I started up a small business in January of 2014. I had no experience working with attorneys and…read moreI'm really glad I found Regina because she was like a beacon of light for me trying to figure out all of the complicated legal matters setting up a small business. I found Regina online after interviewing other small business attorneys - Regina was quick to respond. A few things to consider that make it great working with Regina: 1- Regina offers affordable packages as well as an hourly rate (depending on the level of legal services you need) and details all of the expenses up front. There were no "surprises" down the road as we started working. 2 - Regina has an efficient and simple online case management system. Regina will keep you posted on her progress, upload PDF files, and keep track of dates with a calendar. Regina is also available for Skype and phone consultation as well as email. 3 - Regina writes some really great articles to help educate her clients about legal issues and posts them on LinkedIn. These articles are informative and useful. I would highly recommend anyone looking into getting a small business started to contact Regina for legal help. I will be consulting with Regina for future legal matters.

In the time since then, I have retained Helene in the context of corporate law, through the company I own.

So, this firm has at least 3 different Yelp presences, but they are all for the same company…read more Check the website, they are all the same, Yelp admins. I mention this 1) so that you make sure to check out the other pages (search for "levin law" or "yevgeny" - all 1 star reviews) and 2) because they removed my negative review based on "it was posted on 2 different companies so it must be fake." I'd guess they are taking down many negative reviews based on this flimsy excuse, so be aware. So....here's my experience. I was a seller, trying to do a sale of my apartment. I had a buyer lined up and ready to go, so it was lawyer time. Great! And they're cheap, how complicated could a straightforward apartment sale be for a company that obviously churns them out? The problem came when my buyer got spooked by some of the language in the contract they received. I don't know if it was their lawyers being dumb, or something the Levin firm had done because NO ONE WOULD TALK TO ME. It's even possible they were doing some kind of amazing job behind the scenes, but I'd never have known it. Because: I literally never got any contact with an actual lawyer. I called, I emailed, I had my broker call and email. Nothing. This despite the promises they make on their website. In fact, I'd probably let it all go if they didn't guarantee in writing that you will have a lawyer's phone number and be able to contact one directly when you need to, because that is NOT the case.

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.

Review for Sharon Johnson - Johnson & Johnson Law Firm, NJ…read more Sharon Johnson was the one person I could trust during an incredibly painful legal battle. While the opposing attorney, Mario Lomonaco of Laufer, Dalena, Jensen & Bradley, flooded the process with costly and unnecessary conflict, Sharon remained ethical, compassionate, and deeply supportive. Daryl Cilli of Media, PA (owner of NLTD, formerly 160/90) used his wealth to try to bury me in legal bills, fully aware of the damage. Sharon fought for me with heart and integrity when others weaponized the system. If you need a strong, empathetic attorney who won't back down, I highly recommend Sharon.

I'd like to share my experience with Yanina for anyone considering hiring her…read more She seemed engaged at first, but after I paid the retainer, communication became very poor. I was often left on hold, and calls were not returned. On my court date, scheduled for 9:00 a.m., she repeatedly said she was running late and didn't arrive until around 4:00 p.m., when court was nearly over. I felt my case was being pushed toward trial instead of seeking the dismissal I wanted. I ultimately fired her and hired another attorney, who got my case dismissed after just one hearing. This was my personal experience, and I hope it helps others make an informed decision.

I am not a proponent of negative reviews, however, this one is well deserved and perhaps others…read morewill find it helpful. To say that we had a frustrating experience dealing with Yannina's office is an understatement. We had to chase her with numerous and continuous follow ups and requests to finish the work she was paid in full to do. Despite our efforts, we received promises and excuses from her as to why the job is not done. In summary, communication was poor, deadlines were missed, and the matter was not handled in a timely or professional way. A year later, the work has not been finalized. With that being said, I would not recommend this office for representation.
