I can't say enough good things about this office. From the beginning, they were upfront and clear about how the entire process would go. Verna has been consistently kind, patient, understanding, thorough, and always returned my numerous calls and emails regarding our case. Having been to another immigration lawyer prior, the contrast in treatment was night and day. The price is extremely fair and they're upfront. Please do yourself a favor and use this office if you need any help with your visa cases. They are great. read more

Verna and Shervin are my superheroes. They helped my O1 visa and renewed it three times, and now they helped my artist green card!!! They made my childhood dream come true. One time, I stupidly forgot my O1 visa was expiring in one month, and they prioritized my case without any extra fee and renewed it safely. I am so grateful for their hard work. Thank you so much Verna and Shervin, I will definitely mention your names whenever I meet someone who wants to apply for a visa in the US!!! read more

I have worked with Verna and her stellar team several times over the years for my 0-1 Visa. Her work is precise, EFFECTIVE and trustworthy. Her level of integrity and insight in Immigration Law is far superior to other attorneys I've met with. I don't trust my money or my case with anyone else. read more

Verna and Shervin consistently delivered the best results throughout this long process. Thank you very much.

Verna is the best. I just received my O1 visa and the renewal from her! She is just trust worthy, reliable, on top of the game. She is the best of the best. read more

I do not recommend this lawyer. Despite spending thousands on her, she did but address all the questions on the request for my evidence. The application was ultimately denied by USCIS needing just one more evidence to pass. Makes one wonder if the one she left out could be the one. On the day I was told I was rejected by her staff (not her), I requested a copy of my case. I was told to pay the printing costs if I wanted a copy. I don't think she is exhaustive and hardworking. And on top of that, rather calculative. read more

Verna and Shervin are a godsend! Do NOT look any further for a great supportive immigration attorney who will go ALL OUT to help if they take on your case. Verna has successfully got me approved for multiple O1 visas, and now my green card! She never ceases to get the result you want - so I am so grateful of her experience and tenacity to get the cases approved a number of times for me. Thank you so much Verna for all your expertise and support with all! Ps: it's taken ages to write this- and I have also happily recommended her to anyone who needs immigration advice and help! :-) read more

Verna is a fantastic lawyer that over the years has also become a friend. This review is long overdue since she helped me first with my working visa as an actor (2004) and resident card afterwards (2005). I am now an American citizen and I couldn't be more grateful for all her help. More recently, she helped me get my mom's green card. Very professional and fair prices. Thank you, Verna! read more

I'm incredible grateful with Verna and Shervin for all the help they provided me during my visa process and even after I got it. Verna is a wonderful human being and an incredible talented attorney! She's honest from the beginning and tell you what your chances are. She's also super patient and understanding and gives you the advice you need for your case. On the other hand, Shervin was always guiding me in the process and helping me with the paperwork. He's super organized and nice to talk to! If you ever need an immigration attorney, this is the team you should get! read more

Verna and Shervin are experienced, reliable experts who you're looking for. In the process of getting O-visa, some people who had been scummed and abandoned warned me and gave me wrong advices. My only advice for the people who want to apply for O-visa is "Ask Verna first." Don't trust online gossip. She explain how much it will cost me clearly in the first meeting. My friend said," They gonna charge you more and more." Verna didn't. She replied to me quickly when I asked her questions. She was very patient with my poor English, too. I was very lucky to be able to find her. 英語が不安で日本人弁護士を探す方も多いかと思いますが、ミーティングは2回だけ、あとはemailでO-visaの承認まで漕ぎ着けました。優秀な方です。紹介もツテもない中、Yelpでレビューが良いので会ってみたら、大正解でした。 read more

Verna help me gain my permanent residency status despite an initial denial due to a document technicality. She and Shervin are very professional and supportive thorough out the application process. Verna always responded to questions in a timely manner and never seemed rushed in our meetings. I feel very fortunate to have found them. read more

I'm an artist from Switzerland and I retained Verna Polutan as my immigration lawyer in 2007. She walked me patiently step by step through the process of getting my O-1 Visa petition approved and she was always available to answer all of my many questions - without charging extra like so many other lawyers do. Four successful rounds of O-1 Visas later, she is now helping me to get my Green Card. Also I'd like to give a special shout-out to Shervin Fazel who has been nothing but extremely helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and kind. I could not be happier to have both of them on my side and I'm so thankful for all the hard work that this excellent team is doing on my behalf. I keep recommending them to all of my immigrant friends and I'm happy to do so publicly on here! read more

Verna has been an absolute God-send for me! She was already one of my best friend's lawyer and did wonderful in assisting her immigration process and from her recommendation we decided to go with Verna for mine as well and she has been super helpful, always kind and attentive and explained things in a way we could follow as I've never been too great at understanding legal documents and it feels amazing to have the confidence of someone who knows all of this so well go through it with you and I never had to worry about a thing! I'd highly recommend her to anyone and have to multiple friends already:) read more

Verna and her team went above and beyond helping with my O-1 Visa/ I was suggested to go with her firm by a friend who is also a lawyer and I can't thank him enough.

