About Ina

Ina Shtukar built a legal path that crosses state and federal practice. She earned her Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2018 after completing law studies that began in 2014. The law school shaped her early courtroom instincts and provided the grounding she would take into practice soon after graduation.

Her first professional role came in 2018 at Goodman McGuffey LLP, where she worked as a workers' compensation attorney. That early experience placed her in the thick of contested claims, administrative hearings and client counseling. Cases required careful attention to medical records, deadlines and statutory schemes. The work demanded persistence and a steady hand in hearings and negotiations.

Over the years Shtukar expanded the scope of her practice beyond workers' compensation. She is admitted to practice in North Carolina and South Carolina. She also appears before the Immigration Court and is admitted to the Federal Circuit. Those credentials reflect a practice that spans state and federal forums and that touches both civil and administrative proceedings.

Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and direct in court. She has maintained memberships in professional circles since the early 2020s, engaging with peers and administrative processes that shape practice in the region. Her legal training and early courtroom work inform how she approaches evidence and advocacy. She tends to prioritize clear records and practical strategies in hearings and filings.

Shtukar currently practices from the offices of BLACK & WHITE LAW, LLP. There she handles matters in the jurisdictions where she is admitted, including state cases in North and South Carolina and proceedings before the Immigration Court and the Federal Circuit. Her practice blends administrative advocacy and courtroom work tied to those admissions and the experience she developed at Goodman McGuffey LLP.
