Can't Thank Enough!

Sergio Siderman proved to be an exceptional immigration lawyer who guided us through a complex and challenging process with utmost professionalism and compassion. His expertise, clear communication, dedication, and empathetic approach were truly outstanding. Thanks to his efforts, my father's immigra...tion case was successfully resolved. I highly recommend Mr. Siderman to anyone in need of legal assistance in immigration matters.

Thank You Sergio!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sergio for my immigration services, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sergio was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, and he made what could have been a very stressful experience a lot easier. Sergio took the ti...me to fully understand my situation and provide me with tailored advice and guidance. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and he went above and beyond to ensure that my application was completed correctly and submitted on time. I cannot recommend Sergio enough for anyone in need of immigration services. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to his clients make him an exceptional choice. Thank you, Sergio, for your hard work and for making this experience a successful one.

Can't Thank Enough

Hired Siderman to get my work permit renewed. I was facing deportation and didn't even know!! He was able to run my background check to see all the issues I needed resolved. It was only then that I realized that I had neglected many filings an petitions. Thankfully, he was able to fix the issues... and not hurt my bank. He was thoughtful and communicates the entire way. Where would I be without Siderman.

Run from this place

Run from this place!! They do not care about your time, they don’t care about your case and they lie! Today they lied to us saying that we needed to go redeem our deposit by going in person to cancel our case because we had already cancelled via phone. They had us waiting 2 hours!!! What a ...sign of disrespect for others time and unprofessionalism. And then turns out the meeting was to convince us to stay and that they weren’t sure they could give us the deposit back. It doesn’t have to be this way which why I advise you don’t consult this office. We interviewed with 3 other attorneys and at all 3 we spoke directly to the attorney when at this office we never even saw Sergio!! We found a lawyer that actually cares about our case and charges three times more but he literally answers in less than hour and has explained the process step by step unlike this office who never ever told us exactly what was happening. Then they had the audacity to say that our other lawyer only had advanced our case because of the work they did. LIES. We confirmed this with all the other lawyers we interviewed with because they told us FOIAs we no longer taking as long as they had during the beginning of COVID because that’s the lie Sergio office always told us. Also it was always such a difficult task having to call the office to ask about your case. They would literally hang up on us and everyone that answered was rude. They would transfer our calls and no one would ever answer. And the response was always the same that it was slow because of COVID. I thought that that’s how all the lawyer green card experiences were but I was WRONG. This office is terrible I regret not cancelling sooner and starting my process with our current lawyer who responds immediately, is empathetic about our case and answers al our questions.
