She made my life in United States easy after I was on the point that I had to be deported.BEST LAWYER

Ilona is not only an immigration lawyer she is big heart person. I came to her when my asylum case was lost before immigration Judge. I was recommended to her by my friend who is Tadjig and she won his case as well. She told me what documents I need. My prior attorney didn't even told me 10 percent t...hat I was needed for my in comparance what Ilona told me. She won my case and Now I am happy. She and her stuff did amazing job. She is incredible lawyer she responded to all my emails in minutes. Even when I wrote her at 11 at night. She always there to speak with you even when my aunt passed away I was going to leave United States without waiting and she kept me and said'' God took her already your presents will not return her but will spoil your life'' I remember her words even now. Thank you darling God bless you and your family you are truly lawyer from God.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much Ilona, Denis, Arthur, Kirill and all others who helped us. We found Ilona's office last January after our case was denied 3 times (during 3.5 years) , our former lawyer said we had no chance to stay here. Our friends gave us Ilona's number and they said if Ilona says yes it means ye...s. These amazing people helped us to reopen our case , helped us to transfer our case from NC to NY. And last Tuesday our case was granted ?? no words to explain our feelings!!! Denis was with us in court. He is the truly the best !!! Thanks you so much for everything you did for us !!! We will always recommend Ilona and Denis and everyone who works with them . They are very professional. Ilona always respond to my emails during first 30 minutes. Or if we had a question and I called to the office Ilona's assistant Kirill could tell me everything I needed. These people know what to do! Anastasia

Very knowledgeable, hardworking, and caring lawyer!

I visited several attorneys before I was recommended Ilona. Some of them were very expensive but did not suggest anything - I guess they just did not want to think and so some extra effort. My case with H1Bwas approved and I am successfully working in the US! I should admit, Ilona Dzhamgarova is high...ly professional, intelligent, caring, and very knowledgeable. Most importantly, she keeps in touch with her clients no matter what and you get an answer to your questions from her very fast. I really appreciate this support- sometimes it is vitally important, esp. with immigration cases. Thank you very much for your work, Ilona Dzhamgarova!
