Professional and grest person

We are artists that traveled all the US west coast looking for the best sponsor for our P3 visa. Then with the sponsor fixed we couldn't find any lawyer that would give us trust and professionalism, until we met Larisa after a month of search. She was extremely personal and professional. Always givin...g more than what we expected but from a very honest place. We finally did our P3 with her and it was only matter of a few months everything was done. People started asking who was our lawyer and after giving them her contact, they would call us back saying "wow how did you find her, thank you". We are so happy Larisa is our lawyer.

Very professional, diligent and competent

Larisa is very professional, knowledgeable and efficient in her field. It has been a real pleasure of working with her on filing my NIW Petition as a scientist. This is a rather difficult process which requires deep knowledge of the subject, the U.S. immigration policy as well as the entire immigrati...on process. She was very diligent in preparing the Petition and was paying attention to every detail. She was also very responsive to my requests and maintained an extremely serious approach to any issue in my case. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. I would highly recommend her services. Again, it was a real pleasure working with 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!

An Excellent Immigration Lawyer

I hired Larisa for my Green Card application. She is an excellent Lawyer. It was very stress free to work with her, which you could never imagine in an immigration case. Fee was very reasonable. She was always available to consult. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs assistance in immigration... case.

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.
