Highly recommend

Michael made the stressful process of applying for a green card for my wife extremely easy. He completed our application, prepared us for our interview, and attended the interview with us. From his familiarity with the immigration process and USCIS officers, to his professionalism and timely respo...nses, there's nothing more I could have asked for. I've recommended Michael to several friends, and will continue to work with Michael for any immigration needs.

MICHAEL MARKOVITCH AN OUTSTANDING IMMIGRATION LAWYER

I met with Michael Markovitch several years ago regarding a very complicated naturalization matter. My complicated case lasted for a long period of time and he systematically analyzed the correlation between the changes in the immigration policies and my specific issue and kept me posted on a monthl...y basis for the optimal timing of an application submission given his profound acquaintance with the insight of the immigration system and functioning. Michael was very knowledgeable and understanding as to the complexities I faced. He spent the time to carefully analyze and advise me as to the best way to proceed. Michael told me not to rush doing something which may adversely affect my immigration situation in the long run. He patiently worked on my case and thanks to Michael, we succeeded in me finally becoming a naturalized citizen. I have met and dealt with quite a few other attorneys in the past but i must say that michael Markovitch was the most competent, understanding and diligent from them all. I have recommended him to several of my friends and acquaintances and they all feel the same way about Michael.

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.

Based on my experience with Michael H Markovitch Law Offices, I can say without doubt that it is the best law office out there when it comes to immigration matter. I contacted Michel when filling for my adjustment of status. Within two days my case were send to the immigration and within 45 days I r...eceived my Work Authorization and Advance Parole. Not only Michael was swift at handling my case but he was professional and caring throughout the process. He responded quickly to my emails and the process gave me piece of mind. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in search of a best immigration lawyer. Don't just take my words for it. Give him a call.
