Виолетта Мордухай
Violetta Mordukhai (Law Offices of Violetta B. Mordukhay, Encino, California) is an immigration attorney who helps with the EB-1A and O-1 talent visas, including the business track and creative fields. The community reports confirmed EB-1A approvals: clients note that she replies very quickly (by email and phone), is friendly, and does not pile on extra requirements beyond what is already gathered. A few caveats: services are expensive, and she has almost no public Avvo reviews - which often gives people in the chats pause, although individual clients confirm successful cases. Her California bar license (No. 219117) is active - the status can be checked on the state bar website. If you choose her, it is worth discussing the price up front and asking for relevant case examples in your field.

The lawyer is expensive. But absolutely amazing. Violetta handled everything in minutes, both via email and phone. She was always incredibly kind, polite, and positive.

For Mordukhai there are detailed reviews from real clients in the chats (for example, a person on the business track who wrote it "as it is"). Many for some reason are shy to share, but successful cases with her are confirmed.

I finished my immigration story on EB-1A with Violetta Mordukhai. The attorney is expensive but amazing: she replied within minutes by email and phone, always kindly. She did not ask for anything extra on top - I mostly worked with what was already gathered.

For an EB-1 case, Violetta from LA (Mordukhai) works fast and well. In the community she is called a proven choice, with successful client cases. The main caveat is the very high cost.

Our success: we reached out to Violetta Mordukhai in May, she reviewed the achievements (business track plus a spouse who is a theater art director). In September we filed EB-1A; two criteria were credited right away, two were pushed back, then we added more. The case went through.

I have heard a lot of good about her, but the price really stands out - so weigh up front whether it is worth that much in your particular case.

The attorney is very expensive, yet there is not a single Avvo review - that gives many people pause. It is worth discussing the price up front and asking for relevant case examples.

Even finding out the consultation fee in advance can be tricky - people in the chat periodically ask again for the current price. If you are considering her, confirm both the consultation rate and the full case cost before starting.
- Negative from the community (Telegram) unverified10/17/2022
People praise her and say there are no denials, but the price was quoted around 40 thousand for the green card - well above the market. Also note that at the start not all extra costs may be spelled out right away (for example additional PR articles), so ask for a full estimate.
