  Irina has an incredible grasp of a complex immigration field dealing with EB5 or the investors' visa issues. It is a tricky field, but her understanding of the nuances, the regs related with immigration laws made it simple for my clients. Her judgments about the case are commendable.

  Irina's progress is amazing. Her exponential growth of legal wisdom is yet to be hindered. Recommending Irina to other clients for bankruptcy and immigration matters not only resulted in satisfied clients, but also resulted in me gaining important skills in areas of law where Irina is sufficiently and professionally sufficient. Working with her as co-counsel is a proud honor.

  Our company hired Ms. Lust after two other lawyers proved to be ineffectual, disinterested and seemed to only be concerned about their fees. We were extremely dissatisfied with the lackluster response time as well as the quality of work being performed. As soon as we hired Ms. Lust, we realized we had finally hired the right attorney. She was very persistent in resolving the case at hand but at the same time was very reasonable with her fees. We had a difficult case, which turned into an adversary proceeding because the other side filed for bankruptcy to be discharged of his misconduct. She was always prompt, responsive, empathetic and paid very close attention to detail. She really showed how much she cared about us as her client and went above and beyond to negotiate a settlement that was reasonable for us, while doing more work and getting more done for less fees than either of the other attorneys we had tried before her. I would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer for bankruptcy or any adversary proceeding. I would not hesitate to hire her again for any legal matter.

  My employer hired Irina per recommendation of a friend. Even though we are located in Texas and Irina's law office is in NYC, the whole H1-B application process went really fast and smooth. Irina was in constant communication with me and my employer and has always returned every single phone call and email. I was extremely happy to get my H1-B petition approved. Eventually, I had to travel back to India due to exigent family circumstances. When in India, I attempted to get a visa stamp in my passport but to my shock I received the 221(g) notice which meant I was found temporary ineligible for a visa back to the USA and that my case has been sent for further administrative processing. I was petrified as I thought that I will never be allowed back to the USA. I heard from my fellow Indian friends in similar position that it could take months sometimes even up to a year to get your case approved in India as they basically re-adjudicate it all over again. This is where Irina immediately came to my rescue. She urgently got in contact with my employer, prepared a large package of documents for me to submit to the USA Consulate in India, wrote a letter to the Consulate explaining my situation and followed up with them to expedite my case. Also, she has been in constant contact with me via email and offered her reassurances along each step. After stressful three weeks, I was finally granted approval and received my visa stamp which allowed me to come back to the USA. If you ever face similar 221(g) issue, I highly recommend using Irina's services as she has all the necessary experience in this issue and can guide you through this extremely traumatic process

  I have known Irina for over three years. During this time I have referred a number of immigration cases to Irina. She handled them expeditiously and professionally. The referred clients have expressed to me how happy they were with the outcome of the cases. They also said she made them feel that their cases were a priority to her.

  Carley & Lust came as highly recommended attorneys for representation in immigration to the US. After meeting with them, we concluded that that recommendation was not high enough. Their expert knowledge and willingness to help was exemplary and very much appreciated. I too, can now highly recommend Carley and Lust as a law firm of great proficiency and one that has its clients best interests at heart.

  I have known Irina for a number of years, including while she was attending law school. I know that she has always been a highly motivated individual, goal oriented, and always possessing great ambition to accomplish her goals. She brings all of this and more to her practice of law. She is an incredibly intelligent and creative individual. Irina is someone who not only examines the issues in detail, but looks to create solutions that are unique and innovative. She is both a compassionate individual and at the same time a passionate and zealous advocate for her clients. She is highly detailed in her work, and has a depth of knowledge that is not only impressive, but gives tremendous advantage to those on whose behalf she is working. Irina both as a person and a professional, conducts herself with the highest degree of integrity and trustworthiness. Having observed her professional evolution, and then utilizing her skills professionally, I am pleased and proud to recommend her with the highest regard. Alan Barry

  Irina participated in a program that I helped to develop between the Siberian Aerospace Academy and the State University of New York at Oneonta. I have known her since 2000 and taught and advised her. She took courses from me in Krasnoyarsk and then in Oneonta when she came there to complete her SUNY degree. I have had frequent contact her since she graduated as well. I also have known other members of her extended family for a long time, having met them in 1994 during my first (of many yearly) visit to Krasnoyarsk. They are very good people. With that background, I can say that Irina was an excellent student and is a fabulous person. She is very bright, works hard, strives for the best, and is just a very, very nice person. Does that sound like a positive recommendation? You bet it does!!! In case you think that "niceness" is a liability in the legal profession, I can assure you that her thoroughness, dogged persistence, and intellect will meet your needs. If I needed a lawyer, I would certainly call upon Irina.
