involving parents of children with disabilities or special learning needs. In addition, he advocates for injured workers and individuals bringing personal injury claims. The practice has reported substantial recoveries in workers’ compensation and personal injury matters, although those outcomes represent the work of the office rather than an individual guarantee for any client.
Nadeem H. Makada has built a practice serving clients in Burlingame and Sacramento and has worked across these legal fields for decades. His approach emphasizes advocacy in contested proceedings and attention to the individual circumstances that make immigration and injury cases complex. Whether dealing with a threatened removal or a claim arising from an injury, he helps clients identify the available procedures, gather evidence, and understand the possible paths toward resolving the matter.