I highly recommend her and her team (Shervin always answers in a matter of minutes to all my emails). read more

My experience with Verna and Shervin was wonderful! Visa application can be a stressful process, but knowing that I had Verna's team on my side really reassured me.

Verna is an amazing lawyer! Both Verna and Shervin have been nothing short of amazing since I first met with Verna to discuss my O-1. She has always been patient, understanding, generous with her time and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable. My O1 visa was approved thanks to Verna and Shervin! I found their law service always kind, helpful, reliable, and informative. Verna even got on the phone with me to calm my nerves about the current administration's views on immigrants! So kind! I'm so appreciative of Polutan Law Group, if you want to pursue an O-Visa application make sure to reach out the Verna!! read more

A friend recommended Verna to me when I told him I was looking for a lawyer for my O1 Visa process. When my friend told me about her, he said the most amazing things... How his process had been just GREAT and how she had helped so many of his friends to get their visas too. Now, I am able to confirm what he said. Verna helped me get my O1 visa, she guided me through the whole process and always returned all of my calls, emails, and text messages (I was very annoying haha) but she was always very patient, understanding, and helpful. I could say that getting approved for an O1 visa was a dream for me, Verna and Shervin helped me make this dream come true. I will always be grateful and I would truly recommend Verna to all of my friends! read more

Although visa application procedures are incredibly complex and stressful, both Verna and Shervin have always been very professional, responsive, and simply a pleasure to work with, especially considering the fact that her rates are very reasonable. Verna has successfully filed multiple visa's on my behalf, and I'd urge anybody looking for an immigration attorney to consider her! read more

If you are a foreign artist and looking for your US immigration attorney for your artist visa or/and your artist green card, get a phone and make a consultation appointment with Verna Polutan NOW!!! Do not waste your life time worrying yourself and getting advice from your friends or someone who is non-professional. Like many other foreigners, I have been applying on various visas and statuses for the past ten years. I've just received my artist green card from the U.S. government. While my resume, experience and my art works contributed a great deal to grasping this opportunity, I have no doubt that Verna's intelligent and thoughtful argument played a central role in the United State's decision to offer me the green card for the extraordinary talented Alien!! Before reaching to Verna, I went more than 20 consultations to various law firms, however, most of the lawyers only knew a standard visa affairs and had no idea of what the Art sector was. I know all the immigration situations are tough and different, but it is worth investing your money to hire Verna for your future!! To have Verna as my immigration attorney has been one of my best and wisest decision in my entire life! Verna is experienced, fair, hard worker, honest, and super strong attorney for Artists. She knows what she is doing. I cannot express my whole hearted thanks for her consideration and limitless time in supporting my endeavors. Verna's encouragement, professionalism and expectation meant a lot to me. Hope you can find a right path for your talent and I wish you the best of luck for your journey!!! read more

Verna Polutan has been our lawyer since 2010. We tried other attorneys in the past, but was a complete waste of money and loads of stress. Verna is very respectful and knows what she is doing, no promises, just hard and honest work. She successfully got us our visa! I recommend her services to anyone looking for an attorney for immigration services. We moved to NY and she is still working with us on a new case! We wouldn't change her for any other professional. read more

Verna and Shervin are an absolute blessing to my immigration journey as an artist in the United States. I say this because I've experience 1st hand how compassionate, intelligent and reliable this firm is. She wants you to win and she will walk you through how to get there.

Verna and Shervin are someone you can trust and rely on. When I felt discouraged, she told me that I must fight for it, and so I did with their help. As a result, I received my TWO O-1 visas (first one in 2012 and the second one in 2015). In 2018, I had her help to file and apply for a green card and BAM! Got it! They changed my life in the most positive way possible, with their professional, personal and kind support. I always refer her office whenever someone is seeking for immigration help. read more

Verna has been my lawyer since 2009. She was recommended by my friend who also got O1 visa, and I have another friend who also obtained O1 visa (Individual with Extraordinary Ability) through her, so she is definitely an expert of the field. Throughout these years, Verna helped me to successfully process two O1 visas, and green card EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). Also she helped me when I got in trouble by making a mistake during those time, as well as helping me to process my husband's difficult green card case. She is very personable and easy to communicate. Her rate is very reasonable compared to some I've heard in the past, and she provides generously free consultation before starting the case. From the first time I've met her, she has made me feel always comfortable calling up or e-mail whenever I had questions or in trouble. She has been always professional and kind to me and to my family, so she became somebody I can totally count on, and more than a hired lawyer to me. I and all my family are very thankful to her. I wholeheartedly recommend her legal service to anyone ! Thanks Verna ! read more

I can highly recommend her, she is the only one who consults you very straight forward and tells you the correct timelines etc, that was highly valuable for me!

