This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Extremely Unprofessional – Would Not Recommend

I scheduled an appointment with this attorney and took time off work to meet him at his office. When I arrived, he was not there and had not canceled or rescheduled our appointment. I tried calling him, but my call went straight to voicemail. He has never called me back or offered any kind of apology... or explanation. I found this to be incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful of my time. I would not recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable or responsible attorney.

Very professional

We hired Mr. Serbinin when we realized we'd submitted the wrong form to extend my foreign-born wife's green card. In hindsight, it was a big mistake to try to do this without professional help. Igor saved the day by completing all of the required documents for us in less than 24 hours, as there was... a rush to send the forms before her green card expired. He took care of everything, and allowed us to avoid what could have been a huge mess. He was extremely professional, diligent, and addressed our needs and concerns. It was a very smart decision on our part to engage him.

Hired for EB2-NIW green card - very good experience

The case that Igor prepared for my National interest waiver was approved without any additional requests for evidence or other problems. Igor was very helpful and always responded to my questions in a timely manner. His fees seemed reasonable to me.

Great Representative!

Igor has been my attorney for four years. He is very knowledgable, professional and available. My husband and I have enjoyed working with him and respect his approach to legal issues.

To give Honor where its due!

Mr Serbinin took up our case in court from another lawyer.He worked with us in the most time/money saving ways.We were able to send documents via email/post versus in person saving us a trip and savings on gas.He never missed a session,kept us informed and worked with us on payments.As case was lengt...h, on several occasions when i needed to touch base with him by email/phone call .He always responded and i got encouragement remarks from him every time.Our case had multiple paper trial and all of my family agreed that he was the most organised and neat lawyer we had worked with.The first time we met him was at a court date and it seemed we had seen him before.He was so warm towards us,had no trouble understanding my accent and gave us clear guidance and clear explanations of what our outcome meant, each time after court.Once,when he couldn't be at court because of prior commitment,he gave us another good lawyer to represent him. I am so thankful to Mr Serbinin and to Serbinin Law firm! I am so thankful to God that i was represented by him.Thank you Mr Serbinin. I have passed on his contact information to who ever asked me if i knew a good lawyer.I highly recommend him.It is very clear that he is a seasoned Lawyer who knows what needs to be done.The smile on his photo is real.He is very gracious and consistent.He is not discouraged by hindrances.Many times when i got frustrated and discouraged,he encouraged me.He also gave us good discounts on documents they had to print out at their firm.I have enjoyed a considerate and patient lawyer.We got victory both in court and the rest of immigration procedure.Its my pleasure and delight to give this review.if you hire him,you will have the same,good remarks!Excellent job Mr Serbinin! Thank you again!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
