I hired Marina to handle my I751 waiver case, and I wish I went with another lawyer. I never felt like she cared about my case, her main concern being the money she charges her clients. Overall the office/appointment etiquette was poor: on a couple of occasions I would take off work to make it to the... appointment with her (I work far away), - only to get a call mid-way saying that she had to leave the office due to some circumstances. When in office, I had to wait for an hour or so for her to be done with her other appointments. Oftentimes, I would be waiting, while she would take care of her personal matters or plans for the evening. During a couple of my appointments, she would get interrupted by a personal call, or text and she would stop our conversation to respond to it. Her etiquette overall is poor, and I always felt like she is doing me a favor during the appointments, even though I was the one paying for the services. For my case, she did not explain to me all the consequences that could occur if my case was denied. I think she should have done a better job explaining all the pros and cons of my situation to me. Once I got a letter to go to an interview, - again, it took the office about 2 weeks just to set up an appointment with me (the interview was to be in a month), and during that time she rescheduled once on me. When I finally had an appointment with her, she spent with me 30 minutes at most and very high level went over the questions that they may ask during the interview. In my initial contract she cited a certain price that she would eventually charge if I had to go to an interview, - however when we discussed the price a year from then, she cited a much higher rate, explaining it by saying that she needs to study the case (the case that she was very familiar with). I ended up picking a different lawyer last minute, since I was not comfortable she would do a good job representing me.

M.s Shepelsky represented me for both immigration and divorce. I was a victim of domestic violence. She took my case immediately and helped me over a period of 2 years to get my green card. She was always on time with submitting all the documents to the government, did not over charge me, and replie...d to all my emails and calls. She was extremely kind and I recommend her to all individuals waiting for good legal help.

I worked for/with Marina Shepelsky for 2 years and have to say that she is an outstanding Immigration and Matrimonial/Family attorney. Marina is very knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about helping people, which adds a human face to her work. She is extremely successful at resolving the tough...est cases. I highly recommend this attorney.

Marina and her superbly trained staff conducted our case with utmost diligence, in a manner consistent with years of experience, exhaustive knowledge of immigration law. This branch of the law is extremely complicated and rapidly evolving. In particularly complicated situations, it is important to ha...ve an attorney such as Marina. She guided our steps, presenting her vast knowledge with a down-to-earth approach that made us feel welcome and cared for. Truly Excellent attorney!!!
