This review centers around my very limited experience with Attorney Kate Uliskaya…read more Kate was assigned to me on day 1, after I decided to purchase a home. I spoke with Kitty, who was professional and polite. I signed their online agreement, and paid the required half deposit. It was reasonably priced, and the firm seems to have a big presence, and supposedly is service-oriented. The seller required a 30 day time period for closing. Kate had never introduced herself, nor provided an initial consultation, email. She hadn't explained to me that she wouldn't be providing me with my basic attorney service, and told me another lawyer would go over contract...etc. She didn't communicate, provide any support, or contact me at all, and her email was not listed on the email threads. It is true that their office mainly communicates through emails. Weeks went by and I emailed the office. Had Kate received the contract yet? The next day I get an email with a date to go over the received contract with a different attorney. This was confusing to me, as I was not told of this possibility. If so, I could have made an informed decision in what firm I would have liked to represent me. Fast forward to the night before closing. I email the office. Who will be attending the closing with me? Kate Uliskaya emails me, 'I will be attending the closing from Levin Law.' That was my introduction to my attorney Kate Uliskaya. She showed up with all of us waiting at the table, shook my hand and introduced herself aloud. She went over the paperwork, had me sign where needed, and asked for the checks.. If I was properly informed that Kate was either conflicted, limited or unable to provide me her attorney services,( as listed on my sales contract ) I could have made a fully informed decision on what firm I would've chosen to represent me. The whole inaction on this lawyer's part, made for an unecessary tension for my first home purchase. I don't like to give bad reviews, for the simple fact that it can negatively impact someone's business and income stream. But I do have a duty to warn others. If she had explained the situation, maybe offered an apology, I would not have posted this review.

Peter did everything he could to make me comfortable and fully educated on the process. He took as much time as I needed to review every decision and was always available when I needed him.

I was really lucky to hire The Goodman Law Firm to represent me in the Short Sale of my home…read more Before I hired them, I had already parted ways with two other firms. The previous law firms were run and operated by very nice people, but they were not very well organized. It's no exaggeration to say that mine, was the short sale from hell. In total in took six years to complete the short sale. I had pretty complete resigned myself to thinking that this thing was never going to get completed because there were three banks involved. They did not want to play nice with each other, we lost several buyers because of this. I had squatters move into the house three times because it was vacant for so long. The police were utterly useless. The one and only positive shining beacon of hope that I had was the people that were representing me. Peter Goodman, was indeed The Rock. This guy is an excellent attorney and really nice person. His staff, led by Tara Zipprich, took as it their personal mission to lead me out of hell. They were undaunted by obstacles. They were like having Delta Force and Seal Team Six in my corner. It's been about six weeks since short sale closed. It's still very hard to believe to this thing is not hanging over my head. It's gonna take some time to get used that that idea, but I'm glad that it is. I wholeheartedly recommend the Goodman Law Firm to anyone who is looking for excellent representation.

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.

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.

I had an appointment at 5pm and called in the morning asking if I can come half an hour earlier…read more Volodumur's secretary said: sure, come in at 4:30, No problem. After I had to wait for about an hour with no explanation, Volodumur said his consultation is $200 and because I waited they provided me with the discount and normally they charge $250. His secretary told me $200 per hour when I called. Over the phone his secretary said it's 1 hour consultation so I didn't bother to double check. I paid $200 and after half an hour Volodumur said the time is running out and we have to wrap up because I'm asking the same questions. I was hoping that we have 1 hour of private consultation time. I told him that his secretary said it's one hour and he told me that he doesn't care what his secretary told me. The doors was always open so I don't feel we had a private conversation. Anyways, he didn't tell me anything that would help in my case. Just a lot of assumptions and guessing. Everything that's been discussed is simply available online. Unpleasant and unprofessional. I do not recommend them.

From the very beginning, everyone in the office was professional, compassionate, responsive, and incredibly organized. Any time additional paperwork or documents were needed, they always reached out promptly, explained exactly what was required, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. If we were ever missing something, they guided us through it with patience and understanding, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel much more manageable. What stood out the most was their dedication. Igor and his team truly went above and beyond for our family. They worked tirelessly, kept us informed every step of the way, and always made us feel like our case genuinely mattered. We never felt like just another client--we felt supported, heard, and cared for. After nearly four years of working together, I can honestly say I am beyond grateful for everything Igor and his staff have done for us. Their professionalism, persistence, and commitment are second to none. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and surrounded by an outstanding team that truly cares about its clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Igor and his law office. Thank you, Igor, and thank you to your incredible team. Our family will always be grateful for everything you have done.
