I would love to say thank you so much to Alexander. J.Segel attorney at law for taking my case and thank you so much for turning me into the great hands of attorney Melsida Astatrian, thank you Melsida Astatrian for staying with me to the end,I will very happy to recommend Melsida Astatrian and Alexander J Segal to every one that need the best service and representation for their immigration needs.

I strongly recommend the offices of Grinberg & Segal for any immigration issue. My case was handled by attorney Melsida Asatrian. I have no words to express my gratitude to her. Her knowledge, sincerity and dedication made me feel confident that I was in safe hands. She was always accessible and would patiently explain every detail. I never felt pressurized for anything. All my anxieties were put to rest by her thoughtful words and support. Everything was done professionally and in time. She even accompanied me to the interview for my Green Card. I feel lucky to have had her as my attorney throughout this entire process. It lasted two years and she never let me lose hope. Thanks to all at Grinberg &Segal!

I’m writing to recommend Wendy Barlow and Alexander Segal due to their excellent work that led to my asylum case being approved. This is my first experience working with attorneys and I’m glad I decided to hire them. In the free initial consultation, Alex let me know if I had viable case and explained the process. I then worked with Wendy to complete the application which was carefully and meticulously done. She ensured that the pertinent information for my case was included or highlighted, and the application was organized. She also thoroughly prepared me for the interview process, replicating the environment as much as possible. The practice interview sessions in addition to her critiques and recommendations helped tremendously with the interview.

They are both very professional, respond to emails and calls quickly and address all my concerns and questions throughout the process. Although I was working with both Wendy and Alex, they ensured that meetings were coordinated and I knew who I’d be working with and on what specific aspect of my asylum case. Based on conversations with them, it was evident that they are both knowledgeable about immigration law and are experienced. They are also very prompt on updating me on any correspondence they received from the USCIS concerning my application. I’d also like to thank other members of their team for their help with administrative aspects of the case. Again, I highly recommend them and will be hiring them to work on my asylum-based green card application in the future.

I want to thank Segal and Melsida for all the hard work they did according to my case. This group has helped many people and newly, including myself. I would recommend anyone who needs help with immigration to these people. Thank you again.

The best lawyers of New York for 100% sure. They are very intelligent, proficient, responsible, knowledgeable lawyers. Their attention and attitude to clients is excellent, The best lawyer that I ever seen

Mr. Segal was one of five attorneys I consulted with to help me with my naturalization case. Ultimately, I hired Mr. Segal to handle my case as it is clear within a short period of conversation with him that he knows a tremendous amount about immigration law and remains studious to staying abreast with the latest laws and statutes. Moreover, even though my naturalization case was anything but straightforward, Mr. Segal gave me the confidence he could help me achieve my dream of finally being naturalized (for frame of reference, one of the five attorneys I consulted with told me not to apply for naturalization due to the risk of deportation). Mr. Segal and his team helped me fill out the application and thoroughly prepped me for the naturalization interview. Due to the complexity of my case, Mr. Segal also accompanied me to my naturalization interview. To make a long story a little shorter, my application for naturalization was approved and I will be going to the Oath Ceremony this coming week. Without Mr. Segal's guidance, my application very well could have had a different outcome. I'm very glad I hired him and he is a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you, Mr. Segal (and team), for everything.

Good place to be

Very professional and respectful lawyers. Were able to prevent deportation and other immigration problems for my husband.

Great service and guidance. Very knowledgeable of their profession.

My case was very difficult and complicated.
First time I called in in the phone he carefully listened, clearly and openly explained my position and the legal facts as well as my chances. Then he and came with wise, logic and reliable guidance how I should prepare for it and what’s his strategy. This was even before we have a contract. His extensive experience and deep understanding was clear in every word.
When they took my case, it was given to Melsida Asatrian, the attorney at law. I felt I’m more than lucky and blessed because she was the one who prepare it. She simply made outstanding job, put effort reviewing and discussing every single detail in the correct direction to get it done. She willingly answered tons of my questions and guided me smoothly through each stage. She is extensively experience, professional, straight forward, reliable, honest, respectful and trustful.
I thank God that I chose this trustworthy law firm, I believe selecting them was one of the best decisions in my life and definitely recommend for any complicated difficult cases

Alex Segal assisted me with an employment based immigration matter. He was knowledgeable, professional and reliable. I would highly recommend utilizing his services.

I had a very complicated and complex immigration matter, years of struggle. My friend recommended Alexander Segal. Alex clearly described my situation, the consequences I was facing, he was very realistic, and I liked it. After years and years, I can proudly say, the problem is solved. I am finally legal in the United States. Thank you very much to The Law Offices of Grinberg and Segal, and their whole team for being there for me and with me throughout this very steep path.

