Tatiana Nader Case Overview

Tatiana is one of the Firm’s earliest green card clients, she was represented by our office in 2015 and her case was handled without any issues.

Fast forward five years we are now representing her in her citizenship case.

We follow up with our clients often to ensure they are receiving all relevant information for their cases.

You don’t only have to take our word for it, you can hear it from Tatiana herself on her experience working with our firm.


Working with Inna’s firm has been a great experience overall. She has helped with my marriage based green card, the removal of my conditional residency and now my citizenship case. She and her staff are reliable, responsive, and very organized. I couldn’t be happier with my decision on choosing her to represent me and now she represents my grandmother in her citizenship case as well. I would recommend anyone hire Inna to represent them as she is an honest and knowledgeable attorney that will ensure you get the outcome you are looking for.
