Best immigration Attorney on Long Island

Mr. Sperling is the best and most knowledgeable Immigration Attorney on Long Island. My wife and I have been with him for 15 years. We saw 4 or 5 different attorneys before we retained Mr. Sperling. My wife had an extremely difficult case that most of the attorneys said lets start right now but no... guarantee. From the start Mr. Sperling told us that we need to be patient and wait for the right moment to proceed with our motions. Everything he told us was accurate. He explains every detail to us so we fully understand what to expect. His staff of paralegals is outstanding. They were all terrific at communicating with me with documents that I needed and also assisted in obtaining tax documents for me that I needed. Everybody in the Huntington Station office and Central Islip office are very nice and professional. We did a lot of work over the last year with Arlene for the Green Card and Hullda for the Joint Motion To Reopen. Both are terrific to work with and so pleasant. We were happy to have such fine people to work with. Bottom line is if you live on Long Island and need an Immigration Attorney you should contact Mr. Sperling. He and his staff are the best.

From a Former Employee

First, some full disclosure: I was never a client of David Sperling, but I did work for him previously. So I got to see how he handled his whole client base, not just one individual client. The one thing that I will praise him most for is the fact that he cares about his clients and works hard for... them. He keeps his clients informed about the status of their cases. I don't remember seeing any cases that fell through the cracks. Further, Mr. Sperling knows the law. And if he doesn't, he has the tools to find the answer to an issue quickly and efficiently. Mr. Sperling is also very intelligent, and will sit down with for a consultation and explain to you what needs to be done in your case. The course that he chooses is usually the best possible argument that could have been made. I will not hesitate to recommend Mr. Sperling, because he will give you the competent legal representation that you need, and will diligently pursue your case and make sure that deadlines are met, forms are properly filed, all supporting evidence is submitted, and that you made the best possible argument for your case. In the end, this is exactly what you need in an immigration attorney.

"Passionate and dedicated As a long-time (32 years) practicioner in the field of US immigration law, I highly recommend Dave Sperling as a superb advocate for his clients. He is a passionate and dedicated attorney who zealously represents his clients, many of whom are Hispanic immigrants from Latin America. He speaks Spanish fluently, and has been widely recognized for his outstanding service to the immigrant community. Earlier this year, Dave went to Guatemala on a successful pro-bono mission to bring back a U.S. Citizen girl who had been effectively "deported" by immigraton authorities. The story was covered by media around the world. Dave is an excellent lawyer, and also is a very effective advocate for the immigrant community."
