Terrible experiences

Stay away!!! If you do not want to lose your time and money!!! I want to share my experience with Anna! She will be nice to you until you pay her! She will rent a good large office in one or two hours to rip you dust and make an impression! And once you paid you it is not interesting! She has... very little work experience, she is NOT COMPETENT! If you still made a mistake and made a contract with her, check everything yourself to the smallest detail!!! In the process of my work with her, I had questions about my case! And I always got one answer: I'm very busy asking your question via SMS! WHAT??? SMS??? What kind of lawyer is this with whom you communicate on sms ???? To the question she will respond very dryly and concisely (as if she has read my question she is looking for an answer on the Internet, and after she finds the necessary article answers)!!! VERY VERY VERY NOT COMPLETE Once my question (only in my case) she answered: my consultation costs $ 200 WHAT ???? I pay you a lot of money and do not get answers to my questions!!! why??? That's why I and my family lost a lot of money and three years of time !!! Only because she did not prepare the documents correctly, independently made changes without informing me!!! I do not understand why such a terrible lawyer has good reviews? I consider them not real, written by friends or acquaintances!!! Stay away from this lawyer Choose professionals

Replied last May 12, 2017

I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with my services. You hired me for Consular Processing, which is what our retainer expressly states, and we also discussed that there might be a possibility that your wife could visit you temporarily during this process, but she would need to go back to her country for the interview; we also discussed that if Visa Bulletin allows, there *may* be an opportunity to change to adjustment of status, although that was unlikely. You changed your mind and decided that your wife would not leave the US, overstaying her visa. I explained to you during our multiple phone conversations that her overstay would make her ineligible for receive her greencard, unless you become a US citizen. I asked you many times not to send me any questions via text messages, and that emailing me the questions would be the best, as you can always review my answers at any time later. You ignored all these requests. You showed up to a meeting with me drunk! You wanted to get information about something that had nothing to do with our retainer, so I told you that providing extra services would cost you extra money. Yes, it is in our retainer as well. I wish you and your family the best of luck!

Very conscientious, patient, truly cares about the client's needs

Anna helped us though immigration process and made it incredibly easy for us. She was very helpful, knowledgable, patiently explained every little thing what we didn't understand, she could meet us even though our crazy schedule requests. She promptly prepared us for the green card interview and made... us feel comfortable on the "big day", and because of her preparations it went way easier than we could ever imagine. We are both very grateful that we chose her as our attorney. We would highly recommend her and would hire her again without hesitation.

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.
