Great Attorney

Mr. Lederman helped me with my immigration matters. I am glad that I had Mr. Lederman work on my permanent residency application. The quality of work is outstanding. He was very thorough and communicated with me frequently and patiently answered all my questions. His professionalism, attention to det...ails, guidance, and commitment regarding my case was excellent. Everything was completed on time to the utmost satisfaction. II’ll have to process additional immigration matters in couple years down the road and I’m definitely planning on having Mr. Lederman assist me with that.

Kevin Lederman - 10 out of 5 stars rating

Mr. Lederman and his office worked on my H1B visas / visa extension / Immigration Application (Green Card) for the last seven years. Very knowledgeable and helpful expert in the Immigration Law field. Always very prompt and responsive. Helped me and my employer to achieve our common goals followin...g the shortest and less complicated path than it could take. My highest recommendations. If I ever in need of a good advice in the Immigration Law, I will definitely contact Mr. Lederman and his office again.

Excellnt, timelyand accurate advice and service

Kevin and his staff managed our application for permanent resident status based on marriage. We are a same-sex couple. He was very knowledgeable about the process and requirements and kept us informed at every step of the way. I especially appreciated his guidance in collecting all the evidentiary... materials beforehand to submit with the basic forms. It was obvious that having that material available to the USCIS agent made the interview and approval process very simple. I heartily rtecommend Kevin for his expertise.

Outstanding immigration lawyer

Kevin is an outstanding immigration lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining all steps of the immigration process. My both citizenship and family green card applications were successful. I have been very happy with his and his staff's service and have far exceeded my expectations.... I would highly recommend Kevin for immigration service.

Immigration Excellence

Professional, Knowledgable, Trustworthy and deeply respectful. My partner and I have used Kevin for immigration support, at several key junctures in our move to the United States and over the last 8 years. He has always offered us the best advice, kept us abreast of changes in the law and how they a...pplied specifically to our situation. When the Federal law changed, Kevin helped facilitate us putting the best possible case forward for a same-sex spousal green card. We would highly and without any hesitation recommend Kevin Lederman and team!!!

Avvo Rating

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.
