A lawyer who was and is there for me when nobody else was

Andrei Romanenko has a sharp legal mind and gives straight to the point, no BS advice. Mr. Romanenko is a certified specialist in immigration law, but, apart from immigration, he has unmatched experience in other areas of the law. Mr. Romanenko represented me in a civil case and won! I, and 3 other p...eople, were sued by a vindictive person for what we said in court. Needless to say, being sued was horrible. I knew I needed a lawyer, and one I can trust to solve my problem and not rip me off. When I consulted Mr. Romanenko, he told me right on the spot what motion I needed to file to get the case against me thrown out. Mr. Romanenko filed the right motion from the start and the judge dismissed the lawsuit. This case ended in just 3 months. Not only Mr. Romanenko won my case, we are now going after the plaintiff for attorney fees. The judge already ordered the plaintiff to pay my legal fees. We still have a long way to go in getting the plaintiff to actually pay, but, my point is that Mr. Romanenko fought for me and won. Mr. Romanenko treated me with respect and integrity. Mr. Romanenko is not afraid to tackle anything. If you want a lawyer who knows his stuff, then hire Mr. Romanenko. He is sharp, knowledgeable, straight to the point, and he fights for what's right. He cares about his clients and does not treat them as just a paycheck. Mr. Romanenko took my calls and answered my emails after business hours and on weekends, and, didn't charge me a dime for talking to him. Mr. Romanenko cared about my cause and about restoring justice. I am a lawyer who practices family law and I know this business. There are real lawyers and there are "lawyers." I have yet to see a lawyer who is available to clients after 5 pm and on weekends. With lawyers, you get what you pay for, but, oftentimes, you don't. Hire a sole practitioner, like Mr. Romanenko, who has a wealth of experience and who doesn't nickel and dime his clients. When it comes to matters that can affect your life, go with the right professional. Go with Andrei Romanenko!

Definitely do not recommend

First of all, I would like to start by defining what a lawyer is. A lawyer is a person whose profession is to provide qualified legal assistance to individuals, including the protection of their rights and representation of interests. Having hired Andrei Romanenko there was a feeling that I had hir...ed a prosecutor, there was no talk of protecting the rights and interests of the client. Technically, the documents were prepared and filled out by his secretary with many errors, the work was not done in good faith. And as it turned out later, the final version of the case with amendments was not even checked by the lawyer himself, this is with regard to the documentary component. From the point of view of consultations in the course of the case, it is even worse. The lawyer responded promptly only until the moment of full payment for his services. What followed was a quest. Talking on the phone with a hired lawyer is unrealistic. The call ended in nothing, always answered by his secretary, who, for obvious reasons, is not competent in my matters. To communicate with a lawyer, there was only one option - to write letters to which he answers at best from 2 working days, and at worst, he simply does not answer. The process is not fast. Due to an unscrupulous approach to my duties, due to the lack of a timely response to specific negative factors in the process, unfortunately, my case was on the way to failure and we hired another lawyer with whom we continue our cooperation. Based on my experience, I definitely do not recommend Andrei Romanenko as a migration lawyer. In my case, there are many doubts about the qualifications of a lawyer. Tip: if you still want to work with this lawyer, first talk to him personally, and not by phone, and only then decide whether to work with him or not.

Replied last December 09, 2022

Dear anonymous, when your sister retained our office in May of 2019, you were not happy about the representation of your previous immigration attorney in Santa Ana, California. Our office reviewed the file and did not find any evidence of ineffective assistance in her services. We declined to file an ineffective assistance of counsel complaint against her. Your sister paid for our services in full in June 2019, shortly after our initial consultation. Our office was able to timely file the needed paperwork within days of getting retained, and we even obtained the benefits that she was not expecting to get in the U.S. At least two immigration cases that our office has handled for your sister have been approved. On May 25, 2021, you referred another family member to us. Since June of 2019, you were communicating with our office and with the attorney directly by e-mail. Our records show dozens of e-mails to and from you over the past three years. Attorney personally responded to your e-mails even after hours and on the weekends. Sometimes it took one or two business days to get back to you. Several times you did not receive our response because your icloud e-mail account went over the quota. All of your phone calls were answered by our staff every time you called. Our records show 63 answered calls and 17 missed calls that were returned promptly. We understand your dissatisfaction that attorney did not pick up the phone personally every time you called the office. We have to rely on our supporting staff in answering the phones when the attorney is in court, at a USCIS interview, or in a consultation with another client. We insisted on communicating by e-mail in this particular case for the following reasons. The actual client we represented was your sister, not you. Every time your sister called us, she said she understood what she was being told. But later you would call us back, alleging that your sister did not speak enough English. Then you would ask us to repeat the same things to you all over again. We had to document in writing the advice our office was giving. We had to advise you in writing of the consequences of every available immigration option. Both of you agreed to this condition to communicate by e-mail. In our office attorney personally reviews and signs all of the prepared documents. Not a single document leaves the office without personal review by the attorney. Legal assistants constantly come in to consult with the attorney and have the documents reviewed, corrected, and signed. When we completed our services on June 27, 2022, your sister moved forward with us in another pending immigration matter. During the phone call on October 26, 2022, your sister did not indicate that another attorney had been hired to finish her case. On November 9, 2022, she ended her e-mail with the words “Ok thank you Mr Romanenko for everything I’m so glad to have you as my lawyer always appreciate you support”. Now that you have notified us that another attorney has been hired, we will have to withdraw from representation and notify your sister in writing. We thank you for your business and hope that the third immigration attorney that you have retained will meet your high definition of a lawyer.