Thanks a lot!!! I’ll recommend Alex to everyone who’s seeking professional help to solving their immigration problem.

Oyekemi.

Best immigration lawyer I met, Alexander knows what he is doing.

I was a client of Alexander Segal for five years. He worked on my case from the beginning until I was granted Permanent Resident status this year. I am grateful. If you`re looking for a reliable lawyer, then going to Alexander Segal is one of the best choices you can make. He`s a professional and knowledgeable. You can trust him without looking over your shoulder. He`s experienced, he has been practicing immigration law for decades. You won’t regret working with him.

Great!!!

Hi
I worked with Melsida Asatryan from December till February and Im thankful for her great job!
She is an amazing professional attorney and also very kind and polite person. She prepared me to interview. She made me confident with everything.
When we met at first time I didn’t realize what to do. She explained me all things step by step at every appointment.
And also I have to say that my case was approved.
So, thank you very much!!!

Came here to get a greencard application through spouse done and couldn't have asked for a better attorney. The whole team was clear and concise on what they needed from us and what the whole process was going to be like. They explained which documents they required from us and gave reasons why. Wendy was helpful every step of the way and responded to any questions we had, promptly and clearly. She was helpful before during and after the interview. We field our application successfully and received the green card shortly after the interview. Thanks to the team for their hard work. Highly recommend and will come back for any future cases regarding immigrations issues.

I was fighting for my green card for a long period of time . I went through a lot of obstacles and meet some very unprofessional attorneys. The whole process took a lot of money and years of my life unfortunately. I thought nothing would work for me and there is nobody out there who would be able to deal with my difficult immigration situation.
I remember the day my friend told me to get Mr. Segal consultation... Thanks God I did.
I started to work with Melsida Asatryan, ESQ and in a minute I saw her I knew it would work. I can not explain it , but I just knew it .
Not only she is the most knowledgeable attorney I came across . Her friendly personality and dedication to her job made me fell protected and confident.
I recommended her to all my friends and they can not be happier.
Everything was done right, everything on time . No pressure and tons of respect towards clients.
It was a big pleasure for me to work with this people and I would wish any person to hear words : your green card came , stop by at any time to pick it up !!!! And I have no doubt that in this office you will eventually hear this !
From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you so much for your work and support.. Melsida , Joyselin and others : you are my angels !!
All the best and good luck in your career and life .
Thank you!

I do not recommend this firm. If you do chose them, please, do not make the mistake I did in paying them in full at the beginning.

I have been a client of Alexander J. Segal for many years now. He is a good and reliable immigration lawyer. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. He is also honest to the point of being blunt, which is great when you are facing difficult decisions and need complete and accurate information to make them. It is in those situations that you realize how important those qualities are. It is when you need guidance, advice and competent representation that you begin to appreciate how important the lawyer. you had chosen is. I would recommend Attorney Segal to just about any person in need of a good immigration lawyer for consulting or to hire.

Professional Lawer and Amazing Individual

Eliza Grinberg is not only a professional, but also a very kind, pleasant and an amazing individual. My experience with her was absolutely great. I would recommend her to everyone who wants to go through immigration process smoothly and pleasantly.

I met with deceptive practice concerning price for case. Will not recommend this office!

I would contact him in future for any immigration consultation and recommend others as well.

(Translated by Google) Without exaggeration, I can say that of all the lawyers whom I met in the United States before starting work on my “Case” to obtain the status of “Refugee”, it was Alexander Seagal who seemed to me the most reliable! It was he who convinced me that together we can win. And the victory was not far off! I got the status of “Refugee” already from the interview and all thanks to Alexander and his professional team! Thank you for your help and support! You are the best!! Sincerely, Sergey Zusin

Я без преувеличения могу сказать, что из всех адвокатов которых я встречал в США перед тем, как начать работу над моим "Кейсом" по получению статуса "Беженца", именно Александр Сигал показался мне самым надёжным! Именно он убедил меня, что вместе мы сможем победить. И победа была не за горами! Я получил статус "Беженца" уже с интервью и всё благодаря Александру и его профессиональной команде! Спасибо вам за помощь и поддержку! Вы лучшие!! С Уважением, Зусин Сергей

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!

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.

I never had an encounter with the law until I faced immigration issues. I felt lost - until I spoke with Eliza Grinberg.

Ms. Grinberg skillfully and professionally presented my case in a timely manner. Ms. Grinberg is very intuitive to a client’s legal and other needs, and calmly communicates a strategic way forward in order that the client successfully achieve his or her goals.

