Posted by Natalia | May 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Experience of being a client

I worked with Ilona twice -- once for the prenuptial agreement and then for the changing of status upon my marriage with the US citizen (green card). Both times it was great - she provided late hour service, a personal approach, a clear procedure and perfect understanding of what should be done and ...exactly how to do it. You don't waste your time preparing papers which nobody needs because Ilona tells you exactly what you need, her team completes the forms so that together it all works properly and within the promised timeframe. In case of changing the status (green card), Ilona's team kept an eye on all steps and even called to remind me when I needed to go for the fingerprints and for the interview. Totally satisfied with the service and the highly professional approach.

Пару слов о Илоне

Илона не просто адвокат, она рожденный помогать людям человек с большой буквы! Для нее нет границы добра. Она высококвалифицированный специалист в своей сфере. Ее клиенты - ее дети, о которых она думает днём и ночью, лелеет их и переживает за каждого из них вне зависимости где бы она не находилась. И... я могу с уверенностью сказать, что она и ее великолепная команда внесли огромное счатье в судьбы миллионов иммигрантов!

Posted by Ekaterina | January 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Medical Malpractice

Ilona thank you !!!!

Hello, my name is Yekaterina I am the mother of the blind girl Iolanta. I would call my story “a path to the savior”, “path to God”. When everything is ok in life we wrongfully believe that we earned everything ourselves. We remember the God only when the tragedy comes. Our daughter lost her eye vi...sion due to the medical mistake of the doctors from the hospital named after Burdenko in Moscow City, Russia while performing first intravenous chemotherapy. My daughter was diagnosed with the cancer of both eyes. It happened on April 3, 2012 Iolanta was ten months old at that time. A different life started since then full of fears and sadness. Since the beginning we were able to cope with financially ourselves (covering the airflights and medical bills from various hospitals). There came a moment when we had nothing left to sell and all our friends and relatives have disappeared. However, other kind people have responded to our problem, I would say people from God. One of them was Ilona Dzhamgarova. She is very honest and sincere lady. I would like to express my gratefulness to all members of the staff of Ilona Dzhamgarova and Associates and to her personally for the help and support they provided to us. When I sought a legal assistance not only she did not charge money but also gave us hope that everything would get back to normal. Every time we visited her Ilona would say “Pray with all of your heart and ask for help and healing from God”. ‘’Ask and he would hear you” I am thankful to God for this encounter. Today Yolanta is 5 years old and she studies in school for gifted and talented students, plays piano, draws and read poems. She lives a full life without label ‘’disabled” She is a talented, blind girl who sheds the light!

The Best Immigration Lawyer !

I went to Ilona after two extremely bad experiences with other Law Firms. I was very close to be deported. Ilona and her team (they are a team there) was helpful and honest with me from the beginning. She understood my situation and the urgency of my case. There was no time to waste and after she ana...lyzed my case in a timely and professional manner-she came with a solution. Ilona was motivated to solve my case and I always felt her support. It was a long journey for me but everything work out well. I am thankful to Ilona and her team for all the work they did for me. She will be the ONLY lawyer that I will recommend if asked. Thank you very much!!!
