Greg Siskind

Siskind Susser is one of the best known immigration law firms in North America and its attorneys have experience handling all aspects of American immigration and nationality law. Siskind Susser also can assist clients with immigration matters outside the US. We are co-founders of Visalaw International - the Global Immigration Law Alliance and work with many of the world's top immigration specialists assisting companies and individuals relocate anywhere in the world. Our lawyers provide consultations to corporations and individuals on immigration law issues and handle cases before the government.

Because US immigration laws are federal in nature (i.e. no state or provincial law is involved), the attorneys of Siskind Susser are able to provide legal services to clients locating anywhere in the United States and Canada (and elsewhere via our Visalaw International affiliate firms). We have clients in nearly every US state and Canadian province, as well as countries all over the world. Our clients include several of the largest hospital systems in the US, the world's largest paper manufacturer, one of the world's best known entertainment companies, one of the largest hotel companies in the world, and one of the largest international nurse staffing companies in the United States.

Siskind Susser is a law firm committed to providing quality and efficient service. We constantly monitor developments in immigration law and use state-of-the-art technology for research, client communications and case management.

The firm also doesn't just sit back and react to changes in the law that affect our clients. We have played a leading role lobbying for a number of immigration-related bills over the last several years and Siskind Susser attorneys have drafted key sections of immigration laws and our firm also has assisted state and federal agencies in designing immigration-related regulations and guidelines.

The firm is widely recognized as one of the top immigration law firms in the United States. We are AV rated by Martindale Hubbell and we are listed as one of the best 15 immigration law practices in the United States by Chambers and Partners.

Siskind Susser has also been a pioneer on the Internet. Our firm's web site, which was launched in June, 1994, was the first immigration law firm web site and one of the very first law firm web sites in any category. Since then, it has remained one of the most immigration sites on the World Wide Web. Our site typically receives more than 1,000,000 hits every week from more than 150 different countries.
