Honest attorney

After numerous bad experiences with immigration lawyers I hired Michael Kreis to take on my case. Our first conversation made me feel like he sincerely cared and throughout the entire period of working with him I felt safe with him. The aura he exuded was so positive that every time I saw his name on... my caller ID I would immediately start smiling. If you want an honest, hardworking lawyer who responds immediately to any of your concerns and will not sugarcoat things then Michael is the lawyer you're looking for. My case was complicated and Michael not only did what many other lawyers said was almost impossible but he did it for less than half of what other lawyers were asking for. I will recommend my closest and dearest friends and family to him without a doubt. I cannot say enough great things about this attorney. He is the best.

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.
