A Certified Expert in the field!

Sergio has been in biz for over 20 years and it shows!! Hired him to obtain a work permit for my assistant who left and went to Ukraine to help his mother escape the war with Russia. Siderman got it done, quickly. The timeframe was surprisingly fast considering we expected a year or two. It too...k around 11 months which is lightning fast in these times. Very pleased.

Work Permit Genius

Consult was quick and Maria was honest about fee schedule. I needed my work permit and the US government was trying to get me to quit. Siderman was a true advocate for me and it turns out to be a fairly easy process. I was happy with the process and Sergio only charged me for the time he worke...d, not some made up figure. Glad I chose him. Work permits are not easy to get, especially after the pandemic. Good Work Siderman!

Sergio is the best

I found Siderman on a review website and was glad his name came up because I wasn't sure where to start. We first did a consultation then background check and then he went to work. He was diligent and determined. No obstacles stopped him. My case was intricate, I had arrests in my home country. ...He found a way to get me cleared after about a year and got me in position to obtain a work permit. Then he was able to do the same for my brother. He charged a decent fee and was truthful in his representations. My case is final and I am happy with the results.

Great Attorney

Hired Sergio to help me with business matters (dissolving a corporation and building a new business entity) years ago. I had a nasty bankruptcy and needed to bounce back. He helped me tremendously and I am forever grateful. I also had a recent immigration issue where I needed a work permit. I f...orgot that I had expired my previous one. He showed me the proper way to file and even filed many petitions himself. He has a huge client caseload and I was highly impressed that he was able to get my case resolved. I didn't;t pay a fortune but it definitely was worth a fortune. Thank you Mr. Siderman and the good people at Siderman Law.
