International Business Lawyer

I am a business owner operating in the food & beverage industry. Michele did a great job I assisted me in negotiating and drafting cross-border contracts with my international suppliers. He was highly professional and on top of his game throughout the entire process.

EB-1 visa - Green card for extraordinary abilities

Over the years we have consulted and hired different attorneys for different types of working visa. We finally came to ponder an EB-1 visa, and we eventually decided to apply for it. This visa, intended for aliens of extraordinary ability. is the most difficult kind of green card to obtain. We hired ...Michele Cea and we got our visa approved thanks to him. Mr Cea has been, by far, the most skilled and professional lawyer ever encountered by us, with a specific and unparalleled competence in this area. He was able to handle our petition in the best possible way. He is brilliant and passionate, and he has been extremely nice with us. We totally recommend him.

Michele Cea lawyer for my O-1

I am a professional artistic dancer and I hired Michele to prepare my O-1 application. He gathered all the documents and got in touch with my sponsor to prepare the application. He answered all my questions and made sure I would understand all the steps of the procedure. The Immigration Office approv...ed my application without demanding any clarification. I will refer Michele to many other artists who need an O-1 lawyer, as he is very expert in this field.
