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.

Thanks

Retainer in early 2020. We consulted and were highly impressed with Siderman but when he took the case we were astonished at how hard this man works even with a caseload as large as his is. He got me a work permit that allowed me gainful employment and changed my life. He called once a week to ...update me on my case and even answered on off days if I called his office.

  • 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.
