Words can't explain how people worship Ilona!!!!

Hands down Ilona is the best lawyer I had a chance to deal with ! Not only very professional in what she is doing but a person with a great heart and soul, which makes her even more priceless ! So many years of incompetent service of other lawyers put me in a spot when everything seemed impossible t...o change . That's when I met Ilona and she was the one and only who didn't turn her back on me .... Just that fact itself made me feel safe and gave hope . I could of write my whole story from A to Z telling through what Ilona had gone with me... But I think it's more important to say that her professionalism along with humanity helped so many people that she became part of their life as she became of mine .Without even thinking twice I give away her number to my friends and immigrants who doesn't know how to start their life here and need a hand . Needless to say that they are very happy with the results.. Ilona and her team became our family lawyer I would say ... Whenever we have a question or need a piece of advice she is there to help . I'm very happy and thankful to know that I have this person who literally changed my life and gave me an opportunity to live a full life in America with it's freedom and rights !

Save me from Deporation, we love you.

Ilona you are amazing hard working and best lawyer in the world. I suffered for 20 years in United States. I crossed border and filed for asylum. From Albania. My case was denied judge gave me deporation. Then another lawyer filed appeal and appeal was denied. Then I married another attorney filed mo...tion it was denied. Only Ilona could save me and in 2 years I got my green card. Every detail in my case was raised in motion to reopen even my asylum case . If I would'n have Ilona in my asylum case I am sure I would won my case. Thank you Dear God bless you and your family. Especially you helped me to pay money within 2 years because you new that my wife stragled with bad illness. I am thansfull for my friend from Montengro that you helped him to get his green card as well.

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

The best immigration lawyer hands down... read on to find out why

Ilona is the true professional in every sense of the word. In my opinion, she is what a real practitioner of the law swears in to be. Let me explain what I mean. Handling an immigration case for a client is a very delicate matter that bears a ton of responsibility. One simple mistake and the perso...n's fate is sealed (oftentimes, in a terrible way). By definition, an immigration lawyer is not the one who merely fills in the required forms and mails the package to the designated address to allow a US CIS officer to take it from there. This is a paralegal's territory. A true immigration lawyer approaches a case as if it is a "murder case" with no evidence left behind and relying only on her talent, deep knowledge of law, and ability to intuit, sleuth and deduce. An that is what Ilona does, and that is what she did for me. She was able to successfully resolve my case (a virtually impossible case, I should note) of changing status from M-1 to B-1 and then to F-1, after which I was able to obtain my green card. I highly recommend this brilliant and hard working lawyer to anyone with any immigration situation, complicated or not. Trust me, there is always a way to solve a case, even the most deadbeat ones. There is always some loophole, new statute, or "addendum" to a law that can be found and utilized given your case ends up in the hands of the right legal practitioner. Ilona is such a practitioner.
