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.

Professional and truly compassionate

Svetlana helped us with some employment law violation stuff - my wife had some rather serious problems with her ex-employer. And I'm pretty sure that without Lana's help it would be rather hard to deal with it. She is extremely professional, but besides that she is really willing and ready to help - ...I had to call to her several times after an appointment and all the time Svetlana was able to spend her time to help me with my questions. There is also another thing I really want to mention - she is a great human being - compassion and very responsive. Person who understand that this stuff is very important for people in trouble - not an artificial "courtesy", but true compassion. And I would like to say a very big "Thank You" to her for that...

Very knowledgeable and truly caring lawyer

Svetlana consulted me about my criminal case. She was always available, answered all my questions 24/7 and supported me greatly during this stressful situation. Svetlana is very knowledgeable in different aspects of law that is a very unique feature of hers and she is a truly caring person. I would ...highly recommend Svetlana to anyone who needs an attorney for a criminal case.

Knowledgeable, Caring, and Aggressive for Results

I have had a few experiences with lawyers. Svetlana is by far the best! She was my personal injury lawyer. It was a very stressful time, but Svetlana made me feel at ease. She took care of everything and fought to get the results I needed. She is responsive, caring, and very effective. I highly recom...mend her.

Precision, Excellence and Good Results!

Mrs. Svetlana is a great attorney not only professionally but also she is really humane, understands your circumstances and puts everything she can do into your case. I was lucky to meet her and have her as my attorney.
