Our Mission
What makes a good firm
excellent firm are its people. We are proud of our highly effective
and experienced team of attorneys, paralegals, and support
staff. Each member of our team is highly trained
professional specializing in a particular area of law. We provide
high-quality legal expertise, resources and support representing
ordinary people who may have limited resources. We distinguish
ourselves by providing personal approach to you and to your
case. At National Capital we place particular emphasis on accessibility,
personalized service and fast turnaround on all cases.
Our reputation was
built one client at a time, one case at a time, one trial at
a time. This is why majority of our clients come from referrals.
As part of our work, not only have we received substantial
results for our clients, our lawyers have authored legal
articles made presentations, and have been the subject of many
media reports, both on television and on the radio.
Even other law firms often subcontract our services.
Our practice concentrates
on:
Immigration Law,
including business and family immigration, work visas, asylum
law and deportation
Family Law,
including divorces, property division and alimony
Business Law,
including company formation, contracts and trade
Civil Law, including
landlord-tenant, small claims litigation, breach of contract
International Transactions,
including opening of foreign branches, foreign trade and customs
Serving Clients
Nationwide
We serve clients throughout
the United States for issues concerning immigration law. Immigration
law is federal and applies equally to all states. Most immigration
filings are done by mail. This allows us to successfully represent
clients wherever they live or do business. Thus, we
can represent you even if you live in a different state.
We utilize email, FedEx, fax, and phone extensively so distance
makes no difference in representing you while you are in-state
or far away. On the other hand, when there is a
need to represent you in court or other federal immigration
administrative agencies in person we are located in the area
where all of these agencies are concentrated .
For other areas of
law our attorneys are licensed in the States of Virginia, Maryland,
District of Columbia and New York. In addition, Attorney Elizabeth
Krukova is a member of the Court of Appeals for the 3d, 4 th
and 9 th Circuit. She is also a member of federal courts in
Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia, which allows her
to represent clients not only in state courts, but also in federal
courts concerning cases when one of the parties comes from out
of state, or where the amount of controversy exceeds $75,000
or when one of the parties in a law suit is a federal agency.
Washington D.C. area
is unique as it combines at least three jurisdictions: Virginia,
Maryland and District of Columbia. You have to have a lawyer
who can advise you how your out-of-state acts would affect you
in a neighboring state. If you have an international contract,
however, most likely it would be governed by the laws of the
state of New York Our lawyers are licensed to practice law in
all four states and are able to provide you the most comprehensive
legal advice.