I have been a long-time client of Verna, and I can only speak of good things. She has helped me apply for 4 visas and extensions and was very thorough with her guidance on how to build a solid case for the petitions. Her knowledge of the immigration law is extensive and she also is always up to date with current laws and procedures. All of my cases have been approved and I thank her for this! Do not hesitate to contact her! read more

Verna was the best throughout my O-1 visa application! She was very informative and was very responsive to all my questions and doubts. My application got denied because a USCIS officer totally mishandled my case BUT Verna saw it through to make sure it got approved in the end and it did! She is the best immigration lawyer cause no one else puts in the time and effort into a client's application like she does. She is also very thorough and honest. I always recommend her to my fellow international artist/musician friends! read more

Verna took me through the process of obtaining a US work Visa. Frankly she exceeded my expectations. Her work was very professional, personal and on time. Pricing was extremely competitive. Larger firms had made it seem like I was trying to find the "holy Grail" Verna took me through the process with logic and professionalism. Would I recommend her, a big yes, would I re-use her firm, absolutely.. read more

Verna was amazing! She helped me get my Greencard and was very supportive throughout the whole process! Visas and Immigration are tough at the moment and so feeling confident in the person handling your case is everything. read more

Hiring Verna for my O-1 visa (visa for individuals with extra-ordinary capabilities) was the best decision I made about maintaining a legal work status in the US. I am an Indian citizen, I studied in the US and have been working for only the past 1 year. Thus, my O-1 situation was a bit difficult. Verna reviewed my documents for free even before being in contract with me and advised me to apply. She helped me draft excellent letters of recommendations based on the information I gave her, she did an in-depth research about my professional background and found all the material about me and my references that could help with my application. She also worked with my employer for legal documents seamlessly without needing any involvement from me, ever. The total time of application was about 3 months, most of which was the delay in getting support letters signed by people. There is no-one else I can think of hiring for my green card application. I highly recommend Verna. She is located 300 miles away from me and it did not matter at all. read more

I'm very grateful to Verna and Shervin!!! They are wonderful! All my doubts were resolved with a lot of responsibility and patience and my visa O1 was approved. We are vey happy! Thanks a lot!!!! read more

Verna Polutan is a fantastic Immigration Attorney. Going through the process of applying for a visa seemed very daunting until I met Verna who simplified the process and made working in the USA a real possibility. She is professional, amazing at her job and gets the results. Since my O1 visa was approved through Verna, I have recommended her to many of my friends who have also worked with her and obtained O1 visas successfully. Her prices are very competitive. I can't speak highly enough of the Law Offices of Verna Polutan! read more

I owe my living in the US to Verna! have been working with Verna for over ten years. She has been my immigration lawyer since I moved to the US. I went to see about 5 or 6 immigration lawyers before meeting Verna and all of them were negative about my case. Verna was the only lawyer who gave me options. I have done 3 different types of visa's with her, H1B, O1 and now I am grateful to say I have my Greencard! What I love about Verna is she really looks at you as an individual and finds ways that suit your needs and capabilities most. As my experience and career direction changed so did my Visa's. I felt so comfortable that Verna really knew my case so well that she could really argue my case. Which she did succesfully with every visa application and extension. Being a creative freelancer is not such an easy case to win but she did every time. Also throughout the ten years Verna has always been available to me whenever I have had immigration questions. I have recommended many of my friends and even people I do not know well to Verna. I am so grateful to Verna and her office for my stay in the US and now thanks to Verna I am the proud owner of a Green card! read more

Verna is a PRO with O1 visa. She got me my O1 and my case was very difficult. I knew it was going to be a big challenge. My niche was very specialized, it wasn't mainstream, and after my experience with my previous lawyer who gave up on me, I had little hope. I have made numerous phone calls to various 5 star lawyers and Verna stood out amongst all. The responses I received from those cold calls included I won't have a chance or it'll be too difficult because my occupation was too specialized. After my consultation with Verna, I immediately knew I made the right choice. Verna is a true specialist in O1 and she cares about her clients. After I told her about my experience with my previous lawyer, she expressed very clearly that she doesn't give up on her clients and that when she takes on a file, she is fully committed to giving her clients the very best to help them get an approval. No doubt, she is an expert in this field. I HIGHLY recommend Verna. read more
