The best immigration specialist ever!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalia Polukhtin on immigration-related matters, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Natalia is a professional in every sense of the word — knowledgeable, strategic, and deeply experienced. But what truly sets her apart is not just her expert...ise, but the incredible human support she offers throughout the process. Her entire office is efficient, responsive, and kind — not once did we feel lost or ignored. Every call, every email was answered in a timely and thoughtful way. It’s rare to find that level of consistency in legal services. And beyond all the documents and filings, what helped us the most was Natalia’s emotional support during the most uncertain moments. She reassured us, gave us hope when we were overwhelmed, and helped us trust in ourselves and the process again. That kind of support is priceless. We’re incredibly grateful to Natalia and her team, and will be recommending her to all of our friends, and to anyone in need of immigration help. You’re in excellent hands.

Highly Recommend for Immigration Cases

I cannot say enough good things about Natalia and her exceptional work on our immigration case. From the very start, she demonstrated incredible competence, professionalism, and a deep understanding of immigration law. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were evident in every step of the p...rocess. One of the things that stood out the most was her availability and responsiveness. Natalia was always just a call or email away, ready to answer questions, address concerns, or provide updates. Her clear communication and calm demeanor made a stressful process so much easier to navigate. Her dedication and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart and worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for us. Thanks to Natalia, we successfully completed our case, and we could not be more grateful. If you're looking for an immigration attorney who is knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive, look no further. Highly recommend!

high professional caliber

We were very lucky to find such a super professional lawyer. As soon as we decided to participate in the investment program, we immediately started working with Natalia and her team. Throughout the entire process of preparing the documents, we had countless questions, to which we quickly received ...clear explanations. The process of preparing the document package was clear, simple and stress-free. We have received approval for our immigrant visa petition. And now with Natalia's help we are ready for the interview and are confident that we will get all the documents quickly and easily. It is especially important to note: - high level of professionalism - attention to details - taking into account changing circumstances of clients - support and assistance in various other issues requiring legal help - reliability in the frequency and duration of consultations and full immersion in the issue - valuable advice that helped to quickly obtain the necessary documents and avoid problems. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Natalia Polukhtin and her team for the competent and professional assistance she provided. Special thanks for her human participation and interest in achieving results. We have already asked Natalia to be our family lawyer for many years to come.

rejoining of our family in United States

Natalia is not only professional lawyer but also very kind and loyal person. Once she takes your case she never leaves it until she solves your problem. My dad had a very uncommon and difficult case and it took 4 and have year for him to rejoin our family in the USA. All this time Natalia and her off...ice stayed with us. We will never forget their help. You are the best!

Fantastic help with EB-5 visa

Искренне от всей семьи благодарим Наталью и её коллег за помощь в одобрении нашей петиции I-526. Изначально петицию готовил другой адвокат. После нескольких лет ожидания решения мы получили RFE (запрос дополнительных сведений) и поняли, что наша петиция, подготовленная всего на 70-ти страницах, не вы...держивает никакой критики. И это было везением, что мы получили RFE, а не отказ! В тот момент мы связались с Натальей и изложили ей нашу ситуацию. Наталья взялась за наш кейс практически заново и подготовленный ответ на RFE оказался в 10 раз больше первоначальной петиции – 700 страниц! Именно такого объема документации требовал наш кейс, который в конечном итоге и был одобрен. В процессе подготовки ответа было очень приятно коммуницировать с Натальей и её коллегами. Профессионализм и эмпатия – их основные качества. У Натальи по каждому кейсу есть стратегия, выработанная исходя из ситуации клиента, а главное, есть понимание, как эту ситуацию увидит офицер USCIS. Это вселяет оптимизм и дает уверенность в то, что решение будет положительным. Нас также очень впечатлило с какой добросовестностью, ответственностью и педантичностью Наталья и её коллеги работают над кейсами клиентов. Работают на результат, а не ради процесса. Мы продолжим наш дальнейший иммиграционный путь в США, за который мы теперь спокойны, вместе с Натальей и только с Натальей!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
