ABOUT GREG SISKIND

Greg Siskind is a founding partner of Siskind Susser, PC – Immigration Lawyers, and has been practicing law since 1990. Greg began practicing law when he was 22 after receiving his bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University and his law degree from the University of Chicago.

In 1994, he created www.visalaw.com, the first immigration law firm website in the world. That same year, he began publishing Siskind’s Immigration Bulletin, a newsletter that was the first electronically distributed law firm newsletter.

GREG’S BIOGRAPHY

Greg is the author of seven books and hundreds of articles and book chapters. He is also the author of a number of immigration-related pieces of legislation and has testified as an expert in front of the US House of Representatives Immigration Subcommittee.

Siskind’s Immigration Bulletin is still going out to tens of thousands of people every month. In 1998, he became the first lawyer in the world with a blog and in 2016, he became one of the first lawyers to begin publishing artificial intelligence immigration tools for both lawyers and consumers.
