About Victoria
Victoria Ledeneva earned an LL.M. from St. John’s University School of Law in 2011. Her graduate legal training in New York set the stage for a career centered on immigration matters. She is licensed to practice in New York and has built experience in both private practice and short-term engagements with larger firms.
She began practicing as an immigration lawyer in 2012 at the Law Office of Victoria Ledeneva. That early period involved opening her own practice and handling a range of immigration issues for clients who needed direct counsel and representation. Running a small office required managing both the legal work and the practical steps of client intake and case preparation.
In 2017 she took on contract work at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP. In the same year she served as a temporary immigration lawyer at Robinson & Cole, LLP. Those roles placed her inside firm environments that handle high volumes of immigration matters. She worked under the timelines and procedures common to larger immigration teams and supported matters that required coordination with in-house or external counsel.
On the professional association front, Ledeneva joined the American Immigration Lawyers Association in 2020 and remains a member. Earlier she held memberships in the New York State Bar Association and the American Bar Association from 2012 through 2015. Those affiliations reflect engagement with professional networks that provide continuing education and policy updates for immigration practitioners.
Colleagues and clients have noted that her practice involves the typical tasks of immigration counsel: advising on eligibility, preparing petitions and applications, and guiding clients through procedural steps. She has handled matters for individuals and represented clients in transactional and case-driven situations. Her background includes both the autonomy of private practice and the workflow of larger firms.
Ledeneva’s career path shows a mix of independent practice and temporary placements that broadened her exposure to different firm structures and client needs. She continues to work in immigration law and maintains a practice focusing on immigration matters.
