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.

I will highly recommend Sofia as an immigration attorney to anyone. She is knowledgeable, professional, easy to get a hold of when you need too, and was beside us through the whole journey. Sofia shows great interest in all her cases, and we couldn’t have picked a better attorney to walk us through t...his process!

in time support

I approached Attorney Sofia through a close friend of mine for a property case related to violations. Though she is primarily an immigration lawyer but she did take the case because we have only one day to respond. I greatly appreciate her for handling the case in time. She advised us to collect evi...dences as well to fix the vital things. She always responded to calls and was in the court to represent us. The case was in our favor and was dismissed. great job Attorney sofia

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.
