My law firm and I proudly entrust our clients with Mr. Sidman and his stellar team. We are grateful to have such a talented colleague serving as an advocate in a very complex area of the law. As a law firm who represents many international companies and individual clients, we frequently rely on Mr. Sidman and his firm to assist our clients with their visas and related immigration issues here in the United States. Without Mr. Sidman, our clients would not be able to achieve their economic and legal objectives here in the United States. I highly recommend Mr. Sidman!

I have hired Bernard 3 times and each time he has delivered! He is extremely straight forward and knowledgable, as is his daughter Caroline! Having just received my green card approval, I could not be more grateful and highly recommend this firm!

I would highly recommend this lawyer and his team. From the moment I stepped into his office, I knew I had chosen the right immigration lawyer for me. He is completely honest and upfront , and will not spin you any line or just tell you what you want to hear. My case was quite complicated, but he totally put me at ease.. During the whole process Mr Sidman and his team (especially Caroline) were always available to answer my questions and concerns. I could not be more grateful for their guidance , and am beyond thrilled that my green card application was successful. I know this was due to their diligent and hard work on this. They truly care about their clients, which is hard to find nowadays. I honestly have no hesitation recommending them ,and have actually already done so...

Bernard was recommended to me by a friend and he did not disappoint! Efficient, knowledgeable, professional yet personable, Bernard always made himself available to provide guidance and support to me through the Green Card application process. I'd be more than happy to refer him to others.

We had a very very complex immigration case as our business had been running for a number of years in the US. An English colleague who retained Mr Sidman many years earlier recommended him to us. Bernard and his excellent team were straight to the point and very professional, they recommended the E2 route for my family and i. There did everything they promised for the price agreed and we came out of the US Embassy 6 months later with the outcome they predicted - a 5 year US E2 visa for my family and I. What more could one ask ...... I would recommend without hesitation Bernard Sidman Attorney at Law and his team, they are a no drama, to the point, professional, honest and reasonably priced practice that commit to what they promise to thier clients. Well Done Bernard and the Sidman Team, you have quite simply "Changed our lives"

Mr. Sidman came highly recommend by some of my colleagues and i can tell you I was not disappointed. My case was very difficult but he took it on and breezed through it. He explained everything to me every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. I couldnt ask for better service and i would recommend to him to anyone!

I recently got an E visa through Bernard’s office, It was a very difficult application requiring an awful lot of paperwork. Bernard and his associates worked really hard on the application (even when it was pretty stressful) and it was their thoroughness and attention to detail that ensured that it was successful. This is the second visa Bernard and his team have got for me and I would thoroughly recommend them. They are straight down the line, don’t make promises they can’t deliver on and don’t compromise on their standards when it comes to applications. They did a great job and I am incredibly grateful.

Bernard Sidman helped me get my first O1, then my green card and recently my citizenship. He is the only immigration lawyer I recommend to friends and clients seeking to work in the US. His firm only take cases that can win, most of the other lawyers take on cases regardless of the chance of success.

I was so happy with the service I received from this law firm. Between Bernie who was always available to take my calls and Caroline’s considered responses to my emails, I went through a smooth process in achieving my visa. All of their staff is thorough and ensure that the strongest visa application is submitted to avoid any delays. I will definitely be going back to them for my renewal.

The lawyer could care less about cases and clients he will tell you about how much he plans to help you before you hire him, then once you hire him he takes you to someone else and tells you they will be helping you from now on, anything you need speak to my daughter - I.e don't call me. After shelling out thousands on a lawyer who proposed to help you, they then tell you they won't be dealing with you. Typical cash hungry lawyer who only cares about making sales. Once you write the cheque they don't want to know anymore. Responsiveness is 1 but should be minus ten! Have to chase them- really bad choice. I read another bad review about them after I signed but hoped it wasn't true. Turns out it was!

Finding considerate, affordable and fair lawyers is always a challenging task and that is why I had to write this review for Mr. Bernard Sidman. Actually, this is my first review because I am so happy with his services that I hope it will also help others in a similar situation. I decided to come to this country three years ago with my seven-year-old daughter to pursue my dream of acting. One of my friends' suggested that I contact Mr. Sidman to work on my visa application, and as we applied, to my surprise I was denied entry, even though my file was more than good. And because he believed in my case and I already had the entire paperwork ready, Mr. Sidman applied one more time without charging me an additional processing fee. Within a week, I received a letter notifying me that my O- 1 visa was approved and that I could legally work in the U.S. As a result, six months ago, as my O- 1 visa was expiring, naturally I contacted Mr. Sidman to head my case and apply for the Green Card and O- 1 extension in case I was denied Green Card. Because I needed to have the freedom to travel on short notice, I consulted with Mr. Sidman to apply for the premium processing; however, we decided that it would be best to apply with the regular processing time as this also increased my chance of getting the positive answer. It's important that I also mention that throughout this very stressful period, Mr. Sidman was always available to speak to me, answer my questions and concerns and he always did his best to raise my confidence that everything would be all right. Sure enough, in exactly three months, I received my Green Card in the mail. While I was so ecstatic to receive the great news about my Green Card, Mr. Sidman also informed me that he is giving me back the fee for applying for the O- 1 extension because it was unnecessary. I really hope that this review will help others in choosing a lawyer when it comes to any issues related to the immigration and work visas. He will not only give you positive results, but he will also make the whole process more bearable. He truly cares and protects all of his clients so that these very stressful times are not half as bad.
