The Winning Team

Fifteen years ago I need a work visa for a job offer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Under the most difficult challenges Michael and his then-partner Jim Eiss made it possible for my family and I to live and work in the United States. They were able to obtain permanent residency status for myself and my... family, and for that I will always be extremely grateful. My children have done well in school as a benefit and fruit of our family's labor. In fact, my older son has completed 2 years of University for a legal studies degree, and then he wants to go on to law school. May God bless Jim Eiss and Michael Berger, and long live America.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
