This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY ! WONDERFUL PERSON !

Mr. Afanassiev "fixed" my sister's and mine immigration status. First time I met him I was desperate! My sister had been deported and I can give you a list of attorneys in Houston that just took my money and messed even more the situation. Mr. Afanassiev came with a solution that any other attorney... had told me before. My sister's situation was reverted and she was able to recover her visa. He also helped me to get my GC and my citizenship ! My family and I will never have enough words of thanks...GREAT ATTORNEY !

Family Lawyer

He has been a blessing to me and my family. He assisted my sister back in 2006. He then assisted me in 2008 with my case. My case was more complicated but he worked hard and we were able to get my residency card. Finally in 2012 I became a U.S. citizen thanks to him!! That same year he also helped my... parents...he pushed the paperwork through and they are now permanent residents. We couldn't have done it without him and the support of his staff. I believe he truly understands immigrants because he is one himself. Being a Russian native working and permanently living here gives him a better insight to all the struggles we (immigrants) go through. My and I have gone through other lawyers and all of them made promises and all of them fail. I am grateful we found him through another family friend :)

awesome, a human being for real! have never found an attorney like him!

He did a great job for me when I was on student visa. What is very special about him is doing an excellent job for his clients and put their well being 1st. I had tried other firms who charged me to sky and did a poor job which cost me a lot and yet, I had to pay for those jerks!

The Most Unethical Lawyer person can retain

Hello, To person whomever is reading this, I would like to share my story with you, Alexandre I. Afanassiev is a worst immigration lawyer a immigrant can retain. I retained Mr. Alexandre I Afanassiev for appeal services while I was fighting deportation if I were ever to be detained for him to fil...e an appeal and he had written something else in the contract. like many I did not have all the time in the world becasue I was fighting deportation but this lawyer had dont absolutely nothing for 10 full entire months where he just decides to prepare some doucment for me to go file with ICE where he as a professional lawyer knew that I would get arrested and be put on a plane back to Canada. I repeat Alexandre I Afanassiev knew that his client would get arrested but still he had prepared something at the last minute where he did not have to but just he did becasue some services could occur and he could get paid but he never advised me that I would get arrested to file the document that he had prepared. As any lawyer Alexandre I Afanassiev should have protected his client. But just for money Alexandre I Afanassiev decides to prepare a document which was not nessessary to prepare anything at the last minute. I want to world to read my story which resulted of me being deported from USA the country I loved and losing 20 years of what I had build.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
