Richard, Pamela and the team at Shakenovsky & Associates have for the better part of 20 years handled all my legal requirements. I met Richard as a young 20 something year old chef, hoping get some guidance with Visas. Next thing I knew, problems solved, Visa approved and no stress. A few years ago, I was stranded overseas from Australia, away from my wife and 2 year old baby, Richard came through again and helped out. And most recently, Richard & team helped me through the paperwork and hoops required to get Australian citizenship. They're a great company, with extensive knowledge of what they're doing. Would 100% recommend to anyone that needs legal help. Thanks again Richard & team!
Richard is an exceptional immigration lawyer with more than 20 years of experience. Our case was extremely complex, was referred to the VACCU, and we even received a refusal. At one of the most difficult moments for our family, Richard prepared an outstanding, highly professional submission that gave us hope and the strongest possible chance of success. Thanks to his expertise, strategic approach, and unwavering dedication, our family was ultimately granted Australian Permanent Residency. We will always be grateful to Richard for his outstanding work and commitment. If you need an immigration lawyer for a difficult or high-stakes case, we cannot recommend him highly enough.

I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to your team, particularly Mr. Richard Shakenovsky, for your exceptional assistance in processing our working visa application. We're thrilled to have received approval, and we couldn't have done it without your expertise. I'd like to share a memorable experience from our first meeting with Mr. Shakenovsky. During our declaration of relationship interview, we were impressed by his warm and engaging demeanor. He listened attentively to our stories, offered valuable advice, and shared insightful life wisdom. My partner and I left the office feeling uplifted, and I jokingly remarked, 'We didn't just meet a lawyer, we also met a psychiatrist!' In all sincerity, thank you, Mr. Shakenovsky, and the entire team for your professionalism, guidance, and support throughout this process. Your dedication to your clients is truly appreciated

I would like to sincerely thank Richard and his team, especially Pamela for all their hard work and support in our more than 10-year journey to receiving Australian Permanent Residency. Our case was difficult and complicated and required not only a thinking-of-the-box approach but also extreme professionalism and confidence. Richard was the only immigration professional who deeply considered our immigration story and said yes, we can make it. He built a multi-stage strategy and carefully supported us throughout each stage. He very punctiliously worked with every single document, carefully built his communication with the Department of Immigration based on immigration law and foresaw possible arguments and questions. We are also very grateful for the constant assistance and support of Pamela. She was always in touch and sincerely cared about the outcome of our case. We highly recommend Richard and his team to those, whose case doesn't look straightforward and who are close to giving up on their dream to make Australia their home. I am sure Richard will find a lawful solution for you.
