A true professional, expert and wonderful person

Our work with Julia during my application for political asylum has come to an end. For five months while I was in detention, she represented my interests in immigration court and interacted with ICE officers. Under her careful guidance, I went from complete confusion to winning the case, having my im...migration case closed, and being released from detention. Julia is a lawyer of the highest competence, a true expert, an empathetic and responsive person who not only finds winning strategies but also the right levers to influence the case review process. Throughout our work, Julia was always available, reacted quickly and efficiently to all changes, prepared and submitted the necessary documents punctually and flawlessly, provided tremendous legal and moral support, and comprehensively prepared me for my individual hearing. Julia did an incredible work, and I owe my freedom to her. I am grateful to Julia for her efforts and without any hesitations recommend her for hiring!

Professional in her field, great person

I want to express my gratitude to Julia Nikolaev for taking on our case! She is truly a master of her craft, investing not only professionalism but also a human touch into each individual case. Our case went through the entire process from the beginning to the final hearing in detention. Julia and... I met and signed a contract before the second master hearing, and at the second master hearing we requested the date of the final hearing. Julia managed to join me to my husband’s case and most importantly, she preserved this join and kept us with the original judge (the prosecutor's office requested that the cases be separated and the trials moved to new states, which would have meant starting everything from beginning). Julia's response to all changes, the need to make corrections to documents or file the necessary motions was immediate. I want to note that Julia communicates personally with each client, not only through established communication channels and detention schedule, but also via a regular landline phone during her personal non-working hours. Julia prepared us perfectly for the final hearing and, as a result, we won the final hearing. All work was done clearly and quickly. Thanks to this, we were tried and released with the necessary documents in a very short time. Thank you so much for the work done!

I express my deepest gratitude

I contacted Julia from Detention in June. She took my case, brought it to the final court and won in August. I had the opportunity to observe other lawyers and compare, since there were many people in the Detention Center. Julia demonstrated not only her professionalism, but also very good human qual...ities. She was my support and the person who saved me from deportation. I am infinitely grateful that I chose Julia and I do not regret my choice for a second.

Very professional attorney!

Julia Z. Nikolaev came highly recommended as a professional lawyer for assistance with my Green Card application. From our initial meeting, she clearly outlined all potential aspects of my case and provided a comprehensive list of documents needed before filing. Her remarks on each document were meti...culous and professional. Julia identified potential risks and difficulties, establishing clear deadlines. It became apparent that Julia is a top-tier expert with deep knowledge of the system. Over the course of approximately 1.5 years working together, she consistently responded to my inquiries and provided feedback on my documents. Julia gathered a substantial amount of information about me, compiled it into a cohesive case, and submitted everything punctually. Thanks to her professionalism, I received my Green Card very quickly, in just about 9 months!!!! I highly recommend Julia Nikolaev as an immigration attorney and a genuinely pleasant individual.

Super

We worked with Julia in the migration court. a very professional attitude to the work, we went through the whole process in less than a year. She helped speed up our hearing, we filed the documents in March and won the court in June. I definitely recommend both a good lawyer and a very pleasant and u...nderstanding person.
