I was told I'd have to pay a consultation fee, which would then be deducted from the total payment if I decide to go ahead with it. The rate couldn't be discussed over the phone. This seems to be the current trend with many Russian-speaking shysters. They're basically preying on elderly immigrants who don't speak English. Now, non-Russian-speaking attorneys will usually give you an estimated total over the phone when you ask about a particular service. Sad state of affairs. Make your own decisions.

From the very first consultation with Marina Shepelskaya, we felt that we were in good hands. She explained the process clearly and gave us confidence moving forward. We also had the pleasure of working closely with Colleen Vitali and Diyora. Diyora's attention to detail and the care she put into helping us prepare documents and understand important legal points made a huge difference for us. Everyone in the office was always professional, responsive, and kind. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. We truly appreciate the dedication and hard work of this team and would highly recommend their office to anyone looking for knowledgeable and supportive immigration attorneys. Thank you from our entire family -- Snezhana, Grigory, and our children. We are truly grateful.

Review of Law Offices of Marina Shepelsky, P.C…read more We reached out to Marina Shepelsky for legal assistance and paid for a consultation. Our main concern was clarifying the status of U4U and TPS, since my fiancé had to travel to Europe due to health issues. In the USCIS system, U4U was still shown as active, and we needed clear advice on whether TPS was still valid and if any action was required. To make the consultation effective, her office asked us to send all our questions in advance, which we did -- we prepared a detailed document describing our situation and listing every question. On the day of the consultation, Marina arrived 15 minutes late. We understood this and didn't mind. However, what surprised us was that she had not reviewed our document at all. She was unfamiliar with our case and gave very superficial answers, showing little interest in understanding the details of our situation. It felt like she just wanted to finish quickly. The advice she gave turned out to be inaccurate and harmful. For example: She advised us to file late registration for TPS. Following her advice, we contacted a specialist who informed us that such a filing was not only unnecessary but could actually cancel the existing TPS status. When we went back to Marina with this, she admitted that was indeed the case. She also told us that if my fiancé were on an H1B visa, his spouse could work. Later, during a consultation with another attorney, we learned that this was incorrect -- the spouse of an H1B holder cannot work without independent work authorization. Because of these mistakes, we wasted time, money, and experienced unnecessary stress. Based on our experience, we strongly do not recommend working with Marina Shepelsky. The consultation was not worth the money, and instead of clarity, we received misleading advice that could have harmed our immigration situation.

Mr. Anik and his staff were always timely and gave up heads up in every step of the process.

The team made what could have been a stressful experience much easier, and I'm really grateful for their support. I definitely recommend Anik Law to anyone looking for a reliable immigration attorney.

Kleyman kept a 20K deposit I gave him to take my case, and after I paid him, he just didn't do his job and he didn't answer my calls.

I wanted to file a complaint against Kleyman, but he actually dared my lawyer to do it. Or that's what my lawyer communicated to me. The first person to review, back in 2016, is right, I wish I read that review before all of this happened. As I said, this is my personal opinion. Maybe other people had a good experience with him, but that's not the case with me.