With time, the grossly exaggerated issues unraveled before me because Ms. Grinberg proposed and implemented a plan that helped me achieve my goals with complete success.

Melissa, a colleague, listened to my numerous requests and kept me informed throughout the entire immigration process. In recognition of Ms. Grinberg’s preparation, persistence and personality, not only my immigration issues resolved successfully, but important family and domestic matters were resolved successfully as well.

I recommend without hesitation that one consult with Ms. Grinberg and share every necessary detail with her regarding one’s case. Then you must listen to her! Ms. Grinberg is there to help, and that is why I went from holding a green card to becoming a proud U.S. citizen – because of her and her diligent efforts on my behalf.

Ms. Grinberg receives my highest recommendation.

Ms. Grinberg’s fees are most reasonable, especially when compared to those of other lawyers.

Ms. Grinberg keeps her promises and shares only those suggestions that she deems relevant to the client’s best interests.

Thank you, Ms. Grinberg! Mazeltov!

I, just like many emigrants, thought that I had a very hard case. I am a Ukrainian, and me and my father had big problems in Ukraine back in the time, when nobody could even conceive an idea of bloodshed in the country. So when the misfortune hit us, I needed a shark, somebody, who would know all the ins and outs of the immigration law. So an acquaintance of mine recommended to turn to Eliza Grinberg, adding that this attorney won her case, with all the odds seemingly being against my friend. That fact convinced me. Eliza Grinberg works very efficiently, accurately and professionally. I definitely recommend to turn to the attorney to my friends, because I know the result will be delivered. I am so grateful to Eliza for getting my life back to me!

My husband and I hired Wendy five months ago to help me with my adjustment of status and green card process.

Wendy is very professional and was always available to answer any/all of my questions. She did an unbelievable job of explaining every step of the process. She took great care in organizing all of the necessary paperwork and making sure we had everything we needed.

It took only 4 ½ months for me to get my green card.

I would highly recommend Wendy.

I had to go to a number of lawyers before I could find one that I could relate and open up to like I could with Alexander Segal. With his warm and kind intentions, he truly works to reach his clients satisfaction and nothing less. Everything was perfect, they have a lovely office, easy to find.

Alexander accompanied me to every hearing, made me feel comfortable and confident and kept me up to date on all that was happening. Unfortunately life dealt me a hard hand in which I was about to get deported from the states after living her for 15 years but not having been born here, but not only did Alexander handle the matter and helped me avoid deportation, I even received my green card sooner than expected- something I've been working on for years with other lawyers who just couldn't get the job done.

The fee was very reasonable, and the service was worth every penny. Thank you so much Alexander, and I hope others are smart enough to come to you for help with a matter such as mine!

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.

Extremly satisfied with their job! Everything was just perfect! People are responsible for what they doing and saying! All paper work on a high level! If need to ask smth, u can just call or mail them and u will get a respond as soon as possible! Eliza is the person who knows her profession! She tryes to understand you and yours situation with all tiny details! Questions come with idea not just for wasting time! She made me upset couple times with serious and personal questions about me, but after i understood, she just made me strong! And on the court i was absolutly prepared and ready to go! Appreciated her for the business! All wishes!

I want to thank once again Alexander and Eliza for the great work they did. All the legal procedures went very smooth and fast, beyond any expectations. I'm very grateful that I chose this particular law office. Special thanks to A.J. Segal who support my mom and me a lot and helped us giving not only legal advises, but also friendly attitude.

Never again will come here. Office of non-professionals and losers.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Eliza Greenberg and her team (specially Khasan), thank you for helping me through this difficult path. Eliza and her team clearly know their job, friendly, high quality of professionalism I have never seen before. I want to wish you success,thank you!

Thank you so much Alexandr Segal and Eliza Grinberg and all of your professional and friendly stuff members. I cant describe how happy and free i feel now after you guys helped me and my girlfriend to go through all immigration issues!!!)))
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!))))

I've lived in US for 9 years trying to get my legalization papers. Had to deal with many immigration lawyers with no results, lots of promises, meaningless words and lots of wasted money. At some point I was sure I can't trust any of them and would live with no papers like rat in the hole, after another failed attempt I was referred to Alexander Segal. This is the most straight up person I've ever met. No "bs"- everything he says is real. He pays attention to every single little detail of you case. He doesn't give you empty hopes for a bright future, he just tell what to do and how to do it step by step. It took him one 22 minutes court hearing to get my wife and me what others could not do for so long. Thank you, Alexander, you broke my lawyer's stereotype.

I filled a political asylum case through Law Offices of Grinberg & Segal, which was granted to me back in 2010. Since then I have received my green card and have been finally able to feel firm ground under my feet. Nevertheless, the way to winning my case was neither easy, nor a short one.

