About

Siana J. McLean informs her practice of immigration law with a potent combination of personal and legal experience. Her personal experience is derived from her struggle entering North America as a Jamaican immigrant and eventually securing the right to live, receive a quality education, and work in America. She understands the struggles and hardships those wishing to enter the U.S. go through on a personal level, and this understanding plays a central role in the way she works with clients and practices immigration law.Siana’s legal experience stems from countless hours spent aggressively and affordably defending clients regarding a range of immigration issues. She has successfully handled numerous immigration court matters and appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals which resulted in asylum, protection under the Convention Against Torture, withholding of removal, and cancellation of removal for clients. Siana is especially adept at resolving matters relating to deportation defense, family-based immigration, and naturalization-focused immigration, among other related matters.Beyond her legal experience, Siana’s strongest trait as an immigration law attorney is her tenacity as she fights for the rights of her clients and refuses to give an inch to opposing counsel. Additionally, just as no two immigration law matters are exactly the same, Siana recognizes that no two legal strategies should be exactly the same for her clients. This is why she works with clients to develop a custom approach to resolve immigration law matters.Siana’s legal expertise has halted deportation and secured U.S. citizenship for numerous clients. Her legal services are highly accessible as her office is located nearby the U.S./Canadian border and she provides free consultations and affordable flat fees.

I was introduced to her after dealing with an attorney who tried to just use me as a cash bucket. She assisted me where I left off and picked up the pieces. With all my emotions running high worried about my husband. She was thorough and gave it all her best efforts. I'm happy to say it's over and we won the final step we were hoping to cross.

Siana is brilliant, confident, highly knowledgeable, unbelievably well-behaved professional and a devoted lawyer. She is a rising star with a strongly likable personality who can get along with anybody. The best thing about Siana is her sincere and respectfulness. She will be your greatest advocate and believe in you. I felt very comfortable with her at all times and I could always lean on her in my most critical moments through a very challenge case. She did everything that she could to help me. If she accepts your case - you can stop worrying. She will take care of you and she will fight for you. She’s not like those other lawyers out there who just want your money and don’t care what happens to you or your case. That’s not her. I recommend Siana to anybody for their immigration cases.

My I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card) was rejected by USCIS in July. My only option left was to file an I-290B (A motion to reopen my case with the USCIS office that issued the decision). I was told by many that these cases are tough to win, & I was lucky enough to contact and speak with Siana about my case. She diligently and meticulously put together a strong case for me, and was available to answer any inquiries I had throughout the process. This month I received a notification that my I-90 was reopened, and shortly after my new card was produced. I can’t thank Siana enough, and would strongly recommend anyone facing an immigration issue to contact her and trust her with your case.

My family contacted Siana because my husband received a notice of deportation. He had traveled out of the country and re-entered not knowing that a prior conviction made him ineligible for reentry. His immigration status, after 17 years of living legally in the US, was in jeopardy. It affected our entire family, kids included, as we waited for his case to make its way through the court. We knew that we had *one* chance to find and hire an immigration lawyer who was knowledgeable in the law, personable, and who could best represent us in Immigration Court in Buffalo. Siana was this person. From the first time we spoke with Siana, she made us feel at ease. There were a lot of moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and stress but Siana calmly talked us through all of those moments. Each time that we emailed or called Siana, we knew that we would get a prompt response and that our questions would be answered in a way that made the legal jargon easily understood. She was always available for any question we had and never made us feel like our questions were unimportant or trivial. Siana was a great communicator and was well organized. We always knew ahead of time about upcoming appointments and deadlines for documents. We had to appear in Buffalo four times. Each of those times, Siana had prepped us for what to expect in court. It took a lot of the anxiety away to know what the procedure would be in court each time. Siana arrived on time, she was prepared and ready to defend us. Her knowledge of immigration laws is impeccable. She knew the ins and outs of our situation and used that knowledge to give us the best chance of winning our case, which would allow my husband to stay in the US with his family. In front of the judge, she showed respect but we always felt Siana's confidence in her knowledge of the laws to defend our case. In September 2020, after nearly two years of working with Siana as our case made its way through the system, we won. It was a day that our family will never forget and we are forever grateful to Siana for her tireless work on our case. My husband's notice of deportation was canceled and he maintains his permanent residency in the United States. If you are faced with an immigration issue, I would highly recommend Siana. We were faced with an immigration situation that would have been life altering for our family. Siana worked with us and for us. She supported us and defended us- to a win and allowed us to keep our family together.

Mrs McLean is an incredible person. She is very professional, reliable and patient! She genuinely care about her clients. I was detained and under deportation order when my husband hired Mrs McLean. She took my case right away. Came to where I was detained and assured me that she would do everything within the law to help me with my case and that she did. Two years later, I got my ten years green card. I am most grateful to her for all the hard work she did to make sure I was able to stayed with my family! I am highly satisfied and would definitely recommend her.
