Excellent Attorney

I hired Shari to help me with my naturalization application. I was referred to Shari because I had a complex case. Shari was easy to stay in touch with and answered my questions promptly and thoroughly. She helped me complete all the forms and represented me at my immigration interview. I felt that s...he was truly on my side and she did all she could for my case. She helped me understand the process and steps for applying for citizenship when I did. Thanks to Shari I am now an American citizen! I would strongly recommend Shari Kumin!

Best experience possible!

This woman is incredible! We applied for a green card with Shari and it could not have gone smoother. She always explained the process, what and why immigration needed a particular document and always made us feel knowledgable and informed. She was realistic, but always positive. I was never worried ...about the process after we got in touch with her. She responds to emails extremely quickly, and with care. She is warm, kind, understanding with knowledge and experience. She used to be an immigration officer and knows the "art form" of filing. We got through the entire process in five months, (from first contact with her, to walking out of the immigration building with smiles on our faces, and tears of joy in our eyes!) We had previously been "ripped off" by another lawyer who over charged us, sent us on a wild goose chase for documents we didn't need in other countries etc. Shari is the exact opposite of that experience. Pricing was fare, she was always on time, and knew every detail of the process to guide us through smoothy (and so quickly). We are so grateful to this amazing woman! She has changed our lives forever. We will be using her in the future to apply for citizenship.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
