Best immigration lawyer we've ever had, highly recommended

Gregory is the best lawyer we’ve ever had. My wife and I seek service from his office on I-485 applications. He is very professional, responsive, and reliable. During our application processes, he thoroughly answered all of our questions and replied to our emails right away, which gave us a lot of co...nfidence in our cases. We highly recommend Greg to those who need immigration services! And thank you Greg and your team for supporting us during the application!

Phenomenal lawyer!

We came into the marriage-based green card process with little to no understanding of how intense it could be. From the moment we had the initial consultation with Greg, we were blown away by his knowledge and professionalism. The entire process took less time than we imagined and resulted in no hicc...ups thanks to Greg and his team. He also masterfully dealt with all the questions from two neurotic type As such as my husband and myself (and was also incredibly speedy with responding, literally no stone unturned). You seriously cannot go wrong with hiring him as your attorney. I would 100% recommend and hope we can work with him again when we go through the naturalization process!

many thanks to Greg and Livia

I worked with Greg’s Romanowsky team since January 2019. I had very complicated case. My wife was deported due to violation of immigration law (not intentionally). Our previous lawyer forgot to tell us that we need to obtain parole prior to travel overseas. When she came to US on B2 visa and mention...ed that we have applied for a green card she was deported, rather in a rude manner. I looked online, checked good references on Greg’s team and contacted them. Once I called him, I immediately realized that I am talking to the true professional (in contrary to my previous lawyer). He explained me situation, challenges associated with our deportation and quickly put together a plan for our case. He also proposed a few scenarios on how to accelerate our case. As a result, within four months, after intensive work on our case from Greg’s team, we got interview with immigration officer. To make sure that it would be successful Greg sent his associate, Livia, to accompany me during this interview. While I am comfortable with English (more than 10 years of managing position in a large pharmaceutical company), I was little nervous. Livia helped me a lot during this interview, our case was approved. Greg’s team also helped me to accelerate the movement of our case within the immigration system-the case at Russian embassy in Moscow was created withing two months. But then, the bureaucratic system kicked in and started working very slowly given a complexity of relationship between Russia and US and pandemic situation on a top of it. Greg’s team was very helpful of pushing our case, bugging embassy every month. As a result, we got our immigration visa approved and printed and we are very happy with our collaboration with Livia and Greg. One thing I would like to mention is that they are very knowledgeable, very comfortable to work with. It appeared to me that they are always one step ahead of the game and they are very respected by the immigration officials.

Most highly recommended!

My wife and I sought the services of the Romanovsky Law Offices for filing our green card applications (which we have now successfully completed and received our cards). Without a doubt, Romanovsky Law has our highest recommendation to anyone seeking legal help with their immigration-related issues. ... Knowledge and expertise: Greg and his team members are very knowledgeable not only of the immigration law but also of the working of USCIS and related local offices. Right from the start, they provided us with all the information and explained the entire process very clearly. Filling out the applications with their help was super easy. Communication and Responsiveness: Greg’s entire office is very responsive. We never had to wait for more than an hour or two to get a response regarding any of our emails/calls. Every question and query was always answered with a detailed answer in a very timely manner. Diligence and Value for money: We really felt that Greg’s team worked very diligently on our case. On top of all the help leading up to the final stage, Greg also personally accompanied us to our interview and provided very needed reassurance while we waited for the decision. We genuinely feel their services are totally worth the money and will seek their services again without hesitation.

Highly professional, efficient and attentive

Greg has made this whole process of dealing with immigration hassle free. He is knowledgeable and attentive and follows up regularly with his clients. We could not have been luckier in having him as our lawyer. I highly recommend retaining his law office for all immigration related applications.
