About Law Offices of Sergio J. Siderman

The Law Offices of Sergio J. Siderman is an immigration practice led by attorney Sergio J. Siderman, with its Los Angeles office on West Olympic Boulevard near Downtown. State Bar of California records show Siderman was admitted to the California bar in December 1997 and list Cornell as his law school. According to the firm, he was born in Argentina, came to the United States as a child in 1976 when his family fled persecution under the military regime, lived for a time without legal status, and later became a permanent resident and then a U.S. citizen. The firm says he holds a B.A. in political science with honors from the University of Southern California and a J.D. from Cornell Law School.

The firm describes its practice as limited to immigration law. The services it lists include family-based petitions, adjustment of status, green card renewal, naturalization and citizenship, work permits (Employment Authorization Documents), parole for relatives seeking to enter or return to the United States, cancellation of removal, political asylum, DACA and TPS applications and renewals, U visas and VAWA petitions for victims of crime or abuse, and representation of people detained by ICE or facing deportation proceedings.

Service is aimed primarily at Spanish-speaking clients. The firm says consultations are free and available in Spanish and English, and State Bar records list Spanish as a language spoken by Siderman and his staff. Its contact page gives office hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Besides Los Angeles, the firm lists California offices in Van Nuys, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Vista in San Diego County and Fresno, as well as offices in San Antonio, Texas, and Miami, Florida. It also publishes a Spanish-language podcast and blog on immigration topics.
