Excellent lawyer

Lena was my lawyer for the last 6 years. What started as a long and scary process was made easy with her knowledge, support and experience. She helped me with initial application as well as adjustment of status. Helped navigate the intricacies of immigration process in a kind and professional way and... I highly recommend her professional immigration services to anyone in need! -SB

Life-Changing Experience with Lena Nevsky & Her Legal Team

I can say without hesitation that meeting Lena Nevsky changed the course of my life forever. When I first met for a consultation, I had run out of immigration status. I felt hopeless, scared, and uncertain about my future. But from the moment Lena began speaking, her kindness, empathy, and unwavering... professionalism made me feel something I hadn't felt in a long time — hope. She looked me in the eye and told me that my life wasn't over, and that I didn’t need to be afraid. In that moment, she wasn’t just a lawyer — she became my champion. Lena and her incredible legal team were more than just professionals doing their job; they became my biggest supporters, my lifeline during a time when I felt completely lost. Over the past 16 years, I’ve worked with many immigration lawyers — but not one of them comes close to the level of dedication, skill, and encouragement that Lena brings to the table. Her belief in me reignited my own belief in myself. She never treated me like a case file — she treated me like a person, and that made all the difference. A huge part of my incredible experience was thanks to Anna, my case manager. Her attention to detail, deep understanding of the process, and steady support made a world of difference. She was always thorough, clear, and on top of everything. Her precision and diligence gave me confidence at every stage, and her compassionate communication made me feel like I was never alone in this journey. I also have to recognize Alex, Lena's assistant, who was one of the sweetest and most caring people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He was always responsive, professional, and incredibly kind — even during the most overwhelming parts of the process. He answered my questions patiently and consistently offered encouragement that helped ease the anxiety that comes with immigration cases. This process can be dreadful and draining, but Alex’s empathy and clarity made it feel easier and more manageable. Thanks to Lena's tireless work, my green card was approved in just 7 months — something I never imagined possible. Because of her, I now have the freedom to pursue my dreams. I'm joining the Air Force Reserves and starting a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. These milestones are only possible because of Lena’s brilliance, professionalism, and the unwavering support she offered from day one. There is simply no one better than Lena Nevsky when it comes to immigration law. I give her my deepest gratitude — and an easy 5 stars. If you need someone to fight for you, guide you, and believe in you even when you’ve stopped believing in yourself — Lena is that person. Thank you, Lena, you and your team were absolutely fabulous! You didn’t just help me get legal status — you gave me back my future. Deepest gratitude, Brunna DaSilva
