Fought for my case

I applied for political asylum in America, because I was a very active oppositioner against government of Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus. Larisa supported me in my case and was always available to talk to me. I had a different attorney before I found Larisa and Larisa always answered the phone or ca...lled me back the same day, despite having hundreds of other clients. She explained everything clearly and coached me very well for my interview, so I understood what I needed to prove, was very prepared and calm. I think Larisa is very professional and best immigration attorney, who actually cares about her clients.

Very proficient, professional, and accommodating!

Larisa was great to work with. This was my first O1 visa application and she helped to make the process feel as easy and straightforward as possible. She was easy to get in contact with and was very professional. My employer recommended her to me as they have hired several international employees in ...the past that needed to go through the same process. I would highly recommend her!

Highly competent in immigration field

Mrs. Tenberg represented me on a complicated employment visa case and had demonstrated high degree of expertise in very complex immigration matters. I highly recommend Mrs. Tenberg's services, as you don't want to make any mistakes when it comes to dealing with INS.

Reliable and Knowledgable Immigration Specialist

I have been lucky to continue my case with Larisa Tenberg who made my complicated case more straightforward and provided a successful end result. I wish I had begun my immigration filings with her services earlier because her attention to client details, follow up and experience in the courtroom made... my case succeed. Previously it was just another side case among others when my case was initially filed by another law firm. Large law firms specializing in immigration lack attention to details to regular clients unless you are a top priority because of a fat wallet. I am very happy to work with Larisa Tenberg again in the future and highly recommend her services!

An Excellent Lawyer!

I have recently used attorney Larisa’s services. She has helped me to apply for political asylum. I had a complicated case. She has helped me all the way through. It was very important to me that she always responded to my phone calls and addressed my concerns right away. She fought for me in co...urt. She took time to prepare me for my final hearing. I felt prepared and cared for. When you entrust your case to a lawyer, you entrust your future to this person. I’m glad I entrusted my case to Larisa.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
