Client reviews

We created this Immigration Testimonial section to serve three very important functions. First, it allows current and former clients an opportunity to share their experiences with our immigration law firm including immigration attorney Eliza Grinberg, immigration attorney Alexander J. Segal, and immigration attorney Melsida Asatrian. Second, it allows potential immigrants an opportunity to hear directly from our clients about their experiences with our immigration law firm, their successes, and their opinions on our immigration attorneys and immigration lawyers support staff. Third, it allows our immigration law firm, both immigration attorneys and immigration lawyers support staff, to candidly learn more about our current and former clients’ experiences with our immigration law firm.

Me and my husband had a very difficult and complicated

Me and my husband had a very difficult and complicated case. My husband was ordered deported more that fifteen years ago by immigration Judge. We Thought we would never be able to have a normal life in the United States. All of this changed when we came to Eliza Grinberg back in 2010. Thanks to her, my husband is now a Permanent Resident. Eliza was always willing to answer any questions that we had and her office was always very supporting and helpful.

Best immigration attorney

If I’m asked to recommend a good immigration attorney, then, of course, will only recommend Alexandr Segal nd his office. Calm, gentle, honest, tactful, confident, immediately instills confidence in the positive resolution of the case. Thank you for that always kept me informed of all developments in my case, Thank you for the positive in my case! I find Segal’s office out of 10 others in New York and other states. My case was fail in individual hearing in immigration court. My previous attorney did not believe in the successful end. So i start to search for some one who could give me thread of hope. All I met shrugged but Segal was the one whom i could trust. Alexandr did incredible work. we won appeal after negative court decision. and then came back to court and get case granted. Want to say thank you! You made my life.

7 yeas ago I’ve received a letter from the Asylum Office

7 yeas ago I’ve received a letter from the Asylum Office in which I was ordered to appear before an immigration judge of the USA to show why I should not be removed from this country. I immediately started to look for an attorney in New York City who could adequately represent my interests in immigration court. I visited many law firms but for one or another reason I didn’t want to accept their services. In October of 2007 I read in one of NYC newspapers an ad about Eliza Grinberg & Alexander Segal law office and got on the phone with them. A few days later I met with Alexander Segal and had a conversation with him. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere of our conversation has left me in no doubt that he was the lawyer I was looking for. On the same day I signed a contract with this firm. As soon as the work on my case began I realized how complicated my case was and how much work the office was supposed to do in order to win this case. Dozens of requests to different government agencies and structures were made and as a result hundreds of pages of valuable evidential paperwork were obtained. Sometimes it seemed to me that the long-awaited victory would never come which made me feel disheartened. But then came the day of July 10 and the immigration judge said his long-awaited decision about granting me and my wife political asylum in the United States of America – and I still could not realize that this was not a dream! We want to warmly thank with all our hearts: Alexander Segal & Eliza Grinberg, who did the lion’s share of the work, Wendy, Konstantin and Melissa for their preparation work with me before the individual hearings. Besides that Melissa issued all necessary paperwork for obtaining Employment Authorization and some other documents for us. I want also to thank Ricardo, Oleg and Khasan for their kindness and readiness to help with appointments or any other issue when I called the office. We wish you all every success in your hard work for the benefit of the people waiting for your help!

Professional and effective

I contacted Alexander with a short question. That was after several other attorneys gave long and useless answers. Alexander gave a short and precise answer. I would fully trust him and recommend him to others.

Great experience

I worked with E. Grinberg as a second lawyer on the same immigration case (the first lawyer was A.J.Segal, they worked together). She was very straightforward and didn’t waste time for spare talking. She succesfully represented me at the court. She acheived the posivite results flawlessly and in a very short period of time. I appreciate her attitude towards my case and me personally.

Great experience

A. J. Segal was reffered to me by a friend of mine as a highly-professional lawyer in the immigration procedures. The first time I came to his office, he was very friendly. He listened to me very attentevely and gave a plan of actions. He didn’t rush me to make any decision and he didn’t advertise himself as a super professional lawyer you have to hire immediately. Nevertheless, after that first visit I knew right away that he is a perfect choice as a lawyer in my situation. I thought that this case will take quiet a long period of time, but A.J.Segal did everything possible to shorten the process. Instead of expected 1-2 years, it took only 10 months and the results were positive. That was beyond any expectations. The whole team of the lawyers in the office were working in impeccable way. They were giving me all the latest news on my case on time and there were acting very professional. I also was impressed that he appeared to be a great person. He is not only a highly professional lawyer who knows what’s he doing, but a friend who can give you great pieces of advice and support.

I came to Alex Segal with a very difficult case (seeking

I came to Alex Segal with a very difficult case (seeking a waiver of J-1 home residency requirement) that most other attorneys refused to even look at. Alex and his office approached it extremely seriously and with a lot of passion. Their expertise and persistence on my case were second to none! Our chances of getting the waiver were not high, but Alex and Melissa did everything possible and spared no effort to give it our best shot. As a result, the waiver was granted. I know this would not be possible with any other attorney/law firm.
