Mikhail is extremely professional and what is even more important personable and very understanding. People in need for a lawer at vulnerable and fragile state of mind and confident and supportive lawer with personal touch is a life saver. I would totally recommend him to my family and friends.
I highly recommend M. Usher. I hired him for an inmigration case. He always was very professional and responsible. Even though we decided to not to continue with the case he always encouraged us to appeal at no extra cost. Mr. Usher is the most honest and and considerate lawyer I have known. I was supposed to keep making monthly payments until December and he waived me the monthly payments. You won't find lawyers like that anymore. He truly cares for the case and not just for the money. Thanks Mr. Usher.

I recently had my first online consultation with a lawyer and I must say that it was an excellent experience.

They took the time to listen to my concerns and provided me with detailed and informative responses.
Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my first online consultation with this lawyer, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-centered approach make them an exceptional choice for anyone seeking legal guidance.

Честность и открытость
Обратился по узкой специализации вопроса, и получил кратко и по существу консультацию. Удивило, что Михаил, поняв мой уровень запроса, посоветовал своего конкурента с формулировкой "он как раз на этом специализируется", хотя сам подобные задачи уже решал успешно. Я видел, как другие цепляются за клиента любыми способами, а Михаил меня этим приятно удивил и моментально заслужил доверия. Сохранил контакты и надеюсь с ним в дальнейшем сотрудничать.

Хорошая первичная консультация.
Быстро ответил на мое обращение, в тот же день созвонились. Была бесплатная вводная консультация по EB-2 и EB-2 NIW на которой я понял важные моменты по выбору визы и по формированию кейса. Mikhail подсказал варианты работы и профессий, которые можно рассмотреть по кейсу.

Knowledgeable, Honest, Principled
First, let me start off by saying that my case is very complicated. I'm an LPR that was granted by IJ based on the waiver that Political Asylums are qualified for. The waiver was related to my earlier conviction for an Aggravated Felony. More than 5 years have passed since I'm an LPR and I'm applying for a Citizenship. My chances of getting Citizenship with an Aggravated Felony are slim to none. I'm automatically barred based on my prior conviction.
I have a good understanding of the immigration law that pertains to my case. So my engagement with Mike was pretty technical. I spent a lot of money for many consultations with other attorneys prior to meeting Mike, but I haven't got such a detailed answer or such a passionate engagement. He gave me a free consultation (thanks for that Mike). He advised me about different approaches to my problem and spent a good amount of time on whys and hows.
He didn't want to take my case since he believed that my case would require challenging the current immigration laws and he didn't believe that would bear fruit. In addition, he advised me that my legal journey would be very costly if I take the case to the district court. He didn't feel comfortable taking my money for the case that he believes is not winnable. That is an admirable quality in a lawyer. Other attorneys were glad to take my case without having any plausible strategies.
In addition, Mike said he will get back to me if he thinks of an optimal strategy to win my case. And I believe him. I felt that he is the kind of person that would stop at nothing for his clients. He definitely earned my respect and I fully recommend him.
Thanks again Mike for your wisdom!

Petition for Alien relative / Adjustment of status
Usher law group was thorough and informative. We had regular follow-up calls and emails from Micheal and the team when information regarding our case became available. Our case was approved 8 months from the submission date. The front desk lady Sonaia was an absolute joy to work with, she was attentive and had good attention to detail. I express my most sincere thanks for the professional work ethic and profound representation.

Mikhail to the king
Mikhail handled my case effectively and got both myself and my former roommate the result we hoped for. It wasn't exactly a clear cut case, but he was able to resolve my landlord dispute and acquire the money we deserved. I'd recommend him for any landlord/tenant dispute case. He'll fight for your rights.

Mr. Usher handled my matter in a very professional manner.
I highly recommend Mr. Usher.
I was involved in a landlord tenant matter where I rented an illegal apartment. The landlord tried to force me out without proper compensation.
Once Mr. Usher became involved, the matter was resolved within three months.

I have hired Usher Law Group, P.C./Mikhail Usher, Esq. on multiple occasions and both he and his office have been efficient and diligent with all work performed. Mikhail is a very personable attorney, especially in a "dog eat dog" world, and that made my choice easy for retaining his office.

Usher Law Group - A Fantastic Experience
There is not enough positive feedback i can give about Mikail Usher and the Usher Law Group, not only because of the desired outcome, but Mr. Usher took what could have been a negative experience and gave us the comfort and reassurance we needed throughout the process. Mikhail Usher handled our case with expediency and respect. I can honestly say that in my dealings with this business, I didn't feel like just another client, I felt like a friend.

Trustworthy and Reliable!
Past experiences had left me feeling somewhat jaded and skeptical of attorneys. Working with Mikhail Usher has been a corrective experience to say the very least. It is abundantly clear from the moment you meet him or speak to him for the first time that he is incredibly knowledgeable and sharp with tremendous attention to detail. I felt very strongly that he had my best interests in mind and was thorough in handling my case every step of the way. He kept me informed with regular updates and made sure I consented to every action he was taking on my behalf. When he said he was going to do something, he got it done and fast. I never felt the need to check-in on him or the status of my case although he made himself available for that at any time. His physical location being in NY and me being in Florida was never an issue either. I couldn't be happier with my experience with him and he will be the first call I make if I ever need legal counsel again in the future.
