Employment-based Green Card application

I consulted with Irena Mykyta and she provided me with helpful information regarding my employment-based Green Card application. I appreciate her advice and time.

A trusted, efficient and empathic attorney

My father passed away, leaving us with a trust that needed probate and a great deal of explanation. Note that it was finalized only days before he passed away. My family was left attempting to marshal all of this funds\real estate and found that his will and trust were useless. Irena stepped in while... we were vulnerable, walked us through the entire process, explained everything clearly without any condescension. A great experience and now I will work with Irena on my own will\trust.

Great Experience

Updated a will and the supporting documents. Helpful, knowledgable, accessible. Made writing a will a positive experience.

Posted by John | April 30, 2018 | Estate Planning

Knowledgeable and fair

I had a specific estate problem regarding a very valuable property that was difficult to deal with because I live outside of the state of New York. I had called numerous attorneys looking for initial advice and all wanted a monstrous retainer to even speak with me. Irena took the time to return a voi...ce message that I left for her and told me very honestly that my situation based on its location was not something she would handle. But she took an extraordinary amount of time to direct me in the right direction, what I should look for in an attorney and she sent me a database of attorneys on Long Island to contact. This was quite above and beyond the call of duty. She never asked for a retainer or for any monetary compensation for the hour of time that you gave me. In this day and age I find that unbelievably refreshing and realize that she is motivated by problem resolution and not greed. If I had a specific problem that she could handle I would never hesitate to call her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
