Before becoming an immigration lawyer, I worked as a journalist for the Miami Herald and Newsday. I also spent two years as a foreign correspondent in Central American in the early 1980s, a time of tremendous civil unrest and guerrilla warfare in the region. (That's also where I learned to speak Spanish!)
Since putting out my shingle in 1995, I have handled literally thousands of cases from clients throughout the world and from many different national and ethnic groups. We have won several groundbreaking decisions, including one involving three Honduran children that helped expand the boundaries of asylum law. I feel very fortunate to have been able to help so many immigrants gain legal status.
Our firm has expanded rapidly over the last 10 years to include four fully staffed offices on Long Island -- in Central Islip, Huntington Station, Riverhead and Hempstead. The vast majority of our attorneys and staff are immigrants or first-generation Americans. While most of our clients are Hispanic, we also represent immigrants from around the world in family-based and employment-based cases.
I and my staff strive to provide the best possible service to our clients at the most reasonable fee.

Why I recommend the office of David Sperling for Immigration issues
