Very responsive, a true star
Michael is a true star when it comes to immigration. I had his help for my L1-A and he was very sharp, always responsive, and sometimes he would even answer me during the weekends. A true professional, and very reliable.

Mr. Sharon help me sort out some serious immigration issues - A life saver.
Mr. Sharon literally saved me (and a lot of other people) from a major immigration hassle. Due to an administrative immigration error, my I-94 had expired and I was in the US on my grace period. Luckily, my company caught the error one week before the grace period ends. Immigration officers in my cit...

BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER YOU CAN FIND, END OF STORY.
A true professional, what I call "a damn good lawyer". I just went through a VERY complicated employment-based immigration case. Michael simply did a FANTASTIC job all the way through. He truly saved the petition and made it possible to succeed. I would not have made it without his advice. I had se...
"Michael is an outstanding immigration attorney. He is highly ethical in addition to being knowledgeable and through. Whenever I have had the privilege of co-counseling with Michael on immigration matters, he has always placed the best interests of the client as his primary concern. He has my unqualified endorsement."
"Michael was my first mentor when I began practicing immigration law in 1995, along with his partner Aniko Kalnoki. I am familiar with not only Michael's prodigious experience in the field but also his wisdom, sound judgment, and dedication to his clients. I have been priveleged to learn from him, and I recommend Michael without reservation."
"Michael is an outstanding immigration attorney. His knowledge of immigration law is astounding and I have known him to be an extremely ethical attorney. I have had the privilege of learning from Michael for nearly fifteen years. I recommend his services without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am honored to know this attorney. As a younger attorney I look up to his accomplishment. He is a wealth of knowledge for business based immigration. I highly recommend this attorney."
"I am honored to be an immigration attorney in the same greater Cleveland area as Michael Sharon. I decline any employment based immigration case for a variety of reasons - mainly, I prefer removal, family and criminal cases, and more importantly, I know of no better firm to handle immigration employment cases than Sharon & Kalnoki. Also, Michael and I recently presented to the Ohio Association of Magistrates and had a blast - and also, hopefully, shared some useful information to the crowd!"
"I have used Mr. Sharon's services to obtain green card. Without a doubt, Mr. Sharon is one of the best immigration attorneys in Cleveland. When I met him for the first time, I was impressed by the level of professionalism he and his firm portrayed. I can say with confidence, that lawyers like Mr. Sharon make me feel proud of being a part of the legal profession. Not only he is highly knowledgeable of his field, he respects his clients, and never makes promises he cannot keep."
"Michael Sharon is an excellent immigration attorney. As a fellow attorney in the community, I have had the opportunity to view his work many times. His knowledge of family based visas and employment based visas is very good. I'd recommend his representation without hesitation."
