The best Immigration lawyer

I am glad to share my positive experience with my immigration lawyer Elena Denevich. She not only took on my complex case, but also achieved great results in a short time. Now I have a work permit and ssn and I have the necessary documents that affect my immigration path. I strongly recommend the ser...vices of lawyer Elena Denevich to everyone who is starting their journey of legalization in this country. I repeat, I had a complex case and many of the lawyers with whom I consulted (there were more than 10 of them) refused to take on my case and all the deadlines were already missed due to the fault of the unscrupulous “lawyer”. I was completely confused and accidentally found out about Elena Denevich. How glad I am that I trusted this lawyer when I came for a consultation and did not make a mistake in my choice. Thank you very much to Elena Denevich, her team and two assistants and Elena for everything! She is a true professional in her field. They were so friendly and patient with me, with my numerous questions and calls on every issue. I express my deep gratitude!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
