Kurt Saccone changed my life!!!

Kurt Saccone is absolutely one of the best lawyers in Buffalo, New York. I was placed in deportation proceedings and he was able to adjust my status to permanent resident. Mr. saccone goes the extra mile when assisting his clients. He was able to go back to my home country and gather evidence for my ...case and also put my family at ease. I would advise anyone going through this process to exercise patience even though it would seem very difficult. I was detained throughout that process for a very long time and it is easy to lose hope. Kurt was able to keep myself and my wife positive through that difficult time. I would recommend Kurt Saccone for any immigration situation, no matter how hopeless it might seem. I am living proof.

Best immigration lawyer around

Before finding Kurt through our friends lawyer who was unable to take our case at the time but recommended kurt we had another lawyer who had know clue what she was doing and had my husband pretty much on a one way ticket back to Brazil on his removal order. Since we hired Kurt he got the government ...to agree to a joint motion to reopen and we just found out yesterday the judge agreed to the joint motion to reopen as well. This means he no longer has a removal order and we can continue the process to my husbands green card. I owe kurt my life. Hes professional, knowledgeable with over 30 years in immigration law, he keeps you informed of your case status, he returns texts and phone calls within a timely matter and most of all he does what he says he going to do. You get what you pay for and this man deserves way more!! Thank you kurt!!!

Experience you can trust

My husband and I were facing an impossible situation with his immigration case. He had a final order of deportation after a failed asylum bid which his previous attorney did a poor job representing him at. He is being held at the Batavia Detention Center and I travel two and a half hours to visit him... twice a week. I reached out to many other attorneys asking for a second opinion and I always received the same answers "your husband's situation is impossible and I better get used to the idea he will be deported". I was crushed since I am pregnant with our first child and I lost my job. As we both lost all hope, my husband was recommended to reach out to Mr. Saccone for one more opinion. I was discouraged but gave Mr. Saccone a call. He was prompt to respond to my message and immediately began to look over our case. Within a few days of speaking with both my husband and I, he and his partner had a plan that could possibly help my husband. Kurt reached out to the guatemalan consulate which my husband's previous attorney failed to do and started working on my husband's case. Kurt and his partner Elizabeth were able to expedite our I-130 Family Application that we had done with the previous attorney and once having that approved, it opened up other options. It has been a very long road and an emotional rollercoaster but Kurt has been professional and has shown kindness and understanding when we needed it most. We are still fighting my husband's case but we both have full confidence that with Kurt as our attorney we will have success. I thank Kurt because my husband might actually have the opportunity to see his first born child being born and be there for her as she grows. If anyone is in need of an experienced attorney who will actually look at your case and take it serious, Kurt Saccone is the attorney I recommend.

Life Saver

I call Mr. Kurt Saccone a life saver. I had 5 days left to leave the country when one of my friends referred him to me. His professionalism, honesty, integrity, and knowledge made me believe in him; after going through so many lawyers in the capital region. He made me feel comfortable and safe and he... worked really hard to save me and my family. After 8 years, I'm still here running my business and supporting my sons financially and emotionally while they're in college. Without Mr. Saccone I would not be here and my sons would never have been able to go to college. Again, I call him... a life saver. He is the best thing to ever happen to me and my family. I wish him a lot of success with the new business that he opened in Schenectady, NY. I would recommend him over and over again, for the rest of my life.
