Sergio did our immigration for Me, my husband and our two children. We hired him from the commercial we saw. He was the same honest guy we saw on tv. Free 1st time visit then it's off to work for him. He did everything and kept us updated for what to do next. He was working on our case while d...oing his others but it never felt like it. It felt like we were his most important clients and I know we were not. Thank you Sergio and the Siderman Law Firm.

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!

Superb!!!

Siderman and his firm helped me obtain a visa after years of fruitless efforts. Consult was free. Retained on a very reasonable fee and schedule. He was very reliable and communicated at every step of the way. The highlight was that he was able to help me with my personal background check and... fingerprints. A one stop shop, this firm changed my life for the better.

A New Life Thanks to Siderman Law

The Siderman Law firm helped me pivot into the next chapter of my life. I moved to the US from Asia and then Europe and when I came here, I wanted to stay. I found a place to live but needed a work permit and some other (I was completely unaware) documents. My friends were like "you need a lawye...r". I had a friend who went thru this with Siderman Law so it was a no brainer that I follow her path. I saw the great things he and his team were doing and decided to give him a try. The initial meeting was free and was very informative. I learned so much that day. I then had to get a background check and identity verification and we were off and running. The process for full citizenship is long but I'm well on my way. I have a work permit because of the hard work of Siderman. I have only paid for services rendered. I am extremely happy with Sergio Siderman and will use him for any matters that arise in the future. He helped me with my new life!

Excellent Work Siderman!

Mr. Siderman held a consultation at no cost for me and my wife to adopt a child from our home country. We are not able to have children on our own and need to fully understand the process. Mr. Siderman charged us nothing until we agreed to proceed with the process. He was fully transparent about... the process and was willing to refer us to another attorney if his process was not to our liking. We decided to use him and got the process done in a reasonable amount of time. We were charged fairly and the end result was a successful adoption!! We thank you and your network of attorneys and paralegals for everything you do!! Excellent job!!
