Since we already had an unpleasant experience with an immigration lawyer in the past, we were choosing the next lawyer very carefully. Two friends and an interpreter we knew advised us lawyer Lana Schimmel. I asked all three of them the question: "Why exactly should she help?" There were three answer...s: “Because she is the best in her business!”, “You have only two options: Lana or her sister Natasha - they are the best in New York!”, “Because she is Lana Schimmel!” And we made the right choice. Lana really helped. She put a lot of time and effort into our case. There were many meetings, work, preparations. Therefore, we got a positive result. We are very grateful to the entire Schimmel & Samus law office. Besides Lana, I would like to highlight the translator Svetlana Minevich, who professionally and in the shortest possible time translated a lot of our documents. Today, if I would be asked, which lawyer should I go to? I will also say the name of Lana Schimmel. On the question "Why her?" I have the same three arguments: “Because she is the best in her field!”, “You have only two options: Lana or her sister Natasha - they are the best in New York!”, “Because she is Lana Schimmel!”

Prior to meeting Lana, I approached few lawyers and wasn’t satisfied with them. I was about to select one until a friend of mine introduced me to Lana. She answered to all my questions professionally and I could sense high level of expertise in her field, so I signed the contract without hesitating. ...She brings empathy to the legal profession in addition to her strong legal reasoning and analysis. I know her to be conscientious and competent. Lana deeply cares about her work and her clients and works diligently. She is honest, reasonable, level headed and trustworthy. I am very thankful to my friend for referring her. I would undoubtedly recommend Lana and the services of her firm to anyone seeking proficient, passionate and effective legal counsel.

I am very thankful to Lana for the work she has done on my case back in 2015. From the moment I walked in into her office to the moment my case was finally resolved - she was very professional, knowledgeable, and on point with every little detail. I had a disappointing experience with a previous l...awyer who didn't have time to pay enough attention to my case, and I felt like I am fighting on my own. I made a decision to look for another lawyer.. Long story.. But Lana Schimmel was my last resort for help, while my case was on the tight timeline. She took on a case with all the attention it needed, gave me straight directions on what to do, what to collect, and gave me confidence that this time around it's going to be good. I had a 100% response rate and communication whenever I needed. This was the lawyer that made me feel like I was in good hands. I wanted to express my gratitude to Lana Schimmel and her office colleagues and staff for the work accomplished! The staff in her office is very helpful and courteous. I would definitely advise anyone who asks me for a lawyer to seek her help.
