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.

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!

Awesome Attonery

Svetlana is a very knowledgeable lawyer and she was really helpful. She helped my mom with some complicated matters pertaining to her work. She really went out of her way to help out. I highly recommend!

Extremely helpful, interested, and genuine

We've recently had to navigate a botched home remodeling project. Completely out of our element, we knew we'd been wronged but we didn't know our rights or how to extract ourselves from the contract we'd signed. Our phone sessions with two separate attorneys referred by the SF Bar Assn were disappoin...ting. We found Svetlana through Yelp, where she has stellar reviews. We really can't sing Lana's praises highly enough. After just a couple of consultations, she has provided straightforward, no-nonsense, and -- best of all -- actionable guidance. She's worked very hard to help us resolve this stressful situation favorably, and despite having clients with far more serious problems, she has afforded us generous time and attention. Lana consistently demonstrates a sincere interest in us and our situation, and clearly cares about helping us reach a positive outcome. We're very grateful to have found Lana, and we would recommend her without reservations.

Listening and Caring Attorney

I consulted Svetlana about my big unresolved credit card debt. Svetlana explained the legal situation to me and agreed to work with me, teaching how to respond to the coming requests. We had a long, straightforward, positive and productive conversation. I trust her and am planning to continue my work... with her. I recommend her as a knowledgeable layer who cares about clients. I am planning to work with her for a while.
