The best lawyer

We hired Sofia years ago for an immigration case and she handled it perfectly! This time we hired her for a real estate closing and we could not be happier. She worked very well. She reviewed documents carefully and because of that saved us over $1500 in tax proration. I highly recommend her!

Sofia Avilova reunited our family!

Long story short: In some circumstances, we had to leave our daughter back in our country when she was two years old. When we immigrated to the US we immediately realized that we desperately need our child to be here with us. First, we hired a lawyer, who promised a lot but didn`t do anything to hel...p and we lost the most crucial 6 months of our time and money with no result. All other lawyers we spoke to, were giving us 10+ years of waiting time to bring our child. Then, thank God, we met Sofia Avilova. She took our case, she was easy to reach and talk to, with the highest professional attitude we have ever seen. 2(!) years later our daughter`s small feet have touched the Land of Lincoln, making us the happiest parents in the world. And we understand that this miracle happened as a result of Sofia Avilova thorough work. She is always our #1 immigration lawyer to any of our friends or to people who contacting us and seeking a lawyer to help solve issues or protect in immigration law. Again and always - Thank you to our lawyer Sofia Avilova for reuniting our family.

Excellent immigration lawyer

My student visa was terminated and I was urgent need of legal advise. My friend asked me to meet Attorney Sofia. Ms Avilova listened to my case very carefully and patiently. She guided me in the right direction, asked me to gather the required documents, communicated with my school and answered all m...y questions. She is knowledgeable and honest. She responded to all the phone calls.Throughout the process she took care to inform me about the developments. She was wise and honest in responding to the 'request for evidence'. I give her full credit for the reinstatement of my 'Student Visa'. Her fees was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Attorney Sofia Avilova for any immigration purpose.
