EB-1

I am very satisfied with Larisa’s work on my immigration petition. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism, strong attention to detail, and excellent organization throughout the entire process. All deadlines were met, the scope of work fully matched our initial agreement, and there were no ...unexpected or additional fees. Communication was clear, timely, and very respectful. Larisa was always patient with my questions and took the time to address my concerns thoroughly. I highly value her reliability, transparency, and thoughtful approach. I would gladly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced and ethical immigration attorney.

She is the best!

I am extremely grateful to immigration attorney Larisa Tenberg for her outstanding professionalism and dedication. Throughout the entire process, Tenberg was clear, honest, and always available to answer my questions. She explained every step in detail and made a very stressful situation much eas...ier to handle. Her experience and confidence gave me complete peace of mind. Thanks to her thorough preparation and strong legal support, my case was successfully approved by the immigration court. Everything was handled in a timely and well-organized manner. I highly recommend Larisa Tenberg to anyone in need of a trusted, experienced, and compassionate immigration attorney. She truly cares about her clients and their outcomes.

Asylum court

I highly recommend this lawyer. Trial preparation, assistance with documents, everything was high-level. My case was very difficult. I had a new judge, and the prosecutor was replaced an hour before the hearing. Larisa did everything she could to get approval. As a result, I received approval within... two days. I highly recommend her.

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.
