Siana Jody McLean

My family contacted Siana because my husband received a notice of deportation. He had traveled out of the country and re-entered not knowing that a prior conviction made him ineligible for reentry. His immigration status, after 17 years of living legally in the US, was in jeopardy. It affected our en...tire family, kids included, as we waited for his case to make its way through the court. We knew that we had *one* chance to find and hire an immigration lawyer who was knowledgeable in the law, personable, and who could best represent us in Immigration Court in Buffalo. Siana was this person. From the first time we spoke with Siana, she made us feel at ease. There were a lot of moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and stress but Siana calmly talked us through all of those moments. Each time that we emailed or called Siana, we knew that we would get a prompt response and that our questions would be answered in a way that made the legal jargon easily understood. She was always available for any question we had and never made us feel like our questions were unimportant or trivial. Siana was a great communicator and was well organized. We always knew ahead of time about upcoming appointments and deadlines for documents. We had to appear in Buffalo four times. Each of those times, Siana had prepped us for what to expect in court. It took a lot of the anxiety away to know what the procedure would be in court each time. Siana arrived on time, she was prepared and ready to defend us. Her knowledge of immigration laws is impeccable. She knew the ins and outs of our situation and used that knowledge to give us the best chance of winning our case, which would allow my husband to stay in the US with his family. In front of the judge, she showed respect but we always felt Siana's confidence in her knowledge of the laws to defend our case. In September 2020, after nearly two years of working with Siana as our case made its way through the system, we won. It was a day that our family will never forget and we are forever grateful to Siana for her tireless work on our case. My husband's notice of deportation was canceled and he maintains his permanent residency in the United States. If you are faced with an immigration issue, I would highly recommend Siana. We were faced with an immigration situation that would have been life altering for our family. Siana worked with us and for us. She supported us and defended us- to a win and allowed us to keep our family together.
