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.

The heavy weight Champion in the Immigration Arena !!!

Michael is first and for most a Gentleman and a "Mench", I have retained his services with quiet a complicated case, he guided and represented me to perfection, his projections were always accurate, He was always available, returning my calls even when I needed a shrink more than an attorney. alway...s professional, patient and with a calm manner. the scope of work included representation in Immigration Court, Michael was clearly appreciated and respected by the Judge, the DA and other officers of Court. Michael Guided me through that rough patch and made it as essay as it could possibly be. I am strongly recommending his services.

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

Great job!!

My experience with Mr. Markovitch was great. He has helped me with immigration issues. I had very complicated case. Immigration service denied my case so it was critically important for me to select the right lawyer. My opinion is that ultimate success of my case was in large measure due to his untir...ing efforts. He is working on my family member's case now and I know my family is in good hands. Mr. Markovitch deals with the customers in a very professional way. He is trustful lawyer and committed to the well-being of his clients. Mr. Markovitch works quickly and communicate very well. I definitely recommend him to my friends and family.
