Ilya got my husband out of removal proceedings — hearings dragged on for three years. He prepared everything meticulously. Highly recommend.

Д.М.
★★★★★
We filed for asylum after missing the one-year deadline. Ilya found the right exception and won the case.
А.Г.
★★★★★
Handles the case professionally, though email response time can be slow. Outcome was excellent.
К.П.
★★★★★
We won the case, but the fee was raised twice without a clear explanation. Strong lawyer, but make sure the scope of work is fixed in the engagement letter.
Р.В.
★★★★★
Expected more direct involvement. Most of the case was handled by a paralegal and getting Ilya on the phone was hard. Approval came through but the experience left a sour taste.
