Elena is an excellent attorney. Experienced and knowledgeable, she was able to answer all of our questions regarding the complex immigration pathway we were in. Her office is professional and efficient and she was accessible to us whenever we needed. She rates were affordable and very fair. We are c...

Elena profited on our family’s tragedy. Avoid working with her at all cost. Don’t waste your money and precious time! Elena knew how I was eager to bring my lonely old mother to bring to the US, and used it to take more and more money from me on every occasion even when I paid for her “service” in ad...
Ms. Ivanova, a former client, has grossly misrepresented what transpired. Our attorney-client relationship ended in August 2022 when Ms. Ivanova misused my legal services and then began bullying and harassing me via phone and email. Since then, she has continued her harassment, annually posting negative reviews on all available channels even though we have not had a professional relationship for two years. As to what transpired, Ms. Ivanova did not follow my legal counsel and started to replace documentation submitted to the Consular Electronic Application Center forcing me to continue her case although it was already documentarily qualified (which is a status that a case achieves when the applicant has obtained all documents specified by the consular officer as sufficient to meet the formal visa application requirements, and necessary processing procedures of the consular office have been completed). It is not possible for legal counsel to serve a client who takes matters into their own hands and complicates matters unnecessarily. As a result, after the National Visa Center had notified me that the case was complete and pending scheduling at the consulate, I notified both Ms. Ivanova and NVC of my withdrawal as her legal counsel. Unfortunately, this sparked the continued harassment and abuse. Despite this, I wish Ms. Ivanova well.

Elena is a great lawyer. She helped me with my marriage-based immigration after my marriage fell apart. She was very reliable, easy to reach and very personable too! I highly recommend Elena if you need help with immigration.
"I worked with Elena for several years and she always did an excellent job. Very focused with excellent attention to detail. I very much recommended Elena for tax and international work."
