Obținerea vizei de familie.

Doresc să îi mulțumesc din toată inima doamnei avocate Cristina Dolinta pentru sprijinul oferit în procesul de obținere a vizei de familie (spouse visa). A fost o adevărată profesionistă, mereu atentă la detalii, răbdătoare și clară în explicații, făcând ca tot acest proces complex să devină mai ușor de înțeles și de parcurs.

Implicarea, seriozitatea și empatia cu care tratează fiecare caz în parte m-au făcut să mă simt încrezătoare și susținută la fiecare pas. Răspunsurile au fost întotdeauna prompte și bine argumentate, iar totul s-a desfășurat într-un mod organizat și eficient.

Recomand cu toată încrederea serviciile doamnei Cristina Dolinta tuturor celor care au nevoie de o avocată dedicată, care lucrează cu pasiune și profesionalism. Îi sunt profund recunoscătoare pentru tot ajutorul oferit!❤️

Big thank you to the sterling law and Halyna Semchak

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Sterling Law, and especially to my lawyer Halyna Semchak, for their incredible support throughout my humanitarian protection case.

From the very beginning, Halyna was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. She explained every step clearly, helped me gather and present all necessary documents, and guided me through both the initial and substantive interviews with great care and professionalism.

It was a very emotional and uncertain time for me, but Halyna made me feel heard, respected, and safe. Her dedication and personal approach gave me confidence in a process that felt overwhelming at times.

Thanks to her hard work, I received a positive decision on my case — something that has changed my life and given me the chance to live in the UK with hope for the future.

I am truly grateful for everything Sterling Law has done for me and would highly recommend them who needs help with immigration matters.

British citizenship

I had the pleasure of working with Vasyl on a recent legal matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the support he provided. From the outset, he was professional, knowledgeable, and highly efficient. He quickly understood the complexities of my case and offered clear, practical advice that helped guide me through the process with confidence.

Vasyl's communication was always timely and thorough, ensuring I was well-informed at every stage. His attention to detail and dedication to achieving a favorable outcome were truly impressive. Thanks to his efforts, the matter was resolved smoothly and effectively.

I highly recommend Vasyl to anyone in need of legal assistance. His expertise and commitment to client service set him apart.

Uk Visa’s support

I had the pleasure of working with Diana Bondarenko while applying for a UK tourist visa to attend a summer school program. Throughout the entire process, she provided invaluable support : from reviewing my documents to assisting with the visa application and answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. Thanks to her guidance and professionalism, I successfully obtained my visa. I highly recommend her services to anyone navigating the visa application process.

Unmarried Partner Visa

I can't stress enough how much legal business usually frustrates me, but Lazlso's efficient communication, moral support, and professionalism freed me from this anxiety. My partner and I are very grateful to Laszlo for his assistance with our Unmarried partner application. Starting with the initial call, the whole process went incredibly smoothly. Laszlo carefully studied the specifics of our case and guided us through the process of collecting the documents accordingly. Our chances of getting a successful visa letter were greatly increased by him, and we'll reach out to Laszlo again for further visa applications.

Хочу выразить огромную благодарность компании Sterling Law в лице Отабека Гулямова за круглосуточную профессиональную поддержку по всем визовым вопросам в непростой для нашей семьи ситуации!!! Мы получили не только высококвалифицированную помощь и массу ценных советов, но и огромное человеческое участие! Спасибо вам!🙏

Я представляю эту рекомендацию в знак признания способных,компетентных и адекватных юридических услуг, которые мне предоставила компания Law Sterling .Руслан Косоренко и его команда очень профессиональны.
Все адвокаты этой компании работают с огромной честностью,талантом,профессионализмом и навыками работы с людьми.
Хочу выразить огромную благодарность Оксане Демирчук.
Излишне говорить, что мое иммиграционное дело было очень
сложным и не раз отклонялось Home Office.
Оксана очень знающий, понимающий, добрый и поддерживающий юрист. Профессионализм у Оксаны очень сильный. Через множество судебных слушаний и с большими усилиями Оксана и ее коллега Michael Carter разрешили мое дело! Огромное спасибо Оксана Вам! Спасибо огромное и Michael!
Я очень благодарна компании Law Sterling! Руслан и его команда рассматривают каждое дело с предельной внимательностью и не успокоятся, пока не исчерпают все возможности и не добьются успеха!Я рекомендую эту компанию всем тем, кому нужна помощь в иммиграционных делах.
