Professional and responsible

In many cases the outcome of the case depends greatly on the professional that you work with. For us that was the case. Because of the professionalism of Larisa Tenberg and her assistant Ruslana the outcome of our case was positive and we got it much faster than expected. They are real professionals,... the kind that is hard to find in any field. They are always in touch, ready to meet and discuss any questions or concerns. Having vast experience and practice of law Larisa always told us about the real chances of the positive outcome for us and suggested multiple solution options. Each option was worked through separately, even pedantically that told us about the attitude of these great professionals to their work. We could feel that despite all the complexity and stress of this job Larisa and Ruslana love what they are doing and do their job very responsibly. We are greatful to Larisa Tenberg and can recommend her to anyone who needs a legal help in immigration law.

Highly professional immigration attorney

Larisa Tenberg has been my attorney in green card application. My case was not the simplest one because of limited time and necessity of changing immigration category when the whole case had been ready for filing. She helped me a lot with preparation of documents that fitted my case and responded qui...ckly by phone or email to all questions I had. She thoroughly prepared me to my interview in the immigration department, and during the interview I felt a great support from her. Larisa Tenberg has also helped me with resolving some questions not related to the case; however, she gave me excellent professional advices for which I am really grateful. I also have to mention her office's staff who helped me a lot. Looking back to Larisa Tenberg's work on my case, I can say that I always got all help, attention, and care from her, even tips regarding tiny issues. I would highly recommend Larisa Tenberg to people seeking an attorney in immigration cases.

Excellent humane immigration attorney

I have had the pleasure of contracting Larisa for my employment based immigration application after a negative experience with another attorney (the later - over 3 years wasted, not even counting all the money we paid), but Larisa was professional and supportive and very personable in the process. Sh...e is very knowledgeable as an attorney and have helped me successfully navigate a few other complications that my case had to encounter. I would definitely recommend anyone thinking about employment or investment based immigration, contracting Larisa.

professional and courteous legal support

Larisa provided a thorough support throughout my process of acquiring the status of political asylee. She provided free consultation on what kind of documents are required for application and responded to all my questions. Her fee was quite moderate in comparison with other immigrant lawyers. Larisa ...helped me write my statement for immigration officer and prepare other documents. When interview was scheduled Larisa prepared me to answer most important questions and was always there via phone or email to answer questions that I came up with after our training. As a result I was more confident during the interview with immigration officer and my case was successful. I would highly recommend her.

Realistic, encouraging, efficient

Apart from the professional grasp in understanding and defining an immigration situation which becomes obvious from the very first conversation, Larisa Tenberg's attorney qualities include vast knowledge, consistency and strength in walking her client through the entire process. One of the rare thing...s, which Larisa Tenberg is fully endowed with as a high professional, is her ability to present the case to the client in all its facets realistically, cutting off the unnecessary illusions, while, at the same time, encouraging to succeed. An excellent choice for those who seek immigration issues solutions!

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.
