Irina's greatest commitment is to fairness and justice. It is what compelled her to choose the law as her profession while she was yet a teenager. She pursued her goal, obtaining her Juris Doctorate, and then a Master's Degree.

For almost two decades, she has worked exclusively in the legal field in the area of immigration. It might have seemed like a fortuitous decision, Immigration Law was the most natural choice for Irina -- herself an immigrant to the United States. Irina cares deeply about the personal and humanitarian aspects of immigration, and the legal and personal impact that transitioning from one nation to another has on people's lives.
