Two thumbs up!!! Highly recommend!!!

Я искренне благодарна адвокату Оксане Соколовой за оказанную юридическую помощь в области семейного законодательства. Адвокат Оксана Соколова была рекомендована мне прихожанами церкви, которую я посещаю. И не случайно. Быстро разобравшись в моей ситуации, Оксана Соколова грамотно составила стратеги...ю защиты на суде и предоставила мне четкие рекомендации. Благодаря ей я чувствовала себя намного увереннее. Результат был лучше, чем ожидала. Теперь и я советую этого специалиста всем, кто ищет надежного адвоката, так как Оксана Соколова - грамотный специалист, хорошо знающий действующее законодательство, здраво смотрящая на события и всегда на стороне справедливости. Ее характеризуют человечность и беспристрастность: она может точно увидеть и оценить психологические моменты личности своих клиентов, доказать невиновность того, кто действительно не виноват, и убедить в этом суд. Кроме того, Оксана Соколова - адвокат par excellence не только по количеству выигранных дел, хотя это тоже очень важно, но и по ее известности как в Америке, так и в России, равно как и во многих других государствах. Очень важная черта Оксаны Соколовой – профессиональный подход к клиенту, своевременность реагирования, подробность и четкость объяснения клиенту существенных моментов на консультациях. Успешный адвокат Оксана Соколова, по моему мнению, особенная, наполненная состраданием и пониманием проблем клиентов. Она делает все и даже больше, чем это возможно, для того чтобы отстоять права своих клиентов. Адвокат с большой буквы. Лариса Чович

Рекомендую всем

Я очень рекомендую адвоката Оксану Соколову всем кто попал в непростую ситуацию. Рад, что в момент когда я находился в тяжелейшем и как мне казалось безвыходном положении я встретил именно ее. Она отнеслась к моей проблеме не рутинно и я почувствовал, что для нее я был не просто очередной "клиент".... Консультируясь с ней я почувствовал её искреннее желание помочь, поддержать, успокоить и сделать для меня процесс судебного разбирательства менее пугающим и болезненным. Все мои многочисленные вопросы ею были разобраны полностью и досконально чего я не могу сказать о консультациях с другими адвокатами. Она объективно оценила мою ситуацию и мои перспективы. Она дала мне много важных и полезных советов. После разговора с ней я впервые за несколько месяцев почувствовал себя гораздо спокойнее и это было так же важно для меня как и информация полученная в ходе консультации. Учитывая, что часть моих проблем связана с Россией, немаловажным для меня оказалось наличие у Оксаны права юридической практики в судах Российской Федерации и юридического представительства в г. Москва. Кроме того, оказалось что Оксана отлично разбирается в вопросах налогообложения. Не смотря на то что её консультация продлилась дольше 2х часов она не взяла с меня более чем за 1 час своей работы. И я считаю что для профессионала ее уровня стоимость эта более чем приемлема. Кроме того, мною до консультации было выслано подробное описание моей проблемы с которой она ознакомилась заранее. Если бы меня спросили коротко охарактеризовать Оксану Соколову я бы сказал следующее: человечность, искреннее желание помочь, профессионализм, глубокое знание закона и компетенция по широкому спектру вопросов.

An attorney with high integrity

I found Oksana through a recommendation by the Russian consulate in New York. I’m limitlessly grateful for it. When I met Oksana my case was already closed due to negligence and incompetence of American attorneys, each blaming the prior one for their failures. I was misled, deceived, and defrau...ded by five attorneys in total. Oksana studied the case very thoroughly, getting into its finest details, and concluding that it wasn’t her specialty. However, she was willing to offer help, opinion, and guidance. The case was relatively straight forward. My husband is a very sick man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. His children abused his condition and stole from him. Most attorneys I dealt with before would charge high fees, but I didn’t hear a strong legal position and didn't see results. My experience with Oksana was quite the opposite. She structured our thinking and framed our legal stance. This was the first time I felt confident that we had a solid winning position. Looking back on the prior attorney’s work, it all seemed vague, and questionable by comparison. She did what I was paying others to do. Oksana ended up guiding my attorneys in many ways. Importantly, she became a stakeholder in my case, she was present, and she would ask my attorneys the questions I wasn’t qualified to ask, which motivated them to do the work they were being paid to do. We ended up winning the case, to the surprise of my attorney. The court gave my husband’s children 45 days to prepare a report on how they spent the money after which there was a long silence from my attorneys. Oksana again stepped in stating that the silence is suspicious. She asked me to send her the most current papers and found out that, my attorneys were to submit documents to the court as per the court schedule, and the other side was to respond by the 11th of the month. Oksana called the attorney and found out that he never submitted the documents. The attorney admitted that he was at fault. Oksana again stepped in and fixed the situation, saving the case once again. Quite ironically, one attorney asked me to write a review as soon as I hired him. Literally, before he did any work. Oksana never did, and that’s why I’m writing it. She appeared in court as my trusted representative. According to even my attorney, she was very bold and presented the case in a way that the judge had no doubts as to the merits of our position. Oksana is a person you can trust with your case. Even if she is not handling it directly as an attorney, she can be your representative to ensure your attorneys are not defrauding you. She makes attorneys accountable. She asks them the right questions and stands your ground. We have to trust attorneys because we have no knowledge or competence or time to know whether they are doing the right thing, whether they are following your interests or those of their own (which I found to be the case more often than not). It’s just too tempting when the client has no clue. Attorneys can simply tell the client the case was too complex or their position was too weak, and the client would never know whether it was the weakness of the case or the attorney. The client doesn’t know how to stand up for themselves against their own attorney. The client can’t hold the attorney accountable. The client doesn’t know about bar associations and the attorney’s responsibilities. Oksana can play that role and keep your attorney in check, oversee your attorney’s work, offer a second opinion and prevent problems. Oksana has a beautiful mind and clear, structured thinking. In my case, she framed the legal argument in a way that was powerful, undeniable and would stand up to scrutiny.

She is not just a lawyer!

I've had a couple cases with Oksana and each one was done successfully. The most recent one was going on for past couple years and as of Oksana's advise it was worth the wait! I highly admire her passion for helping people! As for me she has changed my life for the better. So much good to say about ...her so I will just say I give 10 stars out of 5 and highly recommend Oksana! You will never find better!

I can't say enough positive things about Oksana Sokolova.

From the very first meeting she gave me enough information regarding my case, so I was able to handle everything by myself. I had a few cases with Oksana and she was showing extraordinary professional skills. Oksana is an amazing lady to work with. She treats her clients as a family member. I c...an't say enough how happy and thankful I am in with working with someone as fantastic as Oksana Sokolova. I would recommend Oksana Sokolova to anyone needing help with a legal problem.
