**Extremely disappointed with my experience working with Inna Shapovalov.** During the initial discussions about payment and while making payments, communication with Inna was fairly responsive. The payment was made in installments, and every time payment was discussed, she was available and respo...nsive. However, after the payment was made, the situation changed completely. It became almost impossible to contact her. She stopped responding to messages, and it was impossible to reach her by phone. We sometimes had to wait weeks for a response. This was especially concerning because there were significant changes in U.S. immigration law during this period, and we needed to understand what was happening with our case and what actions needed to be taken. Despite numerous attempts to contact the attorney, we were unable to receive proper communication or clear information about the status of our case. Eventually, I decided to terminate the representation and requested a refund. After that, Inna claimed that she had allegedly completed a significant amount of legal work and used that as the basis for determining the fee she considered earned. The amount she claimed for the alleged work was **approximately twice the amount she had actually received from me for that period**. I strongly disagree with this assessment. **All of the necessary documents and case materials had already been fully prepared by another attorney who had previously worked on preparing our case for Master Calendar proceedings. Those materials were simply provided to Inna Shapovalov in essentially completed form.** Moreover, **our case was never discussed with Inna Shapovalov — not even once.** We never had a substantive discussion with her about the circumstances of the case, legal strategy, further actions, or any significant changes to the materials. Essentially, she received a package of documents that had already been fully prepared by another attorney. At the time I terminated the representation, there were still approximately four years before the anticipated court stage. Therefore, I simply do not understand how such a significant amount of allegedly completed legal work was determined. **I categorically do not recommend Inna Shapovalov and would not recommend her to anyone.** My personal experience was extremely negative: after receiving payment, communication virtually stopped, responses to messages could take weeks, and when I attempted to terminate the representation, a dispute arose regarding the amount of work she allegedly performed. Given my experience and the existence of other negative reviews concerning communication issues, I intend to file a complaint with **The Florida Bar** so that the appropriate authorities can evaluate the situation. If you are currently working with Inna Shapovalov and have experienced a similar situation, I invite you to contact me by email at **[denisboiko1983@gmail.com](mailto:denisboiko1983@gmail.com)**. It may be useful for us to exchange our experiences and, if the circumstances warrant it, consider submitting complaints to **The Florida Bar** together.

I hired this attorney for my immigration case and paid significant legal and filing fees. At first communication was normal, but later it became almost impossible to reach her. Calls and messages were ignored for long periods of time, and I could not get clear answers about what was happening with my... case. After many months, I still had no receipt number, no clear updates, and no documentation showing progress on my petition. Eventually I had to file FOIA requests and complaints just to understand what was going on. Very stressful and disappointing experience overall. I would not recommend based on my personal experience.

I wont receommend her she got paid upfront for her services after that we called and called never no response. We had to change our number for her to respond. Then she sent us someone else filing for us to send the paper work. Then after that she filed a year later then cost us to be denied with the ...wrong instructions from her, then we found out she didnt send in the right documents. I wont recommend her at all for no case.
