Matthew Joseph Merrick

Matt assisted me with applying for my Green Card through marriage. I did not know anything about the process, and Matt was able to expertly guide me through the various forms and procedures. My case had a number of complicating factors that I initially thought would be big issues. Matt's reassuri...ng tones put my mind at ease that we would be able to work through the complexities. Matt was quick to respond to my numerous questions and was always helpful. He has a deep knowledge of the various timelines and who to follow up with. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough, and I would definitely use him again.

Firstly, this is the first and only review I have ever written and I truly hope that it will help you in making your decision. Matt Merrick is an exceptional lawyer, talented at his profession, personable, honest, and very diligent in his work. I have trusted him once, and would again trust him w...ith my life! I met Matt after a string of unfruitful encounters with several other immigration lawyers who were all unable or willing to take on my case. I was applying for a green card based on my marriage to a U.S. citizen, but it was a challenging case because of some criminal matters on my record from the United Kingdom, including a “Caution” for some charges that could create difficulty for me with U.S. immigration system. The other lawyers I had spoken to did not want to take the case because it was not a “sure thing” or because it would require in-depth research, planning, knowledge and plenty of skill and experience dealing with USCIS. Matt not only was willing to take on my case, but he rose to the challenge with an air of confidence and reassurance. His attitude lifted me from what was a dark and challenging experience. Matt gave me the assurance I needed so I could focus on my family life, knowing that the matter was in good hands. Matt was also always available to communicate with me directly, whenever I had questions or needed advice. After extensive efforts and due to Matt’s meticulous preparation of my adjustment of status application as well as preparing my wife and I for our immigration interview, I am so happy and grateful to be able to say that my Green Card application was approved. USCIS needed extra time to review the legal arguments Matt had prepared to show USCIS that the U.K. caution was not a conviction and that the other matters should not prevent me from becoming a lawful permanent resident of the United States. I recommend Matt without reservation and will continue to use him throughout the rest of my immigration processes.

obtain a green card for my husband. We always felt like we were in good hands. He coached us through providing the information needed for his team to produce a very thorough application -- even our USCIS interviewer noted this. His guidance throughout the process was first-rate. We highly recommend h...is services.

The process for my K-1 was smooth. Matt Merrick provided helpful, detailed information as to what was happening every step of the way and provided great advice when filling in forms (what to put, how to word it, what evidence to provide/not to provide). He was always friendly and responded to any iss...ue we had in good time. He made the process much faster and easier than I expected - he even contacted the embassy for me when my appointment date got confused (and helped sort it out.) Once I got to the US, he helped in the transition to a green card in next to no time; he estimated it would be about a year and I got it in a few months. Overall, Matt Merrick was an excellent lawyer.
