Tatyana Edwards is a magnificent lawyer. She literally saved my life. I am an immigrant from Uzbekistan. It has been 15 years since I have tried unsuccessfully to get an immigration status. During those years I had several different lawyers who were not able to help me and finally when I lost my hope..., Ms. Edwards was recommended to me. Even though, I live in Hollywood and have access to many immigration lawyers in Los Angeles, after I met with Tatyana, I knew that she was the most qualified to represent my case in Los Angeles Immigration Court. Ms. Edwards dedicated numerous hours to research and to revive my case that was hopelessly lost in the annals of the bureaucratic court system. In the end in November, 2014, Immigration Judge granted my case after three long hearings, where Ms. Edwards provided excellent evidence and made a long summation, convincing the Judge to approve my case. I am very grateful for what Tatyana Edwards has done for me. Even the Immigration judge who was rather tough, noted that only thanks to attorney Tatyana Edwards, I was able to win the case. Ms. Edwards is a sensitive thoughtful person and as a highly professional attorney she was able to choose the most important facts from an incredible amount of information from my personal case history and brilliantly argue them to bring the matter to its natural great success. My case was very difficult because I didn’t have a single document to confirm my story. Over the last two and a half years we went to court several times and finally even the prosecuting government attorney sided with Ms. Edwards’ argument and had no objection to having my case granted. Ms. Edwards and Alice, Tatyana’s loyal and dedicated assistant, I am eternally grateful to you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your quality work and your perseverance. You determined my fate! I am sure there will be many more destinies in your hands. May God bless you and help you in your hard work. Very grateful indeed, Zoya M.

I have come to attorney Tatyana Edwards after having my case mishandled by another attorney in San Diego who claimed to be an expert, but ended up not doing much on my case. I was afraid it would be denied so little was done. Working with Tatyana was completely different. She would spend hours with m...e helping me prepare a stronger case, analyzing the specifics of my case and making valuable suggestions on which documents would be more helpful in having my case granted. I enjoyed working with her and was particularly surprised at how generous she was with her time and tirelessly generating ideas. She was personable, helpful and extremely well organized. She met separately with me on several occasions preparing me thoroughly for the interview. And my case was granted!!! Which of course was not a huge surprise after I saw how much time and effort was spent on it by my attorney. Thank you Tatyana, for being such a highly professional and dedicated attorney. I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family. I cannot thank you enough for helping me to stay in this wonderful county I can now call home. Forever grateful

If these are not the best immigration lawyers in the nation, then who?? I am from Brazil and more than 2 years ago got married to a US citizen and applied for a green card in Las Vegas. With the help of a local “lawyer” I obtained my conditional residence. When time came to file the I-751 remo...val of condition, that lawyer eagerly took my money to “prepare” the application, but when I notified him my wife and I separated, filed for divorce and I needed to file the I-751 alone, he suddenly became unavailable: my phone calls were no longer returned, emails went unanswered and even when I walked into the lawyer’s office unannounced he still managed to avoid me. In the meantime I had to move to California to accept a wonderful job here. It was then that I was introduced to Giacomo and Tatyana, who were highly recommended to me by other fellow Brazilians who had been in the same, or even more desperate situations than I was (immigration court and all…) Giacomo and Tatyana managed to save me from my predicament, by providing me with highly creative ideas on how to assemble my case to achieve the most effective and expeditious result. As a result of their incredible work I recently received my new, 10-year green card in the mail in less than 2 months! And without having been called to an interview, despite having applied for the I-751 alone! This result was so fantastic, that neither myself, nor any of my friends and co-workers could believe it! And yet, this is what characterizes the quality of work that Giacomo and Tatyana consistently produce, and comes as no surprise to all of us who are blessed to count ourselves as their clients. Obrigado, dear Giacomo and Tatyana for caring so much for your clients and being the Best of the Best in the nation!! And, last but not least, many heartfelt congratulations to both of you for successfully passing the state of California Legal Specialization Examination in the area of Immigration and Nationality Law!!

My girlfriend is a graduate student in California. She has been in the states for 3 years and thus has not seen her parents for the same period of time. A few months ago, she got the permission from her adviser to take a vacation and see her parents. However, her F-1 visa expired already. While h...er DS I94/I 20 give her legal status to stay in the states, she is not able to travel with these documents. We went to Mexico to renew her visa, but the consulate decided to run a security clearance on her before they can issue her the visa. At the time, we had the misconception that she can come back to the US to wait for the security clearance. However, at the border, she was denied entrance to the US and subsequently placed under the custody of CBP/ICE. I was informed by the CBP/ICE officers that my girlfriend is subject to the removal proceeding since she tried to enter US without a valid visa. I felt that the punishment was too harsh for the crime, but I didn't know what to do about it. At this time, I found Giacomo Behar on avvos and called him. The case was handled by both Giacomo Behar and Tatyana Edwards. These attorneys were very thorough in getting the case information from me, making sure all accounts are accurately described. For the next two weeks, Giacomo and Tatyana made quite an effort to reach the CBP/ICE officers and updating me whenever they have new findings. Originally, the ICE officers tried to issue an expedite removal on my girlfriend, but Giacomo and Tatyana fought it off and bought us some time. My girlfriend and I wanted to request for voluntary withdraw of request to enter the US, but it seems that the ICE officers aren't being very responsive to our request. A week or so later, the ICE officer tried to perform the expedite removal again. This time, the officer seems to be pretty determined and unwilling to make compromises. Just when I thought that all causes are lost, Giacomo and Tatyana were able to reach their contacts in the ICE and touched them with our story. Now, instead of being deported, my girlfriend is given the opportunity to see an immigration judge. The best part of it being that she was paroled out of the detention facility without a bond. This was truly a miracle, and we owe much thanks to Giacomo Behar and Tatyana Edwards.

Over the years, I've spoken to many different immigration attorneys and Tatyana Edwards was the only person who answered all of my questions during the initial consultation, gave me lots of valuable information and tried to help me in any way she could. I can't stress enough how experienced, talented..., professional and helpful Tatyana is and how grateful I am. If you have any immigration issues or questions, simply give them a call and you'll find out yourself! I'd definitely use her services again and, just so you know, she's also helped some of my friends who are now citizens or residents and she might not even start your case if she feels it would be a waste of your money. Tatyana is a very honest person you can trust and she definitely knows what she's doing! Thank you so much for everything! I just wish there were more people like her in this world!
