The best immigration lawyer you can find in Florida. My son was living in the UK was born in Jamaica she got him to migrate to Florida straight from the UK without going back to Jamaica.

Never again!

There are absolutely no words to describe how bad our experience has been dealing with Inna Shapovalov. After all the money was paid off, it was extremely difficult to get a hold of her. No emails, no phones nothing will ever get her to call you back no matter how urgent the situation might be, s...he will not call you back!!! She has a keen sense for not paying any attention to details. She misses out important facts and then says "oh, I am sorry, I should have added that"..... I would strongly recommend anyone who wants a lawyer to do their research before they hire some one like her to represent themselves , as at the end of the day we got the feeling that she did not give a F*** about us as long as she got her money. She does not provide details of the records, progress reports, etc. Highly incompetent!

Just hire someone else

Just save time and a lot of money and hire a good attorney,remember that the Florida bar does not for example record or make public when a client of an attorney has contacted them to complain about an attorneys behaviour or when they have had to write to an attorney regarding a complaint it is only w...hen the Florida Bar find in favour of the client and censure the attorney is the findings of the Bar put on record and folks in Florida censuring (they cannot fine) even them most egregious attorney is rare just check the Internet for yourself and you will find many (allegedly) totally incompetent attorneys are still practising in this state. Contrary to one reviewer Inna Shapovalov cannot persuade the INS to give you a green card!! especially if you have a bad immigration record. Given the high unemployment rates even getting labour certification is very difficult and can take a long time and given that it can take a long time you need to get all your applications completed by a competent attorney unfortunately competent is not a word I would use to describe Inna Shapovalov
