They go above and beyond with both expertise and genuine support

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Arvian Law Firm and the entire team for their invaluable support in handling my documents. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made this journey smooth and easy to navigate. What I value most is that behind every consultation... and recommendation, I felt not only your legal expertise but also true dedication, empathy, and a sincere desire to see everything through to the very end. It is rare to meet professionals who put so much heart into their work — and I am truly grateful to have found you

EB-2 NIW case

We had a great experience with Arvian Law Firm LLC on our EB-2 NIW case. After receiving an RFE, their team guided us through the response with professionalism and care. Thanks to their support, our I-140 was approved. Highly recommend them for anyone going through the NIW process.

Won the political asylum case

esterday, we won our political asylum case in immigration court! Thank you, Vitaly Maliuk and his Team! For a long time, I couldn't find a law firm I could trust. It was pure hell. I was searching for a lawyer, and at the same time, trying to figure out how to file various legal forms and document...s that I really didn't want to deal with. Somewhere on Telegram, I found Vitaly Maliuk's advertisement. I called them. I immediately liked their principled approach: Kristina asked me to tell my story of persecution first. Before this, other lawyers didn't even ask about it. Since I consider myself a person of principle, this was very important to me. I decided to work with Vitaly and his team, and I haven't regretted it once! I loved that they were always in touch, always polite. Even when my nerves were completely frayed, they were the epitome of composure! They're very legally knowledgeable; there's always someone who can clarify any question. I have only positive emotions left from working with Vitaly's team. Ultimately, thanks to their professional handling of my case, we won the court and received political asylum! Thank you, guys! At all three hearings of our case, Vitaly was professional, calm, confident in himself and in us. In short, everything a great lawyer should be. I'm very glad I didn't make a mistake in choosing my lawyer. It's hard to describe in words how difficult those two years of waiting, sleepless nights, and worries were. But it all worked out, thanks to Vitaly's team! Thank you so much once again!

Thank you to the Arvian team and personally to Vitaliy Malyuk

We turned to the Arvian law firm with a political asylum case and would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire team — and especially to our attorney, Vitaliy Malyuk. From the very beginning, it was extremely important for us to find a Russian-speaking specialist — not only for ease of ...communication, but also to be confident in the accuracy, reliability, and professionalism throughout the process. Choosing a lawyer is always a serious and responsible decision, especially when it comes to such sensitive and life-changing matters. We were truly hoping to find not just a legal representative, but someone we could genuinely rely on. And Vitaliy exceeded all of our expectations. He proved to be a highly skilled, attentive, and trustworthy professional, deeply committed to his work. Vitaliy helped us prepare all the necessary documents accurately and without any errors, clearly explained each step of the process, stayed in touch at all times, and responded to every question with patience and care. We would also like to express our appreciation to his team — the administrators and support staff — who worked efficiently and kept us informed every step of the way. All filings were done on time, and we always felt that we were in good hands. One moment that especially stood out to us was when the judge did not allow Vitaliy to attend the hearing online — and without hesitation, he flew to our city to be present in person. This showed true responsibility and care for his clients, and we are very grateful for that. Thanks to the professional and coordinated work of Vitaliy and the entire Arvian team, our case was successfully approved. We are deeply thankful for the support, the sense of security, and the high-quality legal assistance we received. We can confidently recommend Arvian to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and highly qualified legal support.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had the opportunity to connect with Vitalii through a professional discussion about a case in our field, and I appreciated both his responsiveness and the quality of his analysis. Vitalii’s case strategy was thoughtful and reflected a strong understanding of the issues involved. What especially stood out to me was his ability to think outside the box and make a bold argument that was both creative and well reasoned. Not every attorney is willing to take that approach, and I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and persuasively he developed his position. It was immediately clear to me that he is knowledgeable, analytical, and able to navigate complex issues effectively. It was genuinely a pleasure to interact with him as a colleague, and I am happy to speak highly of him as an attorney. Vitalii is professional, insightful, and clearly dedicated to what he does."
