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.

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.
