Rock of Gibraltar

Michael's knowledge and experience were striking from the very beginning and his personality and manner set one at ease on subjects that can sometimes be nerve-wracking. He draws creatively on his decades of experience, rather than simply falling back on them, to propose imaginative solutions. His de...votion to the law and its purposes and his high ethical standards are also impressive. As solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

Excellent Attorney

Michael is an excellent attorney. Honest, strait forward, and smart. His advice is valuable, understands immigration better than any attorney we met, and is helpful throughout the entire process. I would recommend him highly.

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.

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.
