Claudia represented me in a long process of requesting and receiving asylum, receiving a green card, and, just a few weeks ago, obtaining my US citizenship. My case was long and complicated, but she patiently and thoroughly went through every single detail, assembled an impressive file of supporting documents and statements, and helped me become a full citizen at the end. I couldn't have imagined trying to navigate this process without an expert, and she is the best. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters.

Claudia Slovinsky and her team of attorneys are in my opinion the very best in their field of immigration law. I can state this with certainty based on my personal experience with this firm. I am one of this countries newest citizens thanks to Claudia and her team. Back in 2010 I made the mistake of applying for my citizenship on my own without the help and advice of a lawyer, this is when my nightmare began. It turned out that the Green card which I had in my possession for ten years was invalid. This happened because i had unknowingly signed a waiver giving up my right to my green card . I sought help for this issue through a community organization and to my delight my green card was re issued to me by immigration services . I lived and worked and traveled in and out of the USA many times during this period but, at my interview with immigration services the book was basically thrown at me, as they told me that my green card was invalid even after they had sent it back to me ? It was then i realized that i needed not just a lawyer but the very best immigration lawyer that i could get. I was advised to consult with Claudia Slovinsky and i must say it was sound advise. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Claudia as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced immigration attorney. Her firm has many years experience dealing with all sorts of immigration issues. Her approach to my problem was very professional and she gave me the reassurance and optimism that i needed in this very difficult and confusing time in my life. At the time i was married to a US citizen which definitely helped my case and after several months Claudia secured a new green card for me. I was told then by immigration services that i could reapply for citizenship after two years and nine months had passed. Three months later I was unfortunately dealt another devastating blow as my wife passed away suddenly. Claudia and her staff reached out to me and my daughters at the time to offer their condolences and i greatly appreciated this. As I was no longer married to a US citizen, I would have to wait five years and nine months to reapply for citizenship. Time passed and it was time to reapply for citizenship and I did not hesitate in contacting Claudia Slovinky and her team in assisting me . I feel that I could not have been in better hands throughout this whole experience and I greatly appreciate Claudia and her office for being very professional and extremely approachable. Sincerely, Patrick.....Citizen.

The help of Claudia Slovinsky's law firm was essential in the application process for my husband's application for permanent residency. When a family emergency threatened to throw our application timeline into disarray, the firm was quick to give us advice and help. Our process with USCIS was ultimately relatively smooth, in large part thanks to the work of Ms Slovinsky and her colleagues, especially the fabulously competent paralegal, Katie. Thank you all.

It was a pleasure to work with Claudia Slovinsky! My husband and I are both got our papers with her help and knowledge . Our case was not easy to deal with,but she knew how to turn things out and put it in to the right path ! She has answered all our questions, returned our calls and has been amazing at explaining how this whole system works. She's professional, very honest,kind and gets right down to business. I could not have been referred to a better lawyer ! Thank you so much for everything that you did for us and our family !

we needed a really experienced and trustworthy attorney to help guide us through the whole process of applying for permanent Resident status, and a friend wholeheartedly recommended the law firm of Claudia Slovinsky. So we went very nervously to our first meeting with Ms. Slovinsky, and no one could have laid out our course of action better or clearer or more distinctly than she did that afternoon. And from that point on, we simply had to follow her guidelines for us, providing the documents she needed and gathering together all necessary information. We worked with her team for over a year, doing everything just as she directed and they helped us carry out, I never felt lost or confused, but when I had any question at all, I could call or email and get a very fully satisfactory answer immediately, Everyone in her office from associate attorney to paralegals and secretary were all amazingly responsive and totally knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very encouraging at every step. I have since seen other situations like ours, and the applicants' attorneys were never so totally present and informed and cheerfully helpful. Frankly I can't imagine having gone through this process (which is now completed and a total success!!!) with any other less attentive or less pro-active than the Claudia Slovinsky firm! God bless them and may they have a great new year, because they sure made it possible for us to have one, and many afterwards hopefully!!!!

