This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

regarding Green Card consultation needs

Mr Sherman is very thorough in his work and explanation. I hired him for my H1B paperwork and Green card filing with my previous employes and consulted him regarding green card needs when i moved to new employer. He is always available and proactive. He is very good with paperwork and you as a cli...ent will be assured and have peace of mind when he is on your case. I will definitely recommend Mr Sherman for your visa/Green card needs.

Simply outstanding!

I have known Mike for several years now. I was first introduced to him through employer for my H1b and since then Mike has worked on my H1b and through permanent residence. He has always been on the top of the things. His work ethics and professionalism are outstanding and made me very comfortable in... dealing with him. He was very approachable and despite his busy schedule, he was prompt in his email correspondence. He has excellent knowledge and he answered any questions promptly that arise during the process. He made sure that he was there with me every step of the way during the process. He is very diligent in his work, dedicated and personable, which sets him apart in his field. It was a great pleasure knowing and getting benefited from the expertise of such a great professional and above all a very humble human being.

Simply the best!

I know Mr. Sherman and his team for more than 10 years now. I have to confess that my immigration case was one of the most difficult and sophisticated cases that may happen for any attorneys. I worked with other attorneys too before and during the last 10 years and by far Mike is the best. His k...nowledge, professional attitude and kindness are exemplary. Honestly I am always overwhelmed with his passion and kindness to go over and beyond his line of duties for my case which started 10 years ago and now finally all my family and I succeeded to be US citizens, only because of him and his dedication. I have no hesitation recommending this strong, passionate, knowledgeable lawyer and his solid team as your best friend along your way for any immigration legal cases you may have. And I believe he is the best bet for you in these difficult and stressful situations.

Great super experience with Mike

You will not regret hiring Mike. I delt with so many professionals in my life, I have not seen any thing similar to him! When I email him. He would reaponse right back! Likely literally immediately! I applied for a green card with him. First day i started my new job, he had all my papers ready and ...we filed the application in the fastest way yet most accurate. You can tell how much of a perfectionist he is after you receive a mail from him. Every thing is so organized and clear. His attention to details is superb! He will guide you throw every step of the way! And explain everything carefully! First I thought all lawyers were like this, but boy i have a friend who had his application delayed few months because his lawyer forgot to correct the address!
