Excellent lawyer

Had a good experience to work with Serge and his team. They’re honest, open, real. My immigration case was a lot of work and they were very specific about every detail, they made me gather as many documents as I could. Probably that’s why I received my green card even without interview. Such a reli...ef. So grateful to Serge and his assistants.

Expensive but excellent immigration lawyer

No miracles, just a very good job organizing and presenting our case (EB2 NIW). It took us 2 years from the first call to cards in hands. Total expenses (including medical exams and government’s fees) piled up well above 10k for the family of 4. There were also: a minor hiccup with medical exams exp...ired before our case was reviewed, an unannounced fee of 1k, and unexpectedly heavy workload on our part preparing documents. I know, it does not sound too good comparing to “I got my GC in three months for free!” fairytales, but so much better than all the terrible stories you can hear about lives screwed by mishandled applications. So, we decided not to gamble, and overall, we were very happy with our choice of attorney through the process, and obviously in the end : )

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
