Wholeheartedly recommend!

I wholeheartedly recommend Spektor, Spektor & Berman, P.C. Yakov is a true professional – quick, kind, generous, and knowledgeable. My wife had a difficult case applying for a green card, and Yakov was there to walk us through the entire process. We had a positive result in a relatively short amount ...of time. His whole team is detail-oriented, courteous, and always willing to go the extra mile to help. Additionally, considering the quality of work and our results, the fees are very reasonable. Compared to other experiences with immigration lawyers that we’ve had, Yakov and his team have been a godsend.

VERY professional and knowledgeable immigration attorney

Yakov is the best immigration attorney I’ve worked with so far (oh, trust me, I had so many lawyers in the last 3,5 years). He is VERY professional and knowledgeable...and is also a very good person. Thank you, Yakov, for solving my immigration difficulties! :-) Mahalo and Aloha

Everything works out nicely

Yakov helped me with the long and hectic process of immigration. He consistently made sure that everything goes smoothly. Would recommend him to anyone.

Remarkably calm, reassuring, and knowledgeable immigration attorney

Yakov Spektor already came recommended to my wife and I but even if he hadn't, he won us over in our initial consultation. As previously stated, Yakov is extremely knowledgeable about the immigration process my wife and I were facing, giving us very realistic timeframes and expectations of both pape...rwork and general documentation needed from us as well as responses we should expect from the government throughout the process. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone considering an immigration lawyer. Though he already helped us acquire my wife's permanent resident card we look forward to hiring Yakov again when it comes to applying for United States citizenship.
