Maxim Michaeli

I am Maxim Michaeli, Esq., a New York-licensed attorney with nearly two decades of legal experience across multiple jurisdictions. I began my legal career in Israel, where I practiced law for over 15 years, gaining deep experience in litigation, corporate, and immigration matters. After relocating to the United States, I earned an LL.M. in Comparative Legal Studies from Pace University and passed the New York Bar, where I have been actively practicing for the past several years.

My practice is focused on U.S. immigration law—including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1, family-based petitions, adjustment of status, asylum, and litigation before USCIS and federal courts. I also handle complex civil litigation matters in New York State courts, including personal injury, business disputes, and contract litigation.

Clients appreciate my aggressive advocacy, attention to detail, and personal dedication to every case. I believe in direct communication, strategic planning, and a tireless commitment to achieving results for my clients—whether they are artists, professionals, entrepreneurs, or families seeking a better future in the United States.

I am fluent in English, Russian, and Hebrew, and serve a diverse clientele from across the globe. From initial consultation to courtroom or petition success, I provide legal services with integrity, tenacity, and an international perspective.
