When you need someone who can understand you and who can speak for you in another language, Natasha is the attorney to contact.

Natasha has soared all the way from Moscow, Russia, to your corner of the world. Along with her family, she immigrated to Brooklyn, New York, when she was young. Having started school in the United States, she was the only one in the family who spoke English. She quickly became the spokesperson for the family, navigating the labyrinth of laws in her new country.

Jumping feet first made her savvy about government and sensitive to the confusion these bureaucracies can create in recent immigrants. Having grown up speaking Russian and English, Natasha developed a knack for languages, and quickly taught herself Spanish as well.
