Great Immigration Attorney

After consulting several immigration attorneys in early 2012 I discovered Michael Markovitch. I had just married overseas in December of 2011 and needed to get my wife to the states. During our first meeting it was clear the Michael was very knowledgeable of the immigration process and had answered m...y questions very completely and professionally. Michael warned us that the immigration procedures were very time-consuming and my wife and I were prepared for this. Once the very long process was done, we received our US Embassy interview appointment rather quickly. I flew to be with my wife. We were interviewed together by a very well-spoken and very articulate interviewer who was fluent in both our languages. After the interview the interviewer said to my wife, "Welcome To America". We received her Visa in about a week. Upon arriving at JFK in New York, her info was "in the system" and my wife was given a cursory interview and we were FINALLY together!!!!!!! Within 2 weeks my wife received her green card and within another week or so she received her SS card. My wife was settling in to our new life in America with all the documents needed. My wife found work within 6 weeks of arriving. We feel that Michael was instrumental in making sure that all the T's were crossed and I's we're dotted making my wife's transition as smooth as possible. We have already recommended Michael to at least a dozen people in the same or similar situation. My wife and are are very grateful to Mr Markovitch's legal immigration representation. Thank You Micheal. Sincerely, Raul & Natalia

Really really happy client!

I hired Michael last year after my previous lawyer wasn't really helpful with my case. After one meeting with Michael he knew how to handle my case and gave me new hope in hopeless situation. I am 100% happy with his services and finally getting my green card after 2 years of waiting.
