Claudia Slovinsky

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.

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 !

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!!!!

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.

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.
