Welcome To Starchak Immigration Law Firm – A Client Centered Practice

Starchak Law Firm, PLLC is a law firm founded by me, Ilona Starchak. Immigration Law is my exclusive field of practice. I am licensed in the State of New York and practice Immigration Law in all fifty states and worldwide. Indeed, the practice of Immigration Law is more than just a job for me — it is my passion, my life.
I always cared about my clients deeply and wanted to serve them efficiently. That is why I was not interested in the way law practice usually performed by other attorneys: meeting with clients in expensive offices, passing rent for these offices into their clients in hefty bills for services. Meanwhile, their clients are left to talk to support staff, because their attorneys are too busy to return a phone call and keep clients on top of their cases. Instead, I decided to build a better firm, for the clients to have easy and secure 24/7 access to their cases and at a more affordable price. I embrace technology and innovation at every turn.
My clients can work seamlessly with me from anywhere in the world. A client communicates directly with me – never with paralegals or support staff. I also do not take many cases, so I can be on top of my workload, and deliver outstanding service in a fraction of the time that other firms may take.
Immigration law is complex. Its rules are strict, and each year they become stricter. Each year, we hear about more and more cases were some “notario,” or an immigration assistant took advantage of a person with limited English. That is why you need to find an immigration attorney you can trust.
I strongly believe that a lawyer’s role is to honestly advise her client of the risks involved in the client’s immigration issue. It can be very easy to tell the client what the client wants to hear, but unless advice is honest, the client will not receive her money’s worth for an attorney’s services. As your immigration lawyer, you can count on me. I know and appreciate your immigrant experience, I respect your time and hard-earned money. I will be a hard-working and dedicated advocate for all your immigration needs. I cannot guarantee the final result, but I can guarantee that I will FIGHT for you. I hate to make false promises, and if I cannot help you, I will let you know that right at the start. But if I accept your case, it will be based only on my belief that I can make a positive difference in helping you reach your immigration goals.
Every client coming to Starchak Law Firm IS my first priority and gets my diligent attention, compassion, and excellence. That is why I employ top-notch technologies in my practice. Starchak Law Firm offers its clients 24/7 access to their client file online with a secure client portal. Integration with the client portal allows Attorney Starchak and her clients to easily and securely share documents, relevant matters, bills, and messages with clients.
With my client portal, you do not have to call your lawyer’s office, asking for an update on your case – you can easily check all updates whenever you wish on your clients portal. You do not have to take notes on what documents you need to submit to your attorney – I provide a checklist which will stay permanently in your client portal, and you can cross it out when completed. You don’t have to take time off your job to bring copies of your documents to your attorney’s office or worse – to send them by email (which is unsafe) – with client’s portal you will upload all of your documents into a secure server. You will have 24/7 convenient access to all of your information.
I conduct business in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Please contact me to discuss your immigration and naturalization concerns. I care about you and am ready to help; let my experience benefit you.
