would give him more stars if i could

Mike facilitated my husband's green card processing. Unlike other immigration lawyers we encountered in the past, Mike was always available for updates and questions - whether via email or phone, even on weekends. If he happened to be in court, his assistant replied asap. He gave updates as soon as ...they came. We felt that he gave our case/petition his full undivided attention. The entire green card process was clearly explained to us and it went smoothly from start to finish under his care. His services were no less than exceptional.

Thanks Mike!!

Very helpful and thorough. Excellent knowledge on immigration related issues. He dealt with our J1 waiver process which was very difficult in state of Ohio yet he got it approved. Also subsequently on green card process he helped us in time.

Strongly recommend for immigration services.

Top-notch professionalism; knows what he is doing to the last detail. Explains every step of the process and anticipate what problems might be encountered based on your case facts and what solutions are available - he is proactive and takes all the necessary steps to avoid any issues. I worked with h...im for the last 3 years and had no problem.

EXCELLENT !!

Mike Sherman is an excellent immigration lawyer, nice person and was very prompt in replying my emails. We were not very satisfied with our first lawyer and I am glad we switched to MIke. Got our green card two years ahead of the initial planned date. Hard to beat that. I would recommend Mike to anyo...ne without any reservations !

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.
