ATTORNEY AT LAW
ABOUT MICHAEL SHABANI
Attorney Michael Shabani founded the firm in 1997 with a
clear mission — to guide immigrants and families through one of the most important journeys of their lives. Having experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating complex legal systems, Mr. Shabani built his practice on the belief that every client deserves the same compassion, diligence, and respect he would extend to his own family.
Over more than three decades, he has represented thousands of clients in family-based immigration, deportation defense, and federal litigation cases across Alabama and beyond. His reputation for integrity and results has earned recognition from peers, judges, and the local community alike.
Mr. Shabani is known not only for his legal expertise but also for his approachable, client-centered style. He takes time to understand each person’s story — whether they are reuniting with loved ones, facing removal proceedings, or building a new life through employment opportunities. This human-centered focus defines his approach to every case.
In 2024, he proudly welcomed the attorneys at Crumbley Law into partnership, uniting two respected firms under one shared purpose: to deliver outstanding legal representation with compassion, clarity, and precision. Together, Shabani– Crumbley, P.C. continues to stand at the forefront of immigration advocacy in Alabama and the Southeast.
I believe every client
deserves the same
dedication and care we’d
give to our own family.
