This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

GC application

Hema helped me with my Green Card application as well as helped me submit evidence for a RFE. I couldn't have done this on my own. I will be coming back to this lawyer as she is very professional and I know I can rely on her.

Amazing lawyer.

I've worked with 2 lawyers before I decided to get in touch with Hema Sarang-Sieminski. Never had I felt so comfortable with a lawyer before from the very first second we met. She did a great job on my asylum case, stayed on top of it til the very end. Aside from that, Hema has a great personality an...d very easy to work with. There was always communication between the 2 of us as to what needs to be done for the best success. I am extremely happy with this lawyer and would totally recommend her to everyone who is in search for a professional.

Very good experience with Hema

A friend of mine referred me to Hema when my partner and I were looking to get married (I am not a US citizen). It was June 2013 and DOMA had just fallen. We were both giddy with joy and at the same time overwhelmed at what needed to be done for us to finally be together. We could not have asked for ...a more friendly, responsive and thoughtful attorney than Hema. From the start, she put us at ease and really helped us get through the rather exhausting process of applying for the K1 visa, getting through the myriad paper work requirements, getting married here in the US, applying for the work permit and finally, the GC. Through all this, Hema remained ever so friendly, accessible (I cannot stress enough how important this was to us) and very professional. Given the nature of our application, there were a couple of times when she did not have the answer to a specific query right away but she handled it very well letting us know that she'd check with other colleagues and get back to us. And she did! I do not have a yardstick to compare her work (no other experience with attorneys) but I have no doubt that we had a very good attorney on our side. Thank you Hema!!

The best immigration attorney I know

Immigration is a topic most people are usually afraid of. Having Attorney Hema holding your hand through the process is like having an angel carry you through the storm. I had the opportunity of working with Ms Hema and I have absolutely no regrets. She was my backbone; she carried my weigh and hers.... Because of her hard word, perseverance and dedication, I am today graduating from a green card holder to an U.S. citizen. Do not hesitate to hire my attorney. You will not regret hiring her at all. Thanks for all you've done and may blessings continue to fall upon you.

Knowledgeable and very professional lawyer

After bad experience working with different lawyers it was pleasure to work with Hema Sarang-Sieminski. Hema had worked on my VAWA case. She is very professional, well educated and responsible lawyer. She always keeps you updated. Hema gets back to you via email/phone within 24 hours (Have to admit..., most of the times it was within couple hours!). Hema answers all your questions. She filled and sent out my petition within a month! Hema actually goes with you to every interview (compare to some lawyers who just say it). I truly recommend this lawyer!
