Hard working. Honest and Integral!!

After many consults with many lawyers, I had experiences that jaded me. I'm older so I can't play games with my citizenship status. My family needs me so I can't take chances. Sergio understood that. My previous immigration attorney swept me under the rug after collecting thousands in fees. Se...rgio only charged me for the work he did and I even had the option of payments. When it came time to execute thats exactly what he did. I first got my background check, then got my petitions and filings then got all the hearings done. I don't know the legal terms but thats the process. Why can't other lawyers be this nice?

Great Things Accomplished

I wasn't born in the States but got married and moved here (not 90 day fiancee but kinda close LOL). My husband and I had issues at the border because of our lack of planning and representation. I had to fly all the way back home to wait for the issues to be resolved!! What a nightmare. We hired... Sergio after seeing a testimonial at another wedding!! Our friends used Sergio to complete their marriage docs and get on with their lives. We had just gone thru our ordeal with border patrol so I wasn't excited about starting over. I'm sure glad we did. Sergio got it done and we were able to be officially married here in the US!!! I don't know why we didn't think of hiring him sooner or at least getting the referral sooner. Well, at least it got done. I can't wait to see Sergio again soon to give him a huge hug!!! Thank You!!!!!

Thank You

I am grateful to this attorney. He changed my life for good, forever!! Sergio was super cool and upfront about the cost. My case was simple, I needed a visa extension. I don't know what the document is called but his office specializes in immigration so I knew I was in good hands. I tried to ...do it myself and whoa, what a task!! I hired the Sergio Siderman Law firm in 2019 and also in 2021. I am writing a review because when I was searching I relied on the reviews. This guy is the real deal. I paid a few thousand less than other attorneys quoted (still, don't expect cheap AND good). Both times went very well and I am ecstatic about the results. I have my visa and I'm not poor in getting it. I used a payment plan that I could afford. I never had to see a judge or argue in front of a court. Very happy. I'm trying to get my mother in law to see him also.

Our Visas had expired

We had a death in the family and had to return to Thailand from US. We were worried that our expired Visas would cause an issue so we hired Mr. Siderman. He sorted our issues out in months and we were able to return without a problem.

Absolute best

The Law Offices of Sergio Siderman came to my rescue last year when I was facing deportation. I didn’t even know where to start. They sorted me out and I am now living legally in California. I was scared and they gave me confidence and comfort. I paid a fair price and it didn’t take long.
