Smooth Estate Planning Preparation

We hired Irene for creating Estate Plan for our family. From first interaction with her paralegal to scheduling, everything was very professional. Irene explained everything in detail what trust do we need and how it is different from probate, etc.. I had a lot of questions and she was super patient... to answer all of them in detail. After she prepared our documents, we reviewed them, I had a few changes. I was super impressed in the amount of details that went to our trust and other documents that we needed. She recommended a Notary, who was also very knowledgeable. Overall we are happy with professional services provided by Irene's office and happy to recommend her office to our friends and family. Thank you!

Misinformed and poor representation

I had the worst experience working with Irene through my divorce. I felt like I spent an inordinate amount of money just for her to sign and file paperwork. I never felt truly represented by her when it came to financial and custody matters. In the end, she did not fight for equal or even fair custod...y and seemed unconcerned about what I wanted to achieve. In addition, she said my child support payments would be deductible, which I just found out are not. I would expect a family lawyer to know this information prior to sharing it with their client.

This client was represented diligently and appropriately as is the case with all of our clients. It is unfortunate that due to ethics rules, our office is unable to offer any additional details about this case. We are wishing this client the best.

Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

During our difficult financial times, we pretty much run out of all the possible options. Last option was bankruptcy and it was very difficult to decide on that and to understand what it is all about. It only took 30min with our consultation with Irina, that we really understood what all those ch...apters are about and understood our options. Before that chapter 7 or 13 were just numbers. Finally it was more clear what we can keep in bankruptcy solution and what we can't. Irina was very patient and made sure we have all of our questions answered before we went to next step. She also gave us materials to read at home. Once we decided to go for it. Ms. Puhachevsky sent us an online form, that was easy to fill out... from their she took care of everything. At court or any meetings we were explained every step. Once again Thank you very Much!!!! Irina is very professional, experienced and understanding attorney.
