Exceptional Attorney

Michael Cataliotti is simply exceptional! From the moment I started working with him on my EB2-NIW process, I knew I was in good hands. He has a unique way of breaking down complex legal matters into something you can actually understand, all while making you feel completely supported throughout the ...entire process. What sets Michael apart is not just his expertise but also his genuine care for his clients. He doesn’t just see you as a case—he sees you as a person. His dedication and attention to detail made what initially felt like an overwhelming journey so much easier and less stressful. I’m incredibly grateful for all of his hard work and can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for an immigration attorney who truly goes above and beyond, Michael is your guy!

Business visa for professional athlete

I am a Russian professional athlete. I was offered a job at a sports club in the United States in the summer of 2016. My first conversation with Mr. Cataliotti was in August 2016 and it took 5 months for me to receive my visa. This was the perfect amount of time for me to attend the world champions...hip in February 2017 in California. First he analyzed my resume and suggested the type of visa I should applied for. We started to work on it right away. I felt no stress working with Mr. Cataliotti because he knew exactly what forms unneeded to fill out and his instructions were always clear and on time. He knows exactly what documents were needed for me to get my specific type of visa and how long it takes to get them and process them. Any questions I asked were answered clearly and right away. You can feel his caring and professionalism through the whole process. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Cataliotti. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him.

Having Michael As My Lawyer Is The Best Decision I've Made

I highly recommend consulting with and definitely hiring Michael as your attorney. I was amazed by how responsive he has been the whole time for my case. Sometimes I sent him emails late night or on weekends and I didn't expect that he always responded right away. And if he missed your call, he will ...follow up actively. He always answers your questions and discusses your options with you, even though some questions are personal matters that indirectly related to your case. As a matter of the fact, even before I hired him, I asked him many other legal questions and he always responded. He's a very patient and warm-hearted lawyer and he's willing to help you out even though you are not his client. Another thing is that Michael's fees are pretty reasonable as I did a comparison before I decided to hire him. When he was working on my case, he always kept me updated with the process and he was in charge of most work. I've heard some bad things about other lawyers of my friends, as they even ask my friends to write materials themselves. Michael, however, always organized everything himself. I've asked him a lot about what I could do, but he almost took care of everything. Moreover, he is a lawyer that who always goes an extra mile to optimize your documents. He has a very avant-garde way of collecting information as he used algorithm and computer science. Michael found something about me that I had no idea about before. What can be more important than having an active lawyer with the omnipotent capabilities of collecting information?

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
