Russian-speaking lawyers — 2 listings, 2 verified

Check the state bar, the year of admission, and whether the lawyer actually files in the court you need (immigration, family, injury). Ask for a written fee agreement: hourly versus flat, what is not included, and who does the work — the attorney or a paralegal. Red flags are a guarantee of a visa or a settlement, a request to pay a “friend” in cash, and no bar number on the card. A Russian-speaking lawyer matters for affidavits, for a parent who will not testify in English, and for reading a denial letter the same day. SlavList does not take a cut of legal fees. Verified is a phone, an address and, where we can, a bar-number check — not a promise of the outcome. Write down the license number, the price or copay, and the cancellation rule, then compare two cards in the same city. Verified on SlavList is a phone and an address, not an outcome; Featured is paid and labeled Promoted. Leave a review only after the confirmation email — one per inbox per listing, no discount for the text.
