About

I provide services as Russian attorney since 1999 when I was admitted to practice as Russian attorney, the member of the Bar Chamber of St. Petersburg, the Russian Federation. In 2009 I became a fellow as certified legal consultant of the NYSBA, a New York association of practicing attorneys who are recognized as the most experienced and skilled attorneys in their respective countries.
Almost decades of legal practice I have represented my clients from all over the world: the Russian Federation, the United States, Canada, Australia, UK, Switzerland, China, Ukraine, and, I guess, a much more.
Major part of my work as Russian attorney sees me as a consultant specializing in international matters and providing top tier family law firms in the United States advice on cross-jurisdictional matters with a connection to Russia. I acted and continue to act as an expert in Russian law, and provide my expert witness reports to American courts and many other jurisdictions in Russian legal matters, which became landmark cases in relevant jurisdictions.
I am helping Russian citizens in their requests for asylum in the United States. The majority of my clients are ordinary people who would like to immigrate to the United States.An expert can be helpful in your case when your claim shows a unique matter or if this matter isn't good documented in conditions reports of client's country. An expert gives to judge objective evidences that you persecution's fear is well-grounded and helps judge to understand your anxiety and concern.
The main category of expert witnesses for asylum claims is country condition experts who can show situation in country, in particular, in the Russian Federation. If your claim involves Russia where there is a dearth of information, a country expert is needed. If official sources do not provide timely verification, you will want to find out an expert.
I am an advocate from Russia, researcher, and certified legal consultant in the United States might be able to provide her expert opinion with corroboration and supplementary context.
The role of expert is to provide to court special knowledge about the Russian Federation based on his or her experience. The expert can say that based upon his or her research, the conditions which were described by person who seeking for asylum, are match what I was watching. The expert cannot make conclusion if person should get asylum or not. He or she supposed to review the person's affidavit to understand his position and have a context for comments.
If you have emergency, I am available for you round-the-clock. I am also offering an On Demand Notary that is available 24/7, translation services, apostille, and obtaining vital records from Russian authorities.
I have participated as a guest or legal expert in various programs at ABC News, CNN RTVI, and Voice of America. I also regularly appear as a legal expert on Russian TV and radio programs.
