Phenomenal help with divorce and step-parent visitation
Ekaterina Berman helped me with my divorce and, most important, she took on a task that all the lawyers I spoke with did not want to take on: step-parent visitation. I raised my step-son as my own child, but, unfortunately, his mother and I had to part ways and his mother suddenly decided to cut me off from my step-son. Suddenly not seeing my the child I love as my own was devastating. I found Ekaterina Berman through a Google search and spoke to her about my options. I shared with her the fact that other lawyers I spoke to did not want to take on my case. Ekaterina explained the law on step-parent visitation to me and told me specifically what she would do to reunite me with my step-son. Ekaterina explained to me that, in a way, this was an uphill battle, but, based on our conversation, I felt confident that she knew what she was doing and that she was going to do the right thing for me. Ekaterina Berman worked incredibly hard to help me get step-parent visitation for my step-son. This process took over a year to complete. During the entire process, Ekaterina has proven to be very knowledgeable and more than capable of providing a phenomenal work ethic and great communication skills. We had a 2-day trial and the judge decided in my favor! There are no words that can describe how much I really do appreciate everything that she has done for my family. Ekaterina is an amazing person and the best attorney!

Ekaterina is very professional and knowledgeable about US green card and California family law
I discovered my husband was planning to cheat on me during COVID-19. I needed help to understand what's my situation look like when I get a divorce with him. I found Ekaterina through Yelp. As a new immigration in the US, facing a very difficult time by myself right now. I have no family support here, and I have to do all this by myself. Ekaterina set up a zoom meeting with me right after my first email, she was very professional and knowledgeable. She helped me fully understand what's my green card situation. I talked to at least 3 family layers in the bay area, Ekaterina is the only one who helped me to walk through all important numbers (spousal fee, community property separation etc.) which is what exactly I needed at this moment. She helped me to understand what's the worse and what's the best when I get a divorce with my husband. She won my trust! I will come to her when I lead the divorce way in the future.

Thank you for all you did for me!
I express my deep gratitude to attorney Ekaterina Berman for standing by me through my difficult and contentious divorce. I thank her for her loyalty, commitment, and dedication to my case and to me. I left an emotionally abusive marriage with nothing. The most important thing for me in my case was the custody of my children. We had our first hearing in June of 2018 during which Ekaterina helped me secure a favorable support order that made it possible for my children and me to finally find a stable home. In July of 2018 we had another hearing and an emergency screening at the court, after which the judge granted me legal and physical custody of my children. I am thankful that my children and I now have a stable home and we are moving on with our lives. My ex husband is now being held accountable for fulfilling his obligation to support our children. I would not be able to go through such an emotionally difficult and time consuming process without a professional like Ekaterina who fought for me and for my children. Thank you!

Ekaterina’s time is worth every penny.
We usually do not need a lawyer when everything is going great in our lives. But things happen to most of us, and when they happen then we need someone whom we can really trust, who is very professional, efficient, and capable of fighting for us. Speak with Ekaterina. I hired Ekaterina after interviewing a few other guys from the same legal field. Ekaterina helped me twice in two cases, and I did not have to regret about my choices.

Awesome Lawyer!
Ekaterina is a great experienced family immigration lawyer. She is very professional, understanding, and knowledgable. She was very prompt with her replies whether by email or phone, and she always provided the best solutions when it came to immigration and obtaining citizenship. I would recommend her for any legal matters, including divorce, family law, spousal support, child support, custody and visitation, property division, and domestic violence restraining orders. She’s definitely a lawyer to trust and depend on. Her office is conveniently located in San Jose by Santana row with lots of free parking spaces. Thanks Ekaterina for all your services!

Much more than a lawyer, she is always there for you!
Me and my fiancé needed advice for my K1 Visa application. We found Ekaterina's Law office online and since then we've been really happy to keep her as our family attorney. She guided us through the entire process. The visa, prenup agreement and marriage overall. Now she is taking care of my adjustment of status and work permit applications. She is very professional and speaks many different languages including Spanish (my home country). Communication with her has always been flawless (Phone, email, regular mail and SMS) before and after my arrival to the US. She took care of everything, letting me and my fiancé enjoy our time together without having to worry of paperwork. We will definitely continue to use her legal advise for future needs. Likehood to recommend: 10/10 Thank you Ekaterina

Awesome Lawyer
We had our ongoing foreclosure case against our lender for almost 3 years already and we represented ourselves in Pro Per. Previously, we have hired two lawyers to assist us with our loan modification to keep our house but none of them were able to help. Then there came a time when we really need to hire a foreclosure defense attorney who can represent us in our mediation. I was scouting online for a defense lawyer when I came across her name. I read Atty. Berman’s client review and was impressed with her high rating. I called and asked her if she can handle my case. She willingly accepted it and had helped me since then. She is very compassionate and a down to earth person. She gave us guidance along the challenging course of the process and was truthful to us with the situation of our case. She was an extremely competent lawyer with extensive experience in negotiating with the bank with our foreclosure case. She had an amazing knowledge of our problem and was very compassionate to our circumstances. We are very thankful and forever grateful that we had her on our side and we know that without her, the bank will not agree on our demand. Atty. Berman is an excellent attorney and was successful in assisting us to get a good settlement with our lender. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Ms. Kashlinsky Succeeded Where Others Failed!
I will forever be grateful for Ekaterina Kashlinsky's services and expert legal help. By the time I came to her, I had already had 4 other lawyers who I had worked with and who muddled my case. By the time I found her, my ex-employer had not paid me promised commissions and 11 months had passed by - and they were still refusing to pay me. Ekaterina reviewed all of my documents, and immediately was able to tell me what the other lawyers had done wrong and what we needed to do to resolve it and we got to work on it. Ekaterina is trustworthy and has impeccable integrity, she is clear, easy to work with, and really knows the law and what rights I have. Ekaterina is also very resourceful, if there are any areas of question, she is diligent to get all the answers so she can represent you the best possible way. She also loves what she does, making a difference for others and being a contribution to people through her law practice. Ekaterina was able to resolve my case to my complete satisfaction! I believe if I had not found her, I would not have been able to settle my case – it was her efforts that made the difference! I would recommend her to any and every one!

Got rid of second loan
We took out a lot of equity out of our home, and it fell below what we owed on my first mortgage. When my husband lost his job, we couldn't afford the payments for the second loan. Attorney Kashlinsky helped us to decide that chapter 13 bankruptcy was the best thing to do, and set a plan that we could afford and still pay. We got rid of the second loan and kept the house. We were very happy with her service and her personal attitude as well as with the result.
