bad experience

I hired and retained Ms. Slovinsky to apply for asylum but she failed to deliver and charged me for unreasonable amount of fees. There were no detail information or proof regarding the charges and fees in the invoice that I received from her after I requested a refund. I raised my concerns and disa...greements regarding the unreasonable fees to Ms. Slovinsky but she had no intention to resolve. Moreover, Ms. Slovinsky tried to ask me to sign a different and new retainer agreement with $2500 just for my naturalization interview, which was way too expensive comparing to the market standard. Ms. Slovinsky ignored my request to return my files and documents related to my case. And I had to wait for at least 20 minutes every time that I had an appointment with her associate.

I am sorry to read about your experience with our office’s services. However, I am surprised about your characterization of the facts. We provided you with a detailed invoice explaining all time charged. It was fortunate, and we were very happy for you, that ultimately and at the last minute you did not need the application filed but, unfortunately, almost all the work had already been done. We refunded you the balance of funds not spent, as is our practice in all cases.

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!!!!

Just wonderful!!!!

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 .