Originally I have filled a case in Miami, but being unable to do a quality research I chose an attorney, that seemed legitimate enough. Unfortunately, my pleadings for political asylum were denied by the immigration officer, thus my case was transferred to the immigration court of Miami. My individual hearing was supposed to take place in two weeks. In case of denial I would have been deported immediately to the country, whose ruthless political regime is famous worldwide for political prisoners and kidnapped activists of opposition.

Attorney assistants and Madalon Law did a great job convincing me to proceed working with them as long as I was paying the bill. They were getting my money in timely manner and telling me fairy tales about my prosperous future after the trial. However, since my whole life was at stake, this time I did take a great deal of time to do a proper research. That’s when I found out that my judge had 94.3% denials in political asylum cases and my attorney was not much better either. I was lost, terrified and simply broke. My trial was taking place in 9 days and I just ran for my life living all the paid money behind. Nowadays I usually laugh, recalling these memories, but it was not that funny back then.

I found temporary shelter in Brooklyn, thanks to my friend Vladimir, who also advised me to call Alexander Segal immediately. Putting the efforts of his team together, Alexander Segal was able to urgently transfer my case to NYC and postpone it to a future date, enabling me to get ready for the trial. Alexander was exactly the opposite experience from the attorney at Madalon Law. He treated me not like a cash bag number, but as a human being with a problem, desperately looking for guidance and assistance. I have never heard bullshit promises or vague answers from him. He has always been HONEST and to the point, regardless of how harsh the truth sounded. On the other hand, he was incredibly humane and caring.
I was going through a nervous breakdown three days before the trial, and he allowed me to spend these days in his office from 9am to 5pm, getting constant assistance from him or his experienced teammates. I owe a big deal of gratitude to Alexander’s team, who appeared to be extremely knowledgeable, organized and scrupulous. They are well-trained professionals, who are enhanced by Alexander’s experience, but in no way helpless without it. Ivan (attorney assistant), alone, spotted six filing mistakes in the case, which entire Madalon Law team has looked through. I cannot thank all of them enough for the life that I have right now!!!

Now you, desperate reader, who is probably shopping around for deals right now. Regardless what attorney you go for, keep in mind, that your life depends on it, so make sure you stick with the professionals. DON’T TRICK YOURSELF, thinking that you can get the best at the lowest price and in the shortest time. I have spent a chunk of money and four years of my life to get to my green card, because I thought I am smarter than the whole world and can snatch out a deal. Alexander Segal became my guardian and savior!!! I hope you will find yours, good luck with your endeavors!!!

(Translated by Google) I express my deep gratitude to Alexander Seagal and all the staff of his office for the excellent work on my case. Arriving at this office, you immediately turn to a whole team of qualified lawyers who work as a united group. To successfully solve your problems, you need to contact only real professionals. And Alexander Seagal and his team are the best in their field. These are those whom you really should contact to get the result that you need. I went around many lawyers and thank fate for bringing me to Alexander. Contact Seagal’s office and you won’t regret it.

Обращайтесь в офис Сигала и вы не пожалеете.

I would like to say once again - I am extremely happy that I've met Alexander Segal and his deputy Ivan Savvine in the time I was in troubles and desperately needed help of immigration law professionals. And it's not only about their excellent professionalism. While they were working on my case I always felt that my attorneys believe they are helping me to fight for the right thing. I desperately needed to feel it to vin with my case. Especially after some unsuccessful experience with another lawyer who recommended me to make some stories for my case was looking more dramatic, didn't believe me, and finally did nothing.
Thank you so much guys, you are the BEST!!!

My husband was arrested and deported from U.S. April 2011. From that moment on, our entire lives turned upside down. My husband was in the country for 12 years and he had a voluntary deportation since 2001 which he did not obey.This is a scary and a long story, believe me. A week after the arrest, I went to Alexander J. Segal, an Immigration Lawyer whose office is located in New York City. He dealt with our case very carefully and wisely because it was a very complicated case. He got an approval for form I-130, which we've been waiting for 7 years, without an interview. He successfully prepared my husband for an interview with the American Consulate in Georgia and he successfully prepared and filed two waivers to Moscow to remove his deportation and let him back into U.S. All of this took exactly 15 months and now our family has been reunited and my husband just received a permanent Green Card. Of all the lawyers we've been to, Alexander J. Segal has been the only one who promised and successfully kept his promise of bringing back my husband. My husband says " Alex, you gave me a second chance to live and my entire family is grateful for this". We highly recommend Alexander J. Segal to anyone who has given up hope!
