The lawyer who makes your life easier.

Elena Denevich is a person who really takes care about her clients. Her consultations are crystal understandable, all the paper routine she takes for herself. Elena always find a time to response for your call or e-mail (within 24 hours, in my practice), she is a nice woman and professionally skilled lawyer. After I meet with DENEVICH & ASSOCIATES, PC, I feel myself more protected in this rush world. Thank you Elena, and good luck.

Excellent

Posted by

I liked Elena because she was very honest about reality of my case. I had many problems because I did my paperwork by myself, than a paralegal "helped" me. I even managed to get my green card, but it was canceled eventually and I was sent to immigration court. Big mess and almost 10 years of my life. Elena sorted out it for me. I finally got my green card in the right way. Thank you
