I have been practicing immigration law since 1997. I maintain a small practice where I have a close relationship with my clients. If you hire me, I will be the person that works on your case. The primary focus of my practice is deporation defense. I handle cases in immigration court, before the Board of Immigraiton Appeals, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals. I also handle adjustment of status and naturalization cases. I have extensive experience in dealing with criminal immigration matters. I often consult with criminal lawyers regarding the immigration consequences of proposed plea agreements.

Matthew is a brilliant lawyer. I have hired him for my 751 case. I have hired lawyers for every step of my immigration case, but Matthew is unlike any lawyer I have met, and I guarantee that he is unlike lawyers you will ever meet. He is especially not your typical money-minded New York lawyer who ch...

I contacted Mr Guadagno. He returned my call the same day we even spoke the following day. He seem very knowledgeable in the field. Am looking forward to speaking to him in the future.
"I endorse this lawyer. Matthew is one of the most skilled immigration lawyers in the country. I have had the pleasure of observing his work as a ACC. If you have a complicated immigration matter a highly recommend this lawyer."
"I endorse Mr. Matthew Guadagno. I have worked under his supervision as a student clerk in 2005-2006. Mr. Guadagno's experience, attention to detail, and knowledge of the law is extraordinary and unmatched. His record of winning for his clients speaks for itself. Not only is he a superb attorney, he is also a very hard worker. Mr. Guadagno will do whatever it takes to advance his clients' interests. With each win, he is not only advancing the cause of one client, but has a global perspective on changing the law through the appellate process. It is not unusual for Mr. Guadagno to work on major cases and legal issues of his clients before the United States Court of Appeals or even the United States Supreme Court. He is a serious player in the field."
"I have known Matt since 2006 when he was a partner and I was a senior associate at a leading immigration law firm in Manhattan. We worked on numerous cases together, mostly complicated federal court cases and BIA appeals, pulling all nighters often, so I know Matt's ability and skills as an attorney firsthand. Matt is one of the brightest, hard working, and ethical immigration attorneys I know. In fact, Matt built the reputation of the law firm where we both worked by winning numerous precedents at U.S. Court of Appeals level, right below the U.S. Supreme Court. There are only a handful of immigration attorneys who have won as many precedents as Matt. Many immigration attorneys from all over the country contact Matt for guidance when they have no one to turn to for answers to tough questions. Any client would be lucky to have Matt as his/her attorney in complicated immigration matters."
"Matthew is an expert on federal litigation over immigration matters, especially for cases in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut area. He is a great litigator, respected by the judges and admired by his peers."
"Matthew is one of the best immigration lawyers in the country, and I highly recommend him. I met Matthew when I began working for a fast-paced NYC immigration law, where Matthew was my supervising attorney. Matthew taught me what I know about immigration law. He was patient and diligent on every project. Matthew is highly sought after in the immigration community for speaking engagements and for his knowledge of the federal court process. Matthew is an inspiration to all of us to be better immigration lawyers!"
