Experienced lawyer who helped me to win with my case

I was recommended to address to Larisa for the help by my friend. From the beginning I was sure I was working with someone who I could rely on. The most I liked is that I had a permanent contact to Larisa whenever I needed by phone, email or facebook. She replied to my requests without delay and pro...mptly the same hour or day. I hadn't doubts I would fail with my case working with her because I understood she is a professional, I saw how she leaded my case, I saw she was confident what she was doing. According to her big number of won cases I had no any anxiety for my one. As for her personal qualities she is amazing woman, kind, well mannered, skillful, easy going, respectful, in one word the person who you can trust in 100%! When I met her in Philadelphia in summer regarding my case she was so kind that she took me and show a few of the city (it was my first time I was in Phili). Well, to summer it up I would highly recommend Larisa as an experienced lawyer to those who are in need of help and want to win their cases.

Best immigration lawyer I had the pleasure to work with!

Larisa is by far the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and personable lawyer I have had the pleasure working with on my naturalization process from beginning to completion over several years. Larisa always took the time to address any concerns and questions and helped me navigate smoothly... through all twists and turns of the process. Larisa has exceptional expertise in her field, and continues to stay abreast most recent developments in US immigration law, making sure her clients can capitalize on all opportunities available to them. I highly recommend her services to you, as I have recommended her to my personal friends, as I know you'll be in good hands!

Integrity and professionalism.

I cannot recommend Ms. Tenberg enough. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and while maintaining extremely serious approach to any issue in my case, she found a way to make it lighter for me, to bring a smile even into a phone conversation, and to know exactly what to say, when to say, ...and how to handle any problem. I heard stories from her current and former clients about her before I hired her, and everyone was praising her immensely. My personal experience couldn't have turned out better - she got me a Green Card! Dealing with her support staff was also very, very easy. She is a great lawyer with a great team. I wish every lawyer was like 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.
