Александр Вощинский (Alexander Voschinsky)
Alexander Voschinsky (The Law Offices of David M. Sturman, California) is a Russian-speaking immigration attorney; he works with the O-1 talent visa as well as asylum, employment- and family-based immigration. The community has only a few reviews of him, but there is a confirmed O-1/O-2 approval (the visa was issued in Belgrade) and positive impressions of his correspondence; on Avvo there are reviews of an attentive, detail-oriented approach and interview prep. Things to watch: working communication is mostly in English, and there is little first-hand feedback in the Russian-language chats - it makes sense to ask for experience on O-1/EB-1 relevant to your field and to check his current status on Avvo and in the California attorney registry.

- -There is little first-hand feedback in the Russian-language chats - mostly 'has anyone worked with him?' rather than detailed experience
- -The firm's profile is broader than the talent visas (asylum, family, employment) - ask for experience specific to O-1/EB-1
- -Pricing and format are not published in reviews - clarify directly and check the current status on Avvo and the CA registry

Negative (4)
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified7/15/2025
In 2025 people again asked in the chats who had worked with Alexander Voschinsky, and detailed answers were almost absent. There is still little first-hand feedback specifically on the talent visas in the Russian-language community, so plan to gather the experience yourself.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/19/2025
A few times in the chats people asked whether anyone had worked with Alexander Voschinsky in substance, and detailed reviews were almost absent. There is still little first-hand feedback on the talent visas in the Russian-language community.
- Negative Yelp (Sturman & Associates)1/1/2024
The Sturman & Associates firm has dozens of mixed reviews on Yelp: alongside praise there are complaints about timelines and communication. The reviews are about the firm as a whole rather than this attorney personally - clarify exactly who will handle your case. (Summary of the public profile.)
source - Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified2/5/2023
Bear in mind that working communication is mostly in English, and the firm's profile is broader than the talent visas. A tip from the chat: ask up front for experience specific to O-1/EB-1 in your field.
