Claudia Slovinsky

Claudia and her team are the best in business. We have successfully received permanent residency status for my husband, and Claudia and team have been there through the journey from the fiancé visa application through to the final interview. It turned out to be quite a complex and long case, hit with... COVID delays, but the team were consistently there by our side throughout. The counsel and guidance was always thoughtful and considered, they were never going through the motions, and advice was always specific to our situation and nuances of the case. And as an LGBT couple, we always appreciated their unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Has a difficult experience with her many years ago. My wife was applying for green card through marriage. Her mother passed away and my wife was desperate to go to her mom's funeral. Claudia told us there was nothing we could do. A couple of days passed and then an acquaintance told my wife abou...t something called advance parole. We ended up retrieving everything from Claudia's office and under desperate pressure we were able to work everything out on our own (with INS) and my wife went home. Had this not worked out my wife would have been forever haunted. My impression was that Ms. Slovinksy did not care about my wife's situation and that she made our simple application much more complicated and slower than necessary.

Claudia, Leena, and Jonathan worked wonderfully as a team and all three showed a lot of patience as they guided us through the daunting task of obtaining a Green Card. It is my opinion that most lawyers probably have a good intellectual understanding of this system; however, they took it a step forwa...rd and provided us with the necessary support and were available, when necessary, to answer any question we had. I never felt rushed nor like an imposition. Jonathan, the Paralegal, was extremely efficient and his follow-up on items was commendable. He was on top of every little detail every step of the way---so extremely important in this process. Leena was extremely knowledgeable around the interview process and eased any anxieties we had in terms of this process. Claudia was thorough in her approach and I felt like we were in really good hands from the very beginning of this green card process. Additionally, her secure, confident approach, along with Jonathan's efficiency and Leena's knowledge of the bigger items such as the interview process helped us make it through this cumbersome process seamlessly. And, the warmth and support they provided was an extra bonus but should not go unrecognized, especially since we did this long distance. I would highly recommend this team for the process of becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident .

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.

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.
