We liked the fact that she told the price right away on the phone. Others wanted to say this only in a paid consultation. Julia met us immediately and free of charge. It was a pleasure to work with her during about 2 years. She prepared us perfectly for the interview. She also did other documents for us. She's the best lawyer we've ever known. And most importantly, she is a very pleasant person to talk to.

I found Julia on Avvo and before choosing her I talked to other lawyers, but she was the one that was not out there to gain only for her. She had the intention to help her clients. That is why I chose her. I was going through tough and troubled times. She went beyond. She knows what she is doing. She is a dedicated and very disciplined lawyer and she will respond, even if you ask her a question at midnight (but that does not mean you should ask her questions at midnight :)) because she cares about her clients and the job she does.

Julia helped manage the Removal of Conditions Process and I-751 filing for my wife. While we already had most of our information prepared in advance, the documentation checklist that she provided was helpful. However, the true differentiator - in our eyes - was how responsive Julia was. Whenever we had a concern or question, no matter how trivial, Julia was only a text message away. I can't think of one instance in which she didn't reply within a ~10 minute window. We felt as if Julia (and not a paralegal) was right next to us throughout the entire journey and her reassurances and advice helped us maintain confidence in the process. We couldn't be happier with the services rendered. We also did receive my wife's permanent green card this week after ~10 months of waiting. If there were issues with our application packet that Julia didn't catch, this could have been a much longer process for us. Net/net, Julia was a great attorney to work with, and we will likely be working with her again on my wife's naturalization forms!

Julia Sverdloff was my lawyer I hired for the K1 fiancé visa. I knew from the first day she called me she was the one I was going to hire. Julia is authentic and very professional. She made the process very easy to follow, and treats you like family. She definitely is one of a kind. She will work her hardest to achieve your goals. Her knowledge of immigration is above any lawyer I consulted with before her. I recommend Julia to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. She truly is the best.

I worked with Julia regarding my case and I'm highly satisfied with the experience! At the very beginning Julia explained what to expect and how the process would look like. She checked all the documentation to make sure everything is correct. She always responded to my emails super quick and gave my very clear answers. On the stage of an actual interview SHE WAS SUPER SUPPORTIVE! I felt great (if you can say it about an interview with the officer :)). She would make sure that the process goes smooth and right and as an result - I've got a green card! :) I would highly recommend Julia Sverdloff as a lawyer for immigration reasons! She is always on top of your case! P.s. Additionally, she is just a great person to work with!

I needed to consult an attorney to get answers regarding family-based Immigration in America which is a process that can be stressful and a bit overwhelming. She answered all my questions with great clarity and also helped me take a step back and address the situation with confidence. All my worries went away. I highly recommend Julia!

I contacted Attorney Julia for help applying for a J2 visa and an EAD card. She was very patient and explicit in informing me about the details of the entire process. She always picked my calls and answered all my questions with so much kindness. She even gave me useful tips and advice on how to get very good schools for my kids and other personal issues. She was very easy to talk to. You can vividly tell that she really cares about her clients as individuals and not just the paycheck. Julia is such an excellent and amazing attorney. She is highly responsive, informative and always have the best interest of her clients at heart. My J2 visa and EAD application was approved in no time, all thanks to Julia.
