Best Immigration Lawyer!!!

Mike (Mikhail) helped me with my Mandamus Petition. I was just waiting and waiting on my interview to be scheduled, and it was just not happening. When I consulted him, he know exactly what we needed to do. I never met an immigration lawyer as knowledgeable and confident as him. I recommended him to ...my friends and coworkers. Highly recommend him!

Mr. Ushergraciously dedicated his time to addressing all my inquiries

AVVO.COM serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking legal advice. It not only benefits those in need but also proves to be a lucrative platform for lawyers. There is nothing inherently problematic about this; rather, it functions as a space where clients connect with the necessary legal se...rvices. In this regard, I wish to express my appreciation for Mr. Usher, who graciously dedicated his time free of charge to addressing all my inquiries related to a perplexing legal matter. While it may appear to be a seemingly small gesture, anyone requiring legal advice would undoubtedly appreciate and treasure such assistance, as I certainly do. The consultation proved to be exceedingly beneficial. Mr. Usher presented me with various potential resolutions for my issue, along with pertinent statistical data and a recommended course of action. When I am prepared to take further steps, I will undoubtedly engage this attorney, recognizing him for his knowledge, experience, thoughtfulness, and generosity. Thank you, Mr. Usher.

Superb experience

Mike was very professional and knowledgable! He had great expertise and deep knowledge regarding EB2-NIW. He helped me clarify important aspects of my case history for which I had previously not been able to find reliable answers. I would definitely highly recommend!

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.
