Sergio Siderman was great!!

Sergio Siderman and the Siderman Firm got me out of trouble with ICE. I was detained and they got me out and helped me get my Visa. I was harassed and taunted and Sergio was the one who fought for me. I am forever grateful. He knew I couldn't afford the fee so he helped me with that too!! I only ...paid what I could!!! He is the best.

Special Attorney!!!

Sergio Siderman was our lawyer when we adopted and this guy checks on us every year for the anniversary of the event! He is so thoughtful and caring. He was able to help us adopt and never left ur side during the process. It takes a special person to be as dedicated as Mr. Sergio and we are h...appy he is part of our extended family. Thank you!!

True Talent

I was in dire need of a work permit and needed it rather quickly, as my time here was about to expire. I wasn't sure who to turn to, so a friend referred me to a couple of lawyers and I researched and check them all out. Sergio was the third of four lawyers that I talk to. He was very easy to talk to..., was honest about his fee and his process. I was successively able to obtain all of the documents required for my work permit, and he even worked with me on my payments. I could afford his work, and it was top notch.

Embraces Diversity and Ethics!

I hired Siderman to represent my kid who was in trouble and in danger of being deported. Upon taking the consultation, he almost didn't take our case!! He prides himself on integrity and ethics and would not take us if we had a criminal background not congruent with good citizenship. He advised t...hat some attorneys would take any case but the good ones fight for these who are good citizens. We were able to resolve our matter using Sergio and love the fact that he stands on the highest moral ground possible when advocating for clients!! THANK YOU

Superb Job handling Visa

I was on a 2 year waitlist for a Visa coming from Mexico City. 2 years. I thought I would never be able to visit. I talked to my cousin who was in US already and she referred me to Avvo. I looked high and low and called a few lawyers. Sergio was the only one who answered his direct line!! T...hat impressed me. So I went in for the consultation which cost nothing. We got started and I told him it was a 2 year wait. He didn't tell me but he knew he could beat that time. After a little over year, I had my visa. I was patient and he always called me to tell me what was happening. Thank you for all your help Sergio!

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.
