A worthy investment in myself

Hired Sergio to get my work permit in 2020. He got it done in a timely manner and without deception. I don't trust many lawyers and he was charming so it eased my anxiety. I was expecting the process to take longer since covid has everything backlogged but he fought through that. His best chara...cteristic is his tenacity. He ate obstacles for lunch. There was a hangup in my process due to my background and he helped me expedite that by addressing my background check. I spent my entire life savings when I hired Sergio and it was the best investment I have ever made. Investing in ME. He saw that and went above and beyond his duties. I plan to return to his office when it opens in Miami so I can say hi again. He has changed so many lives, including mine.

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.

Work Permit job well done

My aunt was super scared to find jobs that had benefits or working at places that asked “too many” questions. We searched and had bad experiences (one attorney took almost a year to file proper documents), but Sergio Siderman was able to cut our time in half. My aunt is legal to work in the US be...cause of Mr. Siderman. It took a third of the time. Mr. Siderman was also more reasonably priced!! We feel lucky to have found him and his firm. Bravo!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
