So thankful

After calling numerous attorneys with little enthusiasm about my case and only their fees, I came across reviews for this firm and booked in for a consultation. The call was informative and very positive and i did not hesitate to put my trust in their hands. The legal assistant was very helpful an...d thorough when submitting the paperwork. A lengthy process but all in all worth getting worth from the start to avoid future delays. My wife and I met Sasha a week before the interview and were met with a welcoming, bright woman who knew our case inside and out. We came away from the meeting fully prepared and confident in the outcome.

An expert in her field! Fearless, aggreasive and knowledgeable

Sasha helped me get my denied K1 Visa approved when most other attorneys I spoke with informed me it was a waste of time. She listened and took on the case. She got the visa approved from the foreign Embassy and issued within 6 months. Highly recommend!

Excellent Attorney.

Sasha is a expert in immigration law. We first consulted with her before the Supreme Court struck down DOMA, and as a bi-national same sex couple, we were really nervous about our situation and the limited options we felt we had at that time. Sasha not only gave us a complete run-down of where the la...w was at, and what options we should consider, but she was also sympathetic and demonstrated a thorough knowledge of immigration issues faced particularly by LGBT people. When DOMA was struck down, Sasha was our first call, and within a short period of time she had our paperwork out, and then braved a -12 degree Chicago January to be with us at our interview! Throughout the process, Sasha kept us informed, always took our calls, and gave us an honest and comprehensive assessment of our situation. We would highly recommend her to any couple needing immigration advice or help!

"I endorse this lawyer. Endorsing this lawyer is an easy task and it's not only because she is Board Certified by the Bar in immigration. More importantly, Sasha is very passionate, heavily involved, and always passionate about her Clients and immigration law in general. The nature of immigration law is that it is a protean area of the law due to fact it touches many areas of law: State/Federal/Admin. (both state and federal)/ and its own particular substantive area of law. Sasha who has an ubiquitous online presence is ideal for this practice as she is always up to date and ready to go."

"Sasha is an excellent immigration attorney with vast experience in the areas of family immigration, deportation proceedings, and work visas. She specializes in same-sex marriage green card cases and is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the U.S. in regard to LGBT immigration matters. I have collaborated with Sasha on many cases--from marriage-based green cards to asylum to L-1 work visas and she has handled all matters impeccably. Sasha is extremely trustworthy and ethical and very responsive and attentive to all her clients. She truly is a rising star in the field of immigration law and I would highly recommend her services."
