About Michelangelo
Biography
Serving clients throughout the Miami metro area, across the country, and around the world.
I am a first generation immigrant of Italian and Swiss parents.
Having immigrated to the U.S. at an early age I have come to appreciate the freedoms and liberties we have in America.
I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and I have worked in federal law enforcement ( U.S. Customs) and security for 15 years before becoming a lawyer. This experience gave me valuable insight as to the inner workings of the U.S. government and its law enforcment mechanisms and procedures which allows me to provide real life practical advice to my clients as well as legal advice.
I have lived and worked abroad in Canada, Spain, and El Salvador, and those experiences have given me a more global perspective of foreign business and cultures.
I also worked as an intern with the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board while in law school, and this experience provided me with a keen awareness, knowledge, and commitment to practicing law in the most ethical manner possible in order to uphold the integrity of the practice and maintain the respect of the clients I serve.
My multilingual skills enable me to effectively communicate with my clients in their native language.
My life's long mission is to help immigrants to assimilate in the U.S. and to achieve the American dream.
In summary, I am "an immigration attorney who knows and who cares."
Over 20 years of experience in all aspects of U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law. Croce & Associates strives to provide you with the highest quality Immigration legal services. Serving clients throughout the Miami Metro Area, across the United States, and Worldwide.

Fantastic lawyer with exceptional work ethic
Lawyers and doctors have one thing in common, they are either very professional and genuine care for you and your wellbeing or they truly don't care and only look for a way to make easy profits with minimal or no effort at all. I'd like to provide positive feedback for Mr.Croce for his exceptional w...

Michelangelo Croce's Lawyer Endorsements
"Michelangelo is an excellent immigration attorney who knows his practice and will defend your cause. I know he will handle your case appropiately and with honesty. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse and highly recommend Mr. Croce to anyone who requires an exceptional immigration attorney. I have worked as a lawyer in Europe and the US for more than two decades. Mr. Croce is one of the most diligent and efficient attorneys I have ever worked with; his work ethics is unchallenged. I have and will continue to refer clients to him, because I simply don't think there are many attorneys with the same dedication and skill, and who are willing to go the extra mile for immigrants and their families. The results Mr. Croce delivers speak for themselves. I look forward to continuing to work with him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Great attorney and human being. Very competent and knowledgeable."
"I have known Mike for several years and I would not hesitate to send clients to him. He is super-intelligent, a tireless worker, extremely pleasant to work with and his clients only have good things to say about him. He makes every client feel like they are his only client. I highly endorse this lawyer."
