Simply Outstanding

Julia Greenberg represented me and my husband in our immigration case. She is very calm, reassuring and knowledgeable. In a process that can be very stressful, she definitely delivered a steadfast and stable manner at all times. Instead of putting more stress on us, she gave us hands on instructio...ns to follow and think about in the administrative as well as the practical part of the process. She has a friendly and respectful manner that plays out very well within all the external steps in the process. Needless to say she is yet firm and disciplined thru all contact, regards to the immigration process. We would definitely recommend Mrs. Julia Greenberg to represent you thru your immigration process, she is not raising your blood pressure unnecessarily. She calm you down and make sure you stay focused thru the whole process.

“Glad I have chosen her”

Julia handled my asylum case. Thanks to her it got approved instantly. My case was very complicated, confusing and contradicting (economic persecution due to my political opinion). During our work together she structured the long history of my case and persecution, summarized it with paying attention... to relevant and important details. She an exceptional professional, who is also hardworking, neat and scrupulous in analyzing the material. In her representation she focused on my strongest points and presented them in a very professional matter. She has good eruditionand sharp mind, which helped her present my case in most favorable way. Her good professional education allowed her to effectively use various sources of information and precedents. In my case, her strong knowledge and understanding of what is happening in the post-Soviet republics gave us big advantage in interraction with the asylum officer. Her English, which was professionally perfect, let her review documents the documents which were translated by certified professionals and identify many errors and inaccuracies in the translation. She was very attentive to detail. In addition, it: she is positive, honest and pleasant in dealing with people. I am glad I met her.

Great job, thank you!

While working with us Julia showed that she was actually good and knowledgeable lawyer. Her advices helped me get through the interview. She also helped to figure out problems with my daughter's documents. Julia is responsible, literate and smart lawyer. I recommend her to everyone.

Great people come in small packages!!!

I started working with Julia last October a day before my initial interview she gave so much information in such a short time. I regretted not meeting and starting my case with her. Unfortunately I was scheduled for a interview a few months later. Julia was always available I never sent a text yes a... TEXT message and never got a response no matter what time of the day. She gave us useful and valuable information and was quiet calm and made us feel comfortable . Julia is by far the best after preparing with her for the second interview we felt comfortable and confident going in. After a 1 hour interview that went well. I received a text that my case was approved. I know we could not have prepared and handled it the way we did without Julia . She is the BEST!!! Thanks Julia!! My husband and I are very grateful for your help.

Green Card Win

Julia instantly put us at ease with her calm yet professional manner. It was clear from when we started working with Julia she was very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. She had an answer to all of our questions and we sailed through our whole green card application process from start to fin...ish with no problems. She was attentive and on the ball in our interview speaking up to settle matters when needed. My husband and I felt supported throughout what can be quite a stressful process. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for an efficient and conscientious immigration lawyer.
