Highly recommend

I couldn’t have been more grateful to Julia, she is truly an amazing lawyer. From the very first minute of our consultation I knew I can trust hurt and she knows what she’s doing. We’ve worked together for a few months preparing all documents and working on my case ( I had an asylum case). And althou...gh it’s a very stressful and exhausting process Julia always made sure I’m not stressing out or even worrying about something by providing detailed explanations to everything, guiding me thought every single stage of my process, answering a ton of questions and just simply being very friendly and supportive lawyer . I had a successful interview, I was granted an asylum and I couldn’t do this without her help. A few of my acquaintances have already contacted her after my recommendation and I have no doubts they are in good hands.

Julia Greenberg worked on my asylum case. She is a very caring and competent lawyer. Julia was calm in explaining everything related to my case and was very helpful in general. She is professional and prompt with her service. Always answered all the questions, knowledgeable and an absolute expert in ...her profession. Thank you very much for all your help!!!

“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.
