Very pleased we hired her

My wife and I had some minor difficulties regarding her green card interviews over the course of 3 and a half years. Our previous attorney had made some unprofessional errors causing our interview to be postponed. After searching through reviews on avvo.com, we found Sofia, and a new interview was sc...heduled just weeks after hiring her. All our affairs and documents were put together, and my wife's immigration card was approved pretty much immediately.

Green card interview

there are not enough stars in the entire universe to denote the professionalism of the lawyer Sofia Avilova! from the first minutes to the last, my husband and I interview on the green card was in good hands, and the result was not long in coming, at the end of the interview we were informed that my... green card was approved !! I want to note that this was our third interview, for some reason after the first we were assigned a second one a year later, and after the non-professional work of our first lawyer, the second interview was postponed! so I want to give good advice for someone who is currently looking for a good lawyer who really knows his business: - do not waste your time, nerves and money on other lawyers (tested on my own unfortunate experience) feel free to contact Sofia and sleep peacefully - your cases are reliable hands !!! Thank you Sofia for the opportunity for our little family to exist.

Best attorney in Chicago area

Sofia was the person behind my successful case. She was extremely helpful in every single step, and she went above and beyond to help me with everything what I needed. The way she cares for her client is what sets her apart from other lawyers. She is very detail-oriented and careful about each of her... actions. She went on helping with stuffs where she was not even obligated to help with as a lawyer. Apart from her dedication and commitment to her profession, she’s also got a great personality which makes it very easy to get along with her. Will definitely recommend her to anyone as she will fight for you as if she does it for her own family!

Very professional and great atterney

I hired Sofia two years ago for an immigration case. She made almost impossible possible. Sofia filed all of my papers, went through the interview process with me, and importantly supported and always kept me up to date on my case. Now a few weeks ago, I received an approval on my case. She is a very... knowledgeable, detail-oriented, honest, and hard working lawyer. You can always reach her through email or phone. I would highly recommend Sofia Avilova to anyone seeking legal representation; she is the best in her field.

Thank you for your obligation

I hired Sofia to file an appeal for my citizenship case after three rejections from the Immigration office over the past eight years. She handled the case very well and wrote an amazing brief that the officer had to say YES. If it was up to me I will give Sofia ten stars.
