I am incredibly grateful to Julia Sverdloff and her entire legal team for their outstanding work and professionalism. They represented me in immigration court in Chicago, and thanks to their dedication, knowledge, and careful preparation, we won the case. From the very beginning, Julia and her team were attentive, honest, and extremely thorough. They explained every step of the process clearly, answered all my questions, and made a very stressful situation feel manageable and structured. I always felt supported and confident knowing my case was in such capable hands. What truly sets Julia apart is her deep understanding of immigration law, strong courtroom presence, and genuine care for her clients. This was not just legal representation — it was real advocacy. I highly recommend Julia Sverdloff and her team to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and results-driven immigration attorney. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I had an Asylum case with Sverdolff law Group and Julia was my attorney. We had a personal meeting in the beginning and I told her about my case. From the first day I came to know that Julia is knowledgeable and supportive and she proved how committed she is to me. She truly cares and responds right away when I have any queries and give great advice going forward with my case. Her professionalism and dedication and willingness to get the expected outcome made her the ideal choice for me. Julia handling my case gave me peace of mind and confidence knowing definitely I am in the right hands for my asylum case. She was with me in my interview in February and fortunately, I got approved. I definitely recommend her as your lawyer based on my experience. Thank you, attorney Julia and team.

Mrs Sverdloff took her time to explain everything to my husband and me. She lead us through the process step by step. She was alway available for calls and sms. We were very nervous about the interview but she prepared us for what to expect. That made every thing better. Interview went great and I am proud to say that I am now a green card holder. The whole process took about 7 months from start to getting my having my green card.
