Engineer

Lola is a knowledgeable immigration lawyer. I consulted with her for my immigration questions and she gave me all the possible avenues for my situation. She is up to date with information from USCIS. I will for sure hire Lola if required in the future.

Lola is my superhero

I was in abusive marriage,I was going to leave USA for good because my ex-husband withdrew my I-130 and my I-130 and I 485 has been denied. I decided to contact with Lola and see if I ever will be able to come to USA to see my step dad and mom. We made an appointment with her and she was so professio...nal she asked good professional questions. I explained her everything why I cannot stay. She said me if Iam able to prove that my ex-husband was abusive to me I can apply for emigration status that allow to stay here as women who was abused by citizen husband and get a green card . Honestly, I did not believe that I have a hope to stay here because my ex husband convinced that I do not have hope to stay here without him.Me and my family were impressed by her professionalism and confidence after appointment. After my doubts, me and my family decided to hire her. I did not regret a second that we hired her since then. She lead me through the process, she prepared my case professionally. She and her team answered to all my question that I had. They gave me a confidence and I knew for sure that she knows what she is doing. After 2.5 years USCIS approved my case and green card, I was very happy and grateful to Lola. I do not have enough words how I am grateful to her for helping me eventually get a status and I can stay here with my step dad, mom and brother. I highly recommend Lola, you will never regret about that decision. She will be with you through the journey and she will give you confidence that she and her team will handle with everything with high professionalism.

The best attorney ever!

We are writing this review for Ms. Lola Zakharova and saying a huge thank you for being by our side at one of the most difficult moments of our life. Lola is meticulous, persuasive, attentive to detail, possesses great analytical abilities, very friendly, compassionate and pleasant to work with. Lola... is always there for you no matter how busy she can be, she makes you feel like you are her only client and that your case matters so much. We truly felt like one team and can never thank Lola enough for that! Lola worked on a very difficult case of ours and was able to submit a successful rebuttal to the NOID that we received. Lola has always been very responsive to our worries and addressed every single question we might have got. Having worked with Lola and knowing how diligent she is I can say from the bottom of my heart she is the only immigration attorney i would ever want to turn to with any of my immigration needs. We highly recommend Lola and her practice and are forever grateful for getting to work together!

Highly competent immgiration attorney

Due to my personal situation, I have had to talk to all sorts of attorneys with differing levels of expertise over the last one year. In the area of immigration alone, I consulted three lawyers. Of all of them, Lola stood out, right from the beginning, as the most competent, professional and truly lo...oking out for me. In my experience, it's rare to find an attorney like that. Lola was always responsive to my questions - whether it was over the phone or email. She provided detailed answers and the best objective advice for my situation. She was always available and accessible, unlike other attorneys, where I couldn't get past the assistants. Most importantly, Lola always had the most current and accurate explanation of the law. I was very impressed by her proficiency of the law. Besides being a competent lawyer, the little that I've come to know Lola, she is a beautiful human being and a strong independent woman. I admire her for her expertise and the work she does every day to better the lives of others. I have no hesitation in recommending Lola in her professional capacity as an immigration attorney! I wish her the very best in her career.

Made US citizenship a breeze

Lola was fantastic from the very first email through to the end. From the very beginning Lola was professional, transparent and very knowledgable. Responses were super quick even when I wasn't. At every point in the process I knew what was required, what I had to do and what the likely outcomes wo...uld be. In each case the outcome was quicker, faster, best case. I have recommended Lola to others and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.
