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 immigration lawyer

I discussed with Michael in February 2020 my options to get a permanent residency without asking for support from an employer. He evaluated my case and recommended an application for EB1A as a self-petitioner. Within a month Michael had prepared the petition with extensive documentation about my pers...onal and professional achievements. He filed the petition with Premium Processing and also concurrently my I-485 / EAD / Advanced Parole. Within 11 days my case was approved without any RFE. This was only possible because he is extremely experienced and knows exactly which documentation needs to be compiled in order to avoid RFEs. Additionally, Michael is extraordinarily organized and communicates very efficiently and clear what made the collaboration a real pleasure. Thank you very much Michael for your services! I highly recommend Michael for any immigration-related issue.

Michael was very helpful to my wife and me during our green card case. He walked us through every step of the process, made us feel comfortable, and brought our case to a successful conclusion.

PHENOMENAL on every level.

NO WORDS can describe how wonderful and professional Mr. Micheal Markovitch has been in handling my case. From start to finish, he has allowed me to feel assured and consistently confident in achieving a successful result while other immigration lawyers I had previously approached suggested my case w...as an impossibility. Not only has Micheal superseded expectations surrounding my case, both by result and time frame finalized, but his timely responses to my questions and communication made me feel at ease at every, single step of the way. I CANNOT RECOMMEND MICHEAL AS YOUR IMMIGRATION LAWYER ENOUGH, 100% EXCELLENT ON EVERY - SINGLE - LEVEL. Lastly, Micheal will not only be an immigration lawyer I recommend to others in need of assistance, but he will also remain a very dear friend of mine.
