Excellente

Hired Sergio for an adoption. I adopted a child abandoned at a border and needs help right away. I could only be assisted by the absolute best. I was referred to see Sergio Siderman. He immediately got to work on my case after a brief consultation. My matter was resolved and I was able to proc...eed with the adoption in less than a year. A new beginning is all underway thanks to Mr. Siderman and his team. Excellent!!!

Hired in 2019

In 2019 I needed a work permit and then a student Visa. I was studying abroad and decided to continue my education and occupation in America. Coming from South America this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The pandemic slowed things down but I consulted with Sergio late in 2019 and he ha...d the ball rolling immediately. His paralegals constantly updated me on the process and were fully transparent. In 2020, the world closed so we were delayed. I waited patiently and Sergio and his team even offered to defer payment until we resumed. It was only a few months that passed when we were able to resume and it went fast after that. I was able to resume school even though it was online and to live in the US while I worked and studied. Well now I have finished school and am on my pathway to full citizenship thanks to the hard work and persistence of this great attorney and his crew. I love the work ethic and can't wait to see him again in his office. He's opening new locations everywhere so I know he's doing great things.

DONT GO HERE

DO NOT GO HERE ....We have been with this office of Sergio for over a year we paid everything they have asked. When we try to get information of our case we get nothing. Different phone number, different people, different Emails & nothing We paid everything. I feel this office takes on way to many c...ase for money then they can't handle it there all about money. It's very sad that people are really try to make a life and get papers and offices like this take advantage..... NO VAYAS AQUÍ....Llevamos más de un año con esta oficina de Sergio, pagamos todo lo que han pedido. Cuando tratamos de obtener información de nuestro caso no obtenemos nada. Número de teléfono diferente, personas diferentes, correos electrónicos diferentes y nada. Pagamos todo. Siento que esta oficina toma muchos casos por dinero y luego no pueden manejarlo todo por dinero. Es muy triste que la gente realmente trate de ganarse la vida y sacar papeles y oficinas como esta se aprovechen.

Horrible service

I set up an appointment for a consultation with the lawyer regarding my status. I showed up at the time of my appointment only to find out I had to wait more than two hours to be helped. I did not speak to a real lawyer. He was a paralegal and couldn’t give me a straight answer regarding my case. ... He said he would consult with the senior lawyer and get back to me within a week. Never heard back from this law firm. Very unprofessional. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. Really bad service.
