Genuinely Caring and Exceptionally Skilled Immigration Lawyer

Tsirina made a stressful process feel so much easier. She was always on top of every detail, knew all the nuances and the latest immigration laws, and made sure every preparation was handled perfectly. She even went beyond her role as a lawyer—helping me find an interpreter, consulting with me, and p...atiently answering every question. Because of her, the whole process was truly stress-free. It’s rare to find someone so knowledgeable and genuinely caring.

Excellent & Dedicated Immigration Lawyer!

Tsirina is very methodical and answered every single one of my questions with both certainty and clarity. As a permanent resident, she guided me along the process of naturalization and was tremendously helpful given her wealth of knowledge and empathy, all of which granted me much needed peace of m...ind on the road to citizenship. She is not only incredible at what she does, but she also does it with care and kindness.

Extremely professional.

Tsirina took the time to get to know my husband and myself as people and not just as a number, she took us on as her clients and looked through our paperwork; filing for green card through marriage; that I attempted to fill out for my husband and myself which unfortunately became a little tricky due ...to misinformation I was given elsewhere. She was extremely thorough and detailed in everything concerning information, documentations, evidence be it photographic proof or other binding paper trails. Tsirina kept in touch weekly especially when we had a major setback with our living arrangements, and to see if there was any other developments. Going over documentation she does more than just double checking which I personally appreciate. With her guidance and expertise on immigration filing, we were pleasantly surprised that from March 2024 to September 2024 I officially have recieved my green card and I don't think we could have done it without the detailed knowledge and assistance from Tsirina.

Exceptional Immigration Attorney

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by attorney Tsirina Goroshit. She made the process of my husband's immigration to the US smooth and stress-free by handling all the necessary paperwork and legal requirements. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we are now also reuniti...ng with my step-children, who are all receiving their green cards. Tsirina provided us with very specific instructions based on our case, which greatly helped us during the interview process and even expedited the children's interview dates. Specializing in family-based immigration, her professionalism and compassion have truly made a significant difference in our lives. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of immigration assistance.

Highly recommend ! Green Card process

Tsirina helped me file and complete my Green Card process. From the beginning she was extremely helpful, efficient, and professional. She explained everything to us from what we could do to have the best case, what could prove an obstacle, and how to overcome it. She guided us with so much clarity a...nd communication making us feel very in control and ready for every outcome. Luckily our process was very quick and we had no real issues but if there were, we would have been prepared. Her professionalism and expertise in the field are as good as it gets and I highly recommend !

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
