Horrible Service

Please do not waste your time or money going here! Elena Kareneva does not care about her clients. She messed up on my father’s immigration case and rather than being transparent and fixing her mistake, she began avoiding meeting with us. She kept telling my family to wait to get a response from immi...gration - an entire year went by and my father did not even receive a work permit. During this time, she actively avoided contacting with us or even answering the phone. We recently switched to another, more qualified lawyer and within a month my father had a work permit. A simple and straightforward case was completely messed up due to Elena Kareneva’s negligence. Not to mention, her staff is incredibly rude and incompetent. Give your time, energy, and money to a lawyer who genuinely cares about their client, not Elena Kareneva.

Not a good lawyer

Horrible service, they will not take you seriously. I repeatedly contacted and called for a follow up appointment and the staff at the front desk would never call back. They are completely dismissive of your concerns and do not care about your case.

Excellent service, she truly cares about her clients and walks the extra mile for them!

I hired Dr. Kareneva to represent me I’m my adjustment of status case. I had previously consulted several immigrating attorneys and they all told me that I had no solution and should wait for a reform. Dr. Kareneva filed a waiver together with paperwork and obtained an approval for my waiver foe the... 3 year penalty. I will highly recommend her!
