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.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Michael is the most professional and knowledgeable lawyer I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. At the same time he is warm and caring. He has handled my immigration case, a not too simple case, without any hiccups. Michael was always available to answer my questions, give advice and provide more than en...ough information. After meeting Michael, there was never a doubt that I was in capable hands. Michael took care of my change of status immigration case. I would highly recommend him for your immigration needs.

The best immigration attorney

My naturalization process was extremely complicated and seemed to drag on forever until we were introduced to Michael H Markovitch. He simplified the process, was extremely supportive, informative, and gave excellent direction for us to follow. He helped us to expedite the process in the best manner... possible. He was always available and stayed in constant communication without us having to call. We would have not been able to do this without his help and professionalism. His experience and knowledge is not only reassuring but comforting if you have a complicated case. I would highly recommend Michael H Markovitch as your immigration attorney. My husband and I cannot thank him enough for helping me to become a United States citizen.

Highly Recommended

Michael is the best immigration Attorney in NYC. He is very professional and knowledgeable and was able to resolve several issues for my family related to Green Card process. Now he is helping me to work on my Permanent Resident application. Highly recommended!

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.
