The worst

This is a terrible law firm. Never seek their help — they are unprofessional and only care about profit. My husband and I were abandoned by them at the most difficult moment. They stopped communicating with us and ended our cooperation, citing employee vacations. We had paid a deposit, which they ref...used to return, even though they did absolutely no work — only deception.

We were betrayed and deceived

We are a couple from Russia, preparing to seek asylum in the U.S. We turned to Shipelsky Law, signed a contract with Marina, and paid part of the fee while still in Russia. We were promised assistance, even in the event of detention at the border. During the 8 months we spent waiting in Mexico, co...ntact with the attorneys was minimal. The consultation kept getting postponed. A detailed consultation was given only a week before crossing the border — we were assured there would be no detention and that we didn’t need to prepare for such a scenario. Yet all immigrant groups were saying the opposite. In the end, both of us were detained and placed in immigration detention, where we went through fear interviews. We were unable to reach the attorneys during the first two weeks — they didn’t respond to calls or messages from our relatives. When we finally made contact, we were told that the firm does not provide assistance in such situations and that the ENTIRE team was going on vacation at once. Support was cut off, and a refund was denied. As a result, we were left without legal help at the most critical moment. Similar situations happened to other clients of this firm. We are deeply disappointed and strongly advise you to avoid Marina and this company.

I had the oppourtunity to collaborate with Marina Shepelsky on two cases, as an attorney in California, and I am grateful for the positive results we obtained. Marnia is kind and responsive and an excellent lawyer. Her office staff is efficient and organized. I respect her very much as an expert ...in the field of immigration and look forward to collaborating with her more.

Очень дорого

Может и сама Марина хорошая адвокат , ну после консультации вы её не увидите и попадаети на паралегалов и начинается полный треш ваши дела ведут недавно вставшими паралегали и за это вы заплатити огромную сумму . Каждый раз с вас будут драть деньги . И не надейтесь проста так ...попасть в офис они вас не пустят скажут без апойтмента нельзя итак будут крутить и вертеть.

This office just takes money!

I started my case with them 3 years ago. They didn’t send all evidences to uscis and afterwards they demand payment again to correct THEIR MISTAKES! Unbelievable that some people still write good reviews for them! Hopefully Carma will reach each of them one by one in that office!!!!
