An Amazing Lawyer

My husband was arrested and deported from U.S. April 2011. From that moment on, our entire lives turned upside down. My husband was in the country for 12 years and he had a voluntary deportation since 2001 which he did not obey.This is a scary and a long story, believe me. A week after the arrest, I ...went to Alexander J. Segal, an Immigration Lawyer whose office is located in New York City. He dealt with our case very carefully and wisely because it was a very complicated case. He got an approval for form I-130, which we've been waiting for 7 years, without an interview. He successfully prepared my husband for an interview with the American Consulate in Georgia and he successfully prepared and filed two waivers to Moscow to remove his deportation and let him back into U.S. All of this took exactly 15 months and now our family has been reunited and my husband just received a permanent Green Card. Of all the lawyers we've been to, Alexander J. Segal has been the only one who promised and successfully kept his promise of bringing back my husband. My husband says " Alex, you gave me a second chance to live and my entire family is grateful for this". We highly recommend Alexander J. Segal to anyone who has given up hope!

An expert in his area, an extremely charismatic attorney

I had a very complex deportation case; consulted several attorneys in New York and California. Mr. Segal was the only one who did not sugarcoat and did not lull me into a false sense of security. He was the one who explained the complications I was facing, yet I felt so secure with Mr. Segal and his... team. The process was long and painful, lasted approximately 4 years ( sometimes painfully long, especially if you terribly miss your parents, or even worse, unable to say the last goodbye to the people you love) . Finally, on April 28th, I entered the courtroom, calm and confident. It was because of my attorney's knowledge and charisma, and his excellent team that I can proudly say I am a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States!

Honest Client Review

In many instances I am sure clients have written many great things about there immigration attorneys. However, I am eager to inform everyone about Alexander J. Segal. Alex is very prepared in his level of expertise in the complex law of immigration. I can tell you that with all the years we have be...en fighting my husband's immigration battle ( Alex took on my husban's case while my husband was detained due to another attorneys negligence that wound up my husband getting detained by I.C.E.)With that being said I have had my share in looking and dealing with other immigration attorneys before I found Alexander J. SEGAL. I tell you with out a doubt in sight that there are far and few like him if any, this attorney is not only knowledgeable about his expertise but honest. I have always trusted his judgment and advice, it is easy to believe someone that not only sounds as if he knows what he does but also explains and make you understand the whole scope of things (I am very educated about immigration law from Alex) rather than just filing one option that you will not benefit from and leave you stranded. He is not like most attorneys that you call and never here from, Alex is always pleased to speak to you or call you back and never feels bothered. Alex takes pride in his work and as an immigrant himself understands all the immigrants that some how have become trapped in loop wholes or even just trying to adjust status in our nations immigration law and works hard for people to find there American Dream. He has been the one out of all I seeked while my husband was detained to tell myself he would try when all the other attorneys I went to at the time didn't want the aggravation of handling a horrifying case. I am please to inform Alex's determination and hard work paid of my husband has been home since then and Alex is still working diligently on adjusting status through myself a born U.S. Citizen. We were very fortunate to come across Alex and have him be our voice and eyes to guide us through this journey. If there are somethings to keep in mind when finding an immigration attorney they would be: find someone who finds there job important-who listens and explains to the fullest- who is not out just to ge your money- realize that the truth is hard to swallow in a bad situation but find someone to tell you the truth and not someone to sugar coat it for there lies- someone thats makes you important enough to be spoken to and called back. I can say once again without a doubt in mind the only person that I have come across that fits all this criteria is Attorney Alexander J.Segal..

THE BEST ATTORNEY

My case was screwed by my previous attorney so Mr. Segal had to fix it all. From the first day when Alexander started to work with me I had no doubt that we are going to win. And we did! Even though I live far away from NY Mr. Segal was able to make it work by communication via the phone and internet.... He also prepared me for the court very good so I was absolutely confident in myself and my attorney. And this is the most important thing! He does care about his clients and always has time to answer any questions or just talk to you if you are simply have a fears about your situation. He gave me a very bright future and I'm extremely thankful for it. If I ever will need an attorney again for any reason I will call Mr. Segal without a doubt. If anyone needs a great attorney Alexander J. Segal is the one. Thank you very much Alexander for everything you've done for me. I greatly appreciate it!
