Green card

Going from O1 to green card, I was lost where to go. With so many immigration lawyers in New York City, a co worker recommended me Michael who has amazing track record And yes he has been amazing from get go. He understood my case and prepared all the documentation required to file for an EB1 and so...on every thing started falling in place. I am now at the last stage of my green card, just an interview to go but Michael successfully got me the EAD months back which allowed my wife to also work. Michael is very quick to reply to any questions and requests. He is calm, very focused and knows what he is doing. He will make things simpler to understand and has a great attitude, always optimistic. He has successfully got green cards for a lot of colleagues at work and I highly recommend Michael for any immigration case.

Recommended!

Attorney Micheal is helping me and my husband in our case for adjustment of status. He has been amazing and very helpful from the start, every question was answered and he explained the whole process to us. With everything that is going on and hear in the news, he made us feel secure and gave his val...uable suggestions. We have never needed to use a lawyer before and we are glad Micheal was our first & only choice. I recommend Micheal to anyone going through the immigration process.

Excellent lawyer, Really great guy.

I was making the transition from an O-1 to a Green Card, and met Michael with wife at the beginning of this process three years ago, and today I got the notice that I have a full green card approved! Michael really took the time with us to explain all of our options, what the costs and risks were ...with each decision, and was really a partner with us in getting this done. He was always available when I need him, was very transparent with his fees, and is also a very personable, likable guy. Even though the process is sometimes stressful, working with Michael was a great relief to us both, and we knew that we could rely on him. Michael interviewed us both, lodged all of the paperwork, made sure we had all the information, and came with us to the interviews. He was great and delivered on what he promised us, and we are happily living in New Jersey now with our two beautiful daughters because of it. Thanks Michael!

Great attorney

When I was looking for an immigration attorney for my case, first thing that I did, was to read other people’s reviews on internet. That is how I found Michael. He had great reviews and I’m very glad I chose him. He is an extremely professional person yet easy going. He gives good advice and answers... all the questions with all possible scenarios. Where there seems to be no solution, he finds it. For us immigrants, the case seems to look hopeless, but Michael, with his experience finds a solution. As a person who also works in legal field, I would highly recommend Michael.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