We hired claudia slovinsky and her team, to assist us in attaining permanent residence. From the first day we began the process, filling out the neccessary paperwork, documents we needed to obtain etc etc. Everything was explained to us in great depth. jonathan her paralegal was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and informative about the whole process, and was able to answer any questions we had in a timely manner. Leena was a pleasure to work with, she was able to guide us and was very informative as we advanced along the way with our immigration process. Leena answered any questions we had concerning certain time frames regarding permanent residence status. All in all we had a very positive experience with the slovinsky law firm, i would recommend this firm, to anyone with immigration matters. Out of scale of 1-10, a very strong 10 I would rate this firm.

Claudia, Leena, and Jonathan worked wonderfully as a team and all three showed a lot of patience as they guided us through the daunting task of obtaining a Green Card. It is my opinion that most lawyers probably have a good intellectual understanding of this system; however, they took it a step forward and provided us with the necessary support and were available, when necessary, to answer any question we had. I never felt rushed nor like an imposition. Jonathan, the Paralegal, was extremely efficient and his follow-up on items was commendable. He was on top of every little detail every step of the way---so extremely important in this process. Leena was extremely knowledgeable around the interview process and eased any anxieties we had in terms of this process. Claudia was thorough in her approach and I felt like we were in really good hands from the very beginning of this green card process. Additionally, her secure, confident approach, along with Jonathan's efficiency and Leena's knowledge of the bigger items such as the interview process helped us make it through this cumbersome process seamlessly. And, the warmth and support they provided was an extra bonus but should not go unrecognized, especially since we did this long distance. I would highly recommend this team for the process of becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident .

I'm on H1B visa and Dominic Kong was hired by my previously employer to take care of my case as well all cases for the company. He was always extremely professional and any questions I had, it was quickly answered. Dominic is extremely professional and he knows what he does. I've changed jobs and the new attorney is rude and extremely difficult to reach. I even called Dominic to ask a few questions about my case, because my current attorney didn't care to answer and he was extremely courteous to talk to me and help me. I would recommend him without a doubt. It's not easy to find such amazing attorney like him.

Claudia was recommended to me independently by two people who did not know each other and whose opinions I highly respect, and I have retained her office for all my immigration matters since 2009. This was an important decision in a crucial yet difficult moment in my life, and I am glad I made the right choice. Thanks to the impeccable skills and unwavering dedication of Claudia and her staff, I now have a green card. And I plan to retain her office for my naturalization and my family’s adjustment of status in the next several years. I have had a complicated case that involved literally all immigration agencies, all of which Claudia handled skillfully with the interests of her client in mind. A great lawyer is not simply someone who knows the law; rather, she is one who is adept at “lawyering.” I am most impressed by Claudia’s abilities at maneuvering complex legal pieces moving through various agencies simultaneously, negotiating the best legal venues for her clients, engaging with ever-changing immigration law, and above all, controlling the art of timing so crucial in legal proceedings. A fearless advocate of social justice, Claudia fights for immigration equality and for the lives of her clients, be they identified as LGBTQ, people of color, and/or DACA. A straight talker, Claudia offers not unrealistic fantasies but genuine and nuanced analysis of a client’s case and best options. She is personally invested in not only my case but my life. Her associates, in particular Leena Khandwala, and staff have treated me with professionalism and respect. And her rates are fair; her billable hours, transparent. I am grateful for all that Claudia Slovinsky has done for me, and I strongly recommend her to anyone in need of immigration counsel.

Claudia Slovinsky is an exceptionally gifted, dedicated and compassionate immigration attorney. She was referred to us by our trusted family lawyer, who described her as “the best immigration lawyer” he knew. He wasn’t kidding. Claudia and her great team masterfully handled a host of complex and challenging legal issues related to my initial immigration application and eventual successful naturalization request. Claudia listened, knew all the right angles, worked closely with us to build strong legal arguments, seized opportunities, and fought relentlessly for me. We are blessed to have found her and refer others to her all the time. She is truly amazing.
