Immigrant Attorney - 5 stars is not enough!

I'm on H1B visa and Dominic Kong was hired by my previously employer to take care of my case as well all cases for the company. He was always extremely professional and any questions I had, it was quickly answered. Dominic is extremely professional and he knows what he does. I've changed jobs and the... new attorney is rude and extremely difficult to reach. I even called Dominic to ask a few questions about my case, because my current attorney didn't care to answer and he was extremely courteous to talk to me and help me. I would recommend him without a doubt. It's not easy to find such amazing attorney like him.

A Fearless Fighter for Her Clients

Claudia was recommended to me independently by two people who did not know each other and whose opinions I highly respect, and I have retained her office for all my immigration matters since 2009. This was an important decision in a crucial yet difficult moment in my life, and I am glad I made the ri...ght choice. Thanks to the impeccable skills and unwavering dedication of Claudia and her staff, I now have a green card. And I plan to retain her office for my naturalization and my family’s adjustment of status in the next several years. I have had a complicated case that involved literally all immigration agencies, all of which Claudia handled skillfully with the interests of her client in mind. A great lawyer is not simply someone who knows the law; rather, she is one who is adept at “lawyering.” I am most impressed by Claudia’s abilities at maneuvering complex legal pieces moving through various agencies simultaneously, negotiating the best legal venues for her clients, engaging with ever-changing immigration law, and above all, controlling the art of timing so crucial in legal proceedings. A fearless advocate of social justice, Claudia fights for immigration equality and for the lives of her clients, be they identified as LGBTQ, people of color, and/or DACA. A straight talker, Claudia offers not unrealistic fantasies but genuine and nuanced analysis of a client’s case and best options. She is personally invested in not only my case but my life. Her associates, in particular Leena Khandwala, and staff have treated me with professionalism and respect. And her rates are fair; her billable hours, transparent. I am grateful for all that Claudia Slovinsky has done for me, and I strongly recommend her to anyone in need of immigration counsel.

The Best There Is

Claudia Slovinsky is an exceptionally gifted, dedicated and compassionate immigration attorney. She was referred to us by our trusted family lawyer, who described her as “the best immigration lawyer” he knew. He wasn’t kidding. Claudia and her great team masterfully handled a host of complex and c...hallenging legal issues related to my initial immigration application and eventual successful naturalization request. Claudia listened, knew all the right angles, worked closely with us to build strong legal arguments, seized opportunities, and fought relentlessly for me. We are blessed to have found her and refer others to her all the time. She is truly amazing.

Made all the difference for my and my life

For 10 years, I've dealt with many lawyers regarding my case--a deeply complicated, tough case. None of them were wiling or knowledgeable to take my case on. When I thought I was at the end of the line with my options, I met Claudia and her team through a recommendation. I am remarkably lucky I found... her. She dealt with my case with realism, with facts and with options. And with careful, caring work, she found a way to address it. When I read the work she and her team had done, when we had to finally file it, I was in tears. Here was an advocate that understood and empathized and worked and cared about me and the long struggle I had. And when it counted the most, she was there at my hearing and for my family. I always felt comfortable, assured and defended through my years working with her. Thank you Claudia for everything.

highly recommedned

My husband and I worked with Claudia on an adjustment of status application. She and her entire team were totally helpful throughout the entire process. At the initial consultation, she developed a strong strategy for our case and then she worked with us to implement the strategy. We were informed du...ring every stage and we feel we were very well represented. I have already recommended Claudia to friends who need help with immigration matters. She is a first rate lawyer.
