Document management - C-. 4. She had to re submit her petitions/motions because the court would throw... them back to her - F Look up some cases where she sues her own clients.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have the pleasure to share an office with Ilona and to see how she goes above and beyond to help each client. She puts clients at ease and guides them through difficult times with efficiency and compassion. We have worked together in asylum and real estate matters. Ilona speaks several languages and can overcome limitations of cross-cultural knowledge and understanding. I met Ilona at St. John’s School of Law, where I served as director of the Master of Laws program in U.S. Legal Studies and as an adjunct professor of law. Ilona impressed me as a hard-working, thoughtful person who demonstrates remarkable initiate and drive. I was already impressed with Ilona’s performance at law school, and she continues to impress me as a colleague."

"Ilona Shtark is one of the most knowledgeable, tenacious, and hardworking attorneys I have worked with. She advocates equally zealously for all of her clients. Counselor Shtark is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and diligent. A truly excellent attorney well respected in the legal community. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of her clients and getting them the most favorable results possible."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Without any exaggeration or fluff, I genuinely admire, respect and look up to Ilona. She's an exemplary ideal for lawyers and as a person in general. For anyone who knows her, she has an incredible personal story, is extremely intelligent and well-educated, and speaks multiple languages. As a person, she genuinely cares about her client and the case, which is unfortunately something that's increasingly rare in the legal profession. As a professional, she is constantly looking to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and case summaries. Yet, what stands out to me is her strength as a soft-spoke, but powerful and confident business woman. She makes things happen, and she's honest and genuine. If you think you can easily find that in the New York marketplace, feel free to take your chances. I think that professionals and clients alike can only benefit from dealing with Ilona. Always a pleasure to work with."
