Outstanding Law Office!

I am using this opportunity to express my gratitude to Alexander Segal, Wendy Barlow, and the rest of this amazing team! My road to obtaining permanent residency status was very long and hard. I was unfortunate to trust my asylum case to an attorney who did not know what he was doing. As the result..., my petition was denied and I was in removal proceedings. I made a decision to change my attorney, but was turned down by a few law offices who did not want to handle my complicated case. After being bounced around, I was lucky to be referred to Alexander Segal. From the very beginning, he was very straightforward and to the point as to what proceeding with my case would entail. He did not give me false promises, but clearly explained avenues we could pursue to try win the case. My immigration journey ended up lasting for years - through no fault of Mr. Segal or anyone else in the office. But even when it seemed that all was lost, he would not give up, but relentlessly pursued successful resolution. So here I am now, a permanent resident of this country, looking into my future with confidence and hope! I want to thank Alexander Segal once again for his professionalism, honesty and perseverance. I would also like to express my special appreciation to Wendy Barlow! Her deep knowledge of immigration law, coupled with kindness, sense of humor and empathy helped me get through this ordeal. I would not hesitate to recommend Alexander Segal and his associates as professionals one can trust with his/her most sensitive immigration matters.

Best immigration lawyer

I came with my case to attorney Segal after another attorney ruined my asylum case and I was about to be deported. He is a very knowledgeable straight forward person who told me right away that my chances are slim to none. He didn't sugar coat anything. He told me that the process will be long, exhau...sting, and expensive with a slim chance for success. He sent me home to think about it. One week later I decided to proceed with the case. I was very afraid to return to my county and was on the verge of being deported with what appeared to be a hopeless case. Here I am six years later as a permanent resident of this amazing country and no longer afraid. I would gladly recommend this attorney to any of my family and close friends.

Great Attorney and Highly Recommend

I’m writing to recommend Alexander Segal and his team due to their excellent work that led to my asylum case being approved. In the initial consultation, Alex was candid and let me know if I had viable case. He is very experienced, professional, and addressed all my concerns and questions throughout ...the process. His team and he are well coordinated and very prompt on updating me on any correspondence they received from the USCIS concerning my application. Additionally, he helped to prepare me for the interview which was extremely beneficial. Again, I highly recommend him and will be hiring him to work on my asylum-based green card application in the future.

Thank you to the EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!!!

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to Alexander Segal and his professional team: Wendy Barlow, Ricardo, etc. Around three years ago I was referred to the law office of Alexander Segal by my friend. It was the best idea to hire him as my attorney in my complicated political asylu...m case. From the first initial consultation, during the whole working and preparation process he proved himself as a professional, knowledgeable, experienced, detailed oriented immigration attorney that you can trust to and rely on. Anytime I had a question or doubt I could ask him and he always found time to respond me back and give the best advice during the meetings. He was easy reached by skype, phone or email too. Alexander Segal is straightforward and does not ’babysit’ you. He took my case seriously. At the beginning I felt a little bit overwhelmed but later I used to his pace because I understood that it was his own manner to help and prepare me to the interview. During your meetings you have to listen to him carefully and answer his questions precisely. He assists you in preparation to the interview but you have to put your part and be responsible and truthful. Along with Alexander Segal I would also like to thank other attorney Wendy Barlow who closely worked with me in preparation to my interview and assisted the interview in Lyndhurst, NJ. She made a considerable and valuable contribution in overall success of my case. Three years ago I believed in smart and intelligent Alexander Segal and his reliable team and they delivered. Together we achieved our goal. Last February I was granted political asylum from the interview after being in this country for more than twelve years. I greatly appreciate your assistance in achieving my dream. I sincerely recommend Alexander Segal to anybody who is seeking political asylum. I know that all cases are different but I can assure you that it does not matter how difficult and complicated your case is, Alexander Segal will try to do his best to win it.

I was granted asylum by the immigration judge in October 2016.During ...many years of working with Alexander ,I found him to be highly knowledgeable and very experienced attorney.A kind of lawyer one would want to have by his side in the time of difficulty.He is a decent and empathetic human being.As an attorney, he is exceptionally attentive to details and diligent in preparation.My hearing was long and I was well prepared thanks to Alexander.The hearing concerned several complicated legal issues which required briefing, legal arguments and of course preparation. He was outstanding .He has also managed to surround himself with very capable individuals working in his Firm.I am grateful to those of them who took park in the work on my matter. Now , I am finally a refugee and will eventually be able to become a citizen one day.My gratitude to Alexander and his Firm knows no boundaries given how complicated my case indeed was. Valentina
