She has successfully represented a multitude of culturally diverse clients from all over the world who are seeking immigrant and non-immigrant benefits, as well as relief from removal and deportation.

Irene is a third generation attorney. Her mother and grandfather were both attorneys in the former Soviet Union. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1992 to escape societal and religious persecution.
