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.

Thank You

Sergio Siderman helped me out in a way I could never do for myself. He got my Visa for me after a situation at my work caused me to overstay. He consulted me then I hired him. He worked on my case for about 8 months and I was able to pay as I go. He successfully extended my Visa and I am able... to live my life!

Sergio got it done

I went in for consult to get my marriage made official to bring my bride home. I was quoted an astronomical amount by a previous lawyer for some covid related excuse. I found Mr. Siderman on an ad and had to check the reviews. I really was not sure what to think because my situation wasn't a tri...cky one but still I couldn't go it alone. Sergio's office was kind, honest and upfront about what it would take to get this done. A few weeks after consult I decided to sign with the Siderman firm and got my case underway. It was a few short weeks before I was already receiving good news. What usually takes months took weeks and what usually costs a small fortune didn't. I was able to make payments in installments if I didn't;t have the money and at the end even received a discount!! My marriage is official and I can truly say that's because of the hard work and diligence of Sergio Siderman.

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?

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.
