O1 A Visa

I had bit of a stressful time understanding and getting a grip of the US immigration process, but Steve made this so simple and structured that I was feeling much confident as we moved along. I got my O1A visa approved, and stamping process done through a consulate in India. The whole process was sea...mless and really quick. I would recommend Steve and his law firm to anyone looking for their immigration requirements.

Excellent law firm!

Steve and his team were very professional and proactive. The team at SMA is comprised of highly skilled and knowledgeable attorneys who truly excel in their field. They took the time to listen attentively to my legal concerns and provided comprehensive guidance every step of the way.

Made a stressful time feel seamless

We worked with Steve and his team to obtain my green card and we cannot recommend them enough. The team, in particular Patrina, were very responsive and thorough. They made a stressful experience feel seamless. Thank you!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unresponsive, lack of communication and professionalism

I paid for one hour consultation and he left in the middle of the meeting, giving a poor advise regarding a straight forward case. Serious lack of professional communication, did not address our concerns and barely answered our questions.

Great and professional experience

Worked together with SMA law and my employer on an application for H1B working visa. Steve did amazing work and was diligent and very professional providing all details and updates. He made impossible possible. I was transferred from being an intern to a full time employee. Will enjoy NYC downtown fo...r the next 3 years. Thank you again.
