Amazing Immigration Lawyer that actually cares!

Michael H. Markovitch is an amazing attorney! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! His skills and suggestions led to the approval of my case. I would fully recommend his services to anyone that wants a great attorney that actually cares and knows the ins and outs of immigration law. Michael wa...s always available for any of my questions and very responsive, even while he was abroad. Best immigration lawyer in NYC by far!

Green Card Application

We would highly recommend Michael as an immigrant lawyer. He was tremendously helpful in my green card process. Through his dense knowledge of the law, our application process was very smooth and efficient. Thank you, Michael, highly appreciated :)

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.

Devoted professional lawyer

I would definitely recommend Michael as an immigrant lawyer. He helped my husband and me from the very beginning of submitting the case and all trough the preparation for the interview that went smooth. I really appreciate his help and professionalism and the fact that he really knows how the system ...works. Thank you Michael.

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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
