Expert in Immigration Matters

Claudia represented me in a long process of requesting and receiving asylum, receiving a green card, and, just a few weeks ago, obtaining my US citizenship. My case was long and complicated, but she patiently and thoroughly went through every single detail, assembled an impressive file of supporting... documents and statements, and helped me become a full citizen at the end. I couldn't have imagined trying to navigate this process without an expert, and she is the best. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney !

Claudia Slovinsky and her team of attorneys are in my opinion the very best in their field of immigration law. I can state this with certainty based on my personal experience with this firm. I am one of this countries newest citizens thanks to Claudia and her team. Back in 2010 I made the mistake ...of applying for my citizenship on my own without the help and advice of a lawyer, this is when my nightmare began. It turned out that the Green card which I had in my possession for ten years was invalid. This happened because i had unknowingly signed a waiver giving up my right to my green card . I sought help for this issue through a community organization and to my delight my green card was re issued to me by immigration services . I lived and worked and traveled in and out of the USA many times during this period but, at my interview with immigration services the book was basically thrown at me, as they told me that my green card was invalid even after they had sent it back to me ? It was then i realized that i needed not just a lawyer but the very best immigration lawyer that i could get. I was advised to consult with Claudia Slovinsky and i must say it was sound advise. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Claudia as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced immigration attorney. Her firm has many years experience dealing with all sorts of immigration issues. Her approach to my problem was very professional and she gave me the reassurance and optimism that i needed in this very difficult and confusing time in my life. At the time i was married to a US citizen which definitely helped my case and after several months Claudia secured a new green card for me. I was told then by immigration services that i could reapply for citizenship after two years and nine months had passed. Three months later I was unfortunately dealt another devastating blow as my wife passed away suddenly. Claudia and her staff reached out to me and my daughters at the time to offer their condolences and i greatly appreciated this. As I was no longer married to a US citizen, I would have to wait five years and nine months to reapply for citizenship. Time passed and it was time to reapply for citizenship and I did not hesitate in contacting Claudia Slovinky and her team in assisting me . I feel that I could not have been in better hands throughout this whole experience and I greatly appreciate Claudia and her office for being very professional and extremely approachable. Sincerely, Patrick.....Citizen.

Permanent Residency Application

The help of Claudia Slovinsky's law firm was essential in the application process for my husband's application for permanent residency. When a family emergency threatened to throw our application timeline into disarray, the firm was quick to give us advice and help. Our process with USCIS was ultimat...ely relatively smooth, in large part thanks to the work of Ms Slovinsky and her colleagues, especially the fabulously competent paralegal, Katie. Thank you all.

The best lawyer!

It was a pleasure to work with Claudia Slovinsky! My husband and I are both got our papers with her help and knowledge . Our case was not easy to deal with,but she knew how to turn things out and put it in to the right path ! She has answered all our questions, returned our calls and has been amazing... at explaining how this whole system works. She's professional, very honest,kind and gets right down to business. I could not have been referred to a better lawyer ! Thank you so much for everything that you did for us and our family !

applicant for Permanent Resident status

we needed a really experienced and trustworthy attorney to help guide us through the whole process of applying for permanent Resident status, and a friend wholeheartedly recommended the law firm of Claudia Slovinsky. So we went very nervously to our first meeting with Ms. Slovinsky, and no one cou...ld have laid out our course of action better or clearer or more distinctly than she did that afternoon. And from that point on, we simply had to follow her guidelines for us, providing the documents she needed and gathering together all necessary information. We worked with her team for over a year, doing everything just as she directed and they helped us carry out, I never felt lost or confused, but when I had any question at all, I could call or email and get a very fully satisfactory answer immediately, Everyone in her office from associate attorney to paralegals and secretary were all amazingly responsive and totally knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very encouraging at every step. I have since seen other situations like ours, and the applicants' attorneys were never so totally present and informed and cheerfully helpful. Frankly I can't imagine having gone through this process (which is now completed and a total success!!!) with any other less attentive or less pro-active than the Claudia Slovinsky firm! God bless them and may they have a great new year, because they sure made it possible for us to have one, and many afterwards hopefully!!!!
