Mr. Markovitch is the real deal

Michael is phenomenal. From my first encounter with him, I knew I am in good hands. From the day one, he explained the entire process, after analyzed carefully my situation and my options, and through the all process he was honest and direct. I feel completely secure in his abilities and most of a...ll  that he has my best interest in mind. He is knowledgeable and always available to answer questions and concerns, which is all anyone can ask for in an attorney. I highly recommend his services in a heartbeat. Michael is the real deal!

Knowledgable and Experienced, Highly Recommended

Michael was very knowledgable and helpful, even though our case was a little complicated especially in the beginning. He gave us the right advice from the start and made things easier for us. I am a little obsessive and kept emailing him a million questions on the weekends and off hours and he still ...answered me right away. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease which helped on stressful situations. He was there for us every step of the way during our case even more than he was required to. If you are looking for a great immigration lawyer I highly recommend Michael no matter how complicated your case may be. If there is ever any immigration advice I need I will go to Michael he knows his stuff. We were super happy with his services and couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.

Highly recommended!

Very professional and client oriented attorney. I used his services for my application. It wasn't an easy case, but with Michael's help and his good advice I received my documents in a shortest period of time.

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
