Excellent Attorney-with Excellent Paralegal, Hulda!!

My name is Luis, and I remember my mother retaining the attorney in 2004 to represent me in immigration court. I was 13 years old when my case started. Throughout the years, my attorney filed different applications in order to help me obtain status in this country. My case went through many different... stages from Asylum in immigration court to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. In 2012, my adjustment was filed. However, it was delayed because of a terrible accident that I underwent. I was charged with a D.W.I. and I was given 3 years probation and am still on probation. I was charged with a misdemeanor. In the End, I was finally able to obtain my Green Card and if there is one person in the office who knows my case very well is the attorney's paralegal, Hulda. She help me though the whole process, she help me filed every application i need it to present to immigration. she was very helpful and understanding. I truly thank David Sperling for all the hard work done on my case since 2004 and for the great staff who truly cares about their clients. I would like to thank Hulda for the Hard work she did on my case. I am so thankful to the Law Office of David and to Hulda.

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.

Now I can dream bigger thanks to him, he does not quit on anything he tries and takes everything step by step to win the case.

Why I recommend the office of David Sperling for Immigration issues

I went to Mr Sperling to renew my residency and he recommended that I just become a citizen of the US. My fear was that I had made some mistakes in the past that showed up on my record and it may cause a problem, but the people handling my case let me know that this shouldn't be a problem since it wa...s in the past and I haven't been in any trouble since. I will be naturalized shortly and I can't thank David Sperling and his attentive staff enough.

"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."
