I am a client of Julia

I had contacted so many lawyers for my K1 fiancé case, they couldn’t deliver like Mrs Julia Sverdloff did she’s an excellent lawyer took our case my husband was approved for the k1, less than a year. he is here in U.S. we married. Now we are waiting for interview for our green card . I am not just sa...ying that just to give an review she is the best lawyer, so loving, patient, caring and very knowledgeable. For instance even on weekends she would create time to answer any questions you may have. That’s why I referred my friend to her for her case. You will not be disappointed of service and her staff to very respectful. If I could give 10 stars I would. And I did not get or received any discount for posting that. I am speaking from my heart. They will help you from start to finish. Thank you Mrs Julia . Please don’t change

Highly recommended

My first attorney passed away (May god bless her soul) and I was left to find another attorney to represent my pending case. After looking for many attorneys on Avvo, i hired attorney Julia to represent our case which was pending for more than 5 years. She was a REAL help, not only in representing my... case but also pushing the case and within a few months we received interview letter. She prepared us for interview like no other attorney has ever done. She is smart, professional and tough, and trust me when you want someone to represent you.... you need a tough attorney like julia on your side. I just got the approval a week ago and we are so happy and thankful to Julia.

Best experience ever!

I’ve hired Julia in April last year to help me prepare my marriage based green card application. From start Julia has proven herself to be an amazing and highly experienced attorney. She managed to complete my AOS package in just a month and we were ready to apply. While in the process the support I’...ve received from the whole team was extraordinary! Every notice that arrived was thoroughly explained and handled with such prompt response. I would also like to include Dan who assisted in the whole process and was basically there for me 24/7! I can’t remember one time I would text and not get a response within an hour which is extremely important when already dealing with something so stressful as an immigration process. One of the most crucial elements of this process was the prep we had with Julia just a few days before the interview, where I was able to ask anything I was concerned about. In just under 11 months we had our interview which was the smoothest thing out of the whole ordeal. We walked in the room confident because we knew we were prepared, we knew we hired the best. At the interview Julia once again showed how well she knew our case by advocating for us in a moment when it was needed. Even tho this is not a game, Julia is a serious player, but rest assured once you start, she will make sure you finish.

Excellent lawyer and a great person

We liked the fact that she told the price right away on the phone. Others wanted to say this only in a paid consultation. Julia met us immediately and free of charge. It was a pleasure to work with her during about 2 years. She prepared us perfectly for the interview. She also did other documents for... us. She's the best lawyer we've ever known. And most importantly, she is a very pleasant person to talk to.

"I asked Julia to help with a case where my client was in danger of losing his business. The importance of having an attorney who sees "the big picture" cannot be overstated. That includes having a sense for when (or when not) to settle, tax implications and the post-judgment process. Knowledge like that only comes from experience, which Julia brings to the table. I feel comfortable referring a client to Julia anytime."
