Client Reviews

I am deeply grateful to Attorney Alena Shautsova and her outstanding team for guiding my wife and me through one of the most important journeys of our lives—helping my wife obtain her green card. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Ms. Shautsova is not only highly knowledgeable about immigration law, but also genuinely cares about her clients as people. She took the time to listen carefully to our concerns, explain our options in clear terms, and develop a strategy that gave us confidence even when the process seemed overwhelming.

What truly amazed us was how quickly and efficiently she made everything happen. Despite a very short preparation time, Ms. Shautsova and her associates organized our case so thoroughly that we received approval in only 25 days—something we never imagined possible. That level of skill and attention to detail is a testament to her expertise and dedication.

Throughout the process, communication was exceptional. Every email and phone call was answered promptly, and no question was ever treated as too small or unimportant. Ms. Shautsova’s professionalism and foresight gave us peace of mind at every stage. She anticipated potential challenges, prepared us thoroughly for each step, and ensured we felt ready and supported.

Her associates and staff were equally outstanding—always organized, courteous, and attentive, making sure our documents were flawless and deadlines were met. Their collective effort created a seamless experience, and it was clear that everyone in her office was invested in our success.

The immigration process can be stressful and intimidating, but Ms. Shautsova transformed it into a journey of clarity and hope. Thanks to her expertise, hard work, and compassion, my wife is now a permanent resident of the United States. This achievement has changed our lives, and we will always be thankful for her role in making it possible.

I wholeheartedly recommend Alena Shautsova and her team to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer who combines unmatched legal skill with genuine care for her clients. She is a true advocate, and we could not have asked for better representation.

After a decade-long immigration journey with little progress, I decided to switch to this firm — and it was the best decision I made. Alena and her team handled my case with exceptional professionalism and resolved it in just 6 months. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and commitment. Highly recommend to anyone navigating a complex immigration matter. Thanks to Alena

I strongly recommend Alena. Immigration and citizenship is a complex and confusing process. Alena’s top notch experience, guidance, and knowledge helped my wife and I prepare properly. I highly recommend her to anyone going through the green card or citizenship process. Thank you, Alena!

I had a consultation with Alena Shautsova regarding some immigration procedures. She answered all my questions and resolved all my doubts. I totally recommend her as a lawyer!

Thanks to Alena my father and I have US citizenships. I’ve never formally hired Alena as my attorney but I consulted with her multiple times since 2013. The advice she gave me resulted in me getting my citizenship in 2017 and my father getting his citizenship in 2026. Without her advice we would not have been able to succeed. Moreover, Alena is simply a good genuine positive person. It is always a pleasure to work with Alena!

Words can’t fully express how grateful I am to Ms. Shautsova, but I’ll try. She helped me with my complex defensive asylum case and supported me through one of the most difficult periods of my life.

I had originally hired a well-known Manhattan-based attorney who took my retainer and then completely stopped responding to my messages and calls, leaving me in the dark just four months before my court date. I was completely lost and had no idea what to do next. While searching online, I came across Ms. Shautsova’s profile on Avvo. Her experience and client reviews stood out, so I scheduled a consultation. Right away, she came across as someone knowledgeable and trustworthy. That one consultation gave me more insight and direction than I had gotten from my previous attorney over several years.

Throughout the case preparation, she stayed in touch, guided me, and gave me the push I needed, especially when I was struggling due to my earlier negative experience. I wasn’t the easiest client, but she was patient and professional every step of the way (please, be good clients!).

My hearing was held online and scheduled alongside two other cases. One person’s attorney didn’t show up, and another had filed documents incorrectly, so both of their hearings were postponed for years. Ms. Shautsova’s preparation, on the other hand, was absolutely perfect. And can you imagine, the judge, a well-respected and experienced immigration judge in New York, spent about 10 minutes praising her work and said that if all attorneys were as thorough, the immigration backlog would be much smaller.

In that moment, I felt proud, relieved, and truly lucky to have her by my side. Thanks to her incredible preparation and dedication, my case went smoothly, and I was granted asylum. I know without a doubt that I couldn’t have done it without her.

If you have a complicated case or had a bad experience with another attorney, I highly recommend reaching out to Ms. Shautsova. She knows what she’s doing and truly cares about her clients.

Mrs Shautsova with her accurate hard work , professionalism and quality service she was able to get approvals of the approval of 601 and 212 waivers for my brother who was deported twice with 20 year bar and criminal grounds.

I am very grateful to Mrs Shautsova

And highly recommend her because she has an extensive experience representing her clients. Her fees are very reasonable

I decided to call Alena when my first lawyer told me, that my green card case doesn’t have a good outlook, and I would need one or two years to justify my legalization. Alena gave me professional advice and convinced me that we have a good chance to win. It took us four months to develop a new petition and prepare all the necessary documentation. In four months, after initially contacting Alena, I got approval of my petitions. It means that all her efforts proved effective. Alena, thank you for your professional work.

My brother’s case was almost impossible . He had 2 deportations first was 10 years and second -20 years and very complex criminal case. Alena made both

waivers 601 and 212 approved. Ms Shautsova is very knowledgeable and she knows how to deal with very difficult cases. I tried a lot of immigration attorneys spent lots of money.

We are very very happy
