Natasha Chipiga

Meet Natasha Chipiga, a native Russian speaker who focuses her practice on the specialized fields of estate planning and probate administration. She has been at the forefront of serving the Russian community in South Florida for over 15 years. 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. While attending New York University, she studied abroad in London, giving her an even greater international perspective. After graduation, she worked at the technology company Earthlink in San Francisco. There she learned to translate tech talk and legalese to plain language. After a stellar career in the online and legal departments of large corporations such as American Express and MTV/Viacom, Natasha is now enjoying the more personal experience of working directly with clients from a broad range of cultures. Although she never learned how to make borscht, she learned the challenges foreigners and immigrants face in protecting their wealth within the United States.
