Horrible

She is not as good of the lawyer as she thinks she is . Why to put all educational and work experiences when in reality you can’t do anything? She is this type of the lawyer that only cares about money before anything. I have consulted with her several times on my case and every time she gave a wrong... immigration answer. But she expects the client to pay every time you ask her anything. This lawyer is wast of time and money.

I am sorry to hear that, however, I do not have a record of you consulting with our office. Typically, we only offer one consultation unless additional services are requested. If there has been any confusion or misunderstanding, I encourage you to contact our office directly. My priority is always to provide accurate legal guidance and support to all clients.

H1b case

Sophia came into my H1B case at the moment when the mistakes made by a previous "lawyer" needed to be fixed. I have received a letter from USCIS with a request for additional evidence. Sophia faced a difficult task of proving to the government that my artistic occupation required a bachelor degree. ...She drafted multiple letters for the experts to sign, her firm found an independent expert who evaluated my case, she also prepared a very thorough cover letter. My visa was approved because of Sophia's help. I will use Sophia's services again in the future and I recommend her to anyone who needs help in immigration matters. She is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer and a good human being!

great balance of care, knowledge and professionalism

A trustworthy friend recommended Ms Solovyova for a number of immigration and work-related issues we had to resolve. After an initial call among a variety of lawyers we decided we wanted to entrust her with the necessary work, not least, because both my wife and I are from different places overseas (...as is Ms Solovyova originally. She’s been in NY for more than two decades or so). We wanted someone who can relate to the immigration experience first hand! And we feel that our intuitive choice was immediately approved by her balance of apparent care, knowledge, professionalism, and (is this beneficial in a review?:) her fee, which seems very fair compared to the other quotes we received. Ms Solovyova seems to put her heart, soul and considerable intelligence into our case on a level that makes us rethink the well-loved stereotypes about lawyers. I only gave her 4 stars for ‘responsive’ because she couldn’t always take my calls right away (but always responded within a few hours) as she seems in high demand. No wonder.
