From there, Sergio pursued his professional law studies (J.D. Juris Doctor) at the University of Puerto Rico School of Law where, in addition to obtaining a legal education of excellence, he had the opportunity to participate in the Legal Aid Clinic and assist low-income clients in environmental cases of the highest public interest.

Subsequently, Sergio moved to the United States to work as a legal assistant to the prestigious American criminal lawyer of Catalan origin, Raymond Ejarque, in the city of Seattle, Washington where he had the opportunity to serve the Latino community in the northwestern United States in criminal cases before the state courts of that state. Sergio then returned to Puerto Rico where he established his own law firm specializing in criminal law. Recently, Sergio returned to the United States to join Jaime Barron's legal team to defend the rights of immigrants throughout the United States. Attorney Sergio also studied law in Latin America at the prestigious University of Chile Law School where he had the opportunity to familiarize himself with both the civil law system of the Republic of Chile and the nationality and immigration laws of the South American region.
