She really saved our bacon! GREAT lawyer.

Seven months ago, the company I work for had the need for an attorney in the San Francisco county area. It was a serious business situation, which could have ended up being very negative for the company. I always start with online reviews to pick a service or company, and I spent a couple of hour...s doing just that. After narrowing it down, we picked the Law Office of Svetlana Shirinova. From the first conversation, to the POSITIVE final result of our dealings with Svetlana, we were VERY pleased. I have dealt with attorneys on behalf of 3 different companies, over a twelve year span. I did so much research because I haven’t had the best outcome with attorneys in general; often related to feeling “ripped off” on time vs. fees and lack of communication. From the start, Svetlana gave us a couple of great options in the regard of fees and they were both amazingly fair and reasonable. She spent a lot of time understanding the situation, and giving us great tips and input. The company did hire her, and she was great with communication anytime we called needing her, calling us back quickly if she didn’t answer right then. She suggested money saving options-things we could handle ourselves, that saved us THOUSANDS, I’m sure. She seemed to have a good grasp of the situation immediately, and we both felt very confident with her on our side. The thing that I liked most of all though was: I felt she truly cared about us-as people-not just a client to get money from; we were a “team” fighting together. I have NEVER had that experience from an attorney! It took months, but we had a perfect resolution and very little output of money considering the seriousness of our situation. I am whole-heartedly referring her firm to anyone wanting a smart, hardworking and honest (unreal, right?) attorney to represent you.

Great lawyer when you need help

Represented me in a vindictive and nasty business suit, resulting in the case being dismissed. I have since used her for consultation in both personal and business matters. Aggressive and smart lawyer.

Big brain and big heart = Svetlana. 5 stars.

A few years back we had a nasty business lawsuit which was handled by Martin Zurada, a lawyer with whom Svetlana shared the office back then. Svetlana was not our attorney, but she was absolutely amazing in handling some things related to our case. She is very creative, knowledgeable, she predicted t...hings and helped us understand what to expect. She offered her services as a translator in court without charging us a penny. She was an absolute rock and support all the way though. If you are looking for an attorney and reading this, you are probably considering Svetlana. Stop reading. Call her!

Excellent, prompt and fair attorney!

I have used Svetlana for a variety of issues that have arisen for me as a business owner. From legal docs to litigation, she gets the job done. She is prompt, fair, hard working, thorough and tenacious. I will continue to use her for my legal needs and will continue to highly recommend her.
