I-485 Employment based application

Michael was instrumental in getting my I-485 (Employment based) application to go through so smoothly. Michael and his firm not only worked with my company's HR department to ensure that everything was filed properly but also helped answer any of my questions throughout the adjustment of status appli...cation. Michael is incredibly reliable and responsive. What more can an applicant ask for? Any questions that I posed to Michael was answered instantly. During my interactions with Michael I realized that he was very well versed in immigration law and therefore I would certainly recommend companies and individuals alike to speak with Michael if there is an immigration case that needs an experienced, qualified & professional lawyer.

An absolute pleasure to work with!

I've been an immigrant for 7 years and throughout that time, I've had spoken to and hired multiple lawyers to work on my case. Working with Michael has been the most pleasurable experience. I've worked with large law offices, where you pay a lot for the big name on the door, while having a first year... associate work on your case and make mistakes like forgetting to get your signature and delay the approval of your case... Michael works by himself and he is 100% invested in every one of his cases.. Every time I called, I didn't need to remind him who I was, or what the situation was, he knew everything from the top of his head.. Immigration is very stressful, but going through the process with Michael makes you feel you have a friend walking you through it.. He would respond to my emails at 10pm, answer my phone calls at 6am, let me stop by in his office when I had questions or needed reassurance, and never did he charge me anything extra for any of it... I have been working with him for years, and every application he submitted on my behalf has been approved. The first one was what particularly impressed me, as it was a very difficult application which was very unlikely to be approved, and he was honest with me about it, but worked tirelessly regardless, and accomplished the impossible.. Since then, I knew I would work with him in every future case. It wasn't easy, as it never is, I had multiple frustrating situations such as my card getting lost in the mail, then finally receiving it, but my last name was misspelled, the result of which was having to submit 3 different applications for the same thing, in the course of 6 months.. Michael only charged me for the one, and worked on the other 2, even though the problems were not by fault of his own, but the postal office and USCIS... I could write all day and still not say enough about what a pleasure working with him has been, throughout all the stress and uncertainty of the immigration process.. This is a very personal, extremely long, life changing experience for immigrants, and of course, we all want a great lawyer, which Michael undoubtedly is, but we also want a friendly voice to go to... I could not recommend Michael enough and I can't wait to work with him again when it's time for me to apply for my citizenship.

The Answer

I asked for the Lord's guidance first to find a kind-hearted lawyer who will help me in filling my permanent residency and Michael Goldman was the answer I got. He is very thorough with the paperwork as long as you also helpful in providing the required documents. He is caring and always available to... answer all your questions. His fee is also very reasonable and I feel like it's worth every penny. I'm very satisfied with his service. It's stress free when you have a lawyer like Michael. I highly recommend him if you have an immigration problem. Within 10 months from the day he filed my application and the processing of papers in the immigration office, I received my permanent resident card. Thank you Michael.

Top Notch--Highly recommended

Michael is the best around. His dedication, wealth of knowledge, communication, expertise and professionalisum is hard to come by and I would recommend him to anyone. His comforting and personable demeanor is also a big plus, especially when your in fear of what will happen next. My case was somewhat... complex, but Michael explained the process clearly and concisely to myself, my family and my other attorney every step of the way and I was successfully granted my immigration relief. Excellent work by a fantastic lawyer!!

The best immigration lawyer you will find

I hired Michael to help my daughter with her cancellation of removal petition. These times are not only heartbreaking but stressful and worrying. Hiring Michael Goldman was the essence of our successful outcome. Not only is Mr Goldman a master of his profession, his immigration knowledge is extensiv...e and his advice well researched and thorou. Michael will not promise anything he can't deliver. He does not fill you with false hopes or empty promises. He constructively identifies the options available to your situation and works steadfastly and diligently to deliver results. It is very hard to find people or even professionals that you can trust. I trusted Michael Goldman with my families life. If my daughter had been deported I would have found it hard to live each day without her physically in my presence. Bravo Michael, you were always there when we needed you. You were never to busy. You are a kind, understanding and compassionate lawyer who secured my daughters future in this country. For that words of thanks do not seem enough. My daughter is home where she belongs beginning her new life all thanks to Mr. Michael Z Goldman.
