Trustworthy attorney

You know you are in a good hand right after he handles the case. We are still in the process but finger cross that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Unique immigration case

Michael has been very helpful on my case. He is someone you can trust, he will give you straight answers and always has great advice. I highly recommend him.

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!

The best lawyer out there

I cannot thank Michael for all of the help that he provided to me my case required a lawyer who would be honest, reliable and sharp, Michael Markovit provided guidance and support throughout the whole process and was definitely a life changer for me. If anyone needs a lawyer who will be truthful, si...ncere, and ready to fight for you 100% Mr. Markovitch is the one to go too. Without his support and help I would not be where I am today. Things could have been very different. He's the best out there cannot speak highly enough about him.
