I would definitely recommend him for your immigration Cases.

Review of Michael Sherman

Mike is a great immigration attorney. He is thorough, responsive, understands immigration law and regulations in detail, etc. He is also a nice person. It has been such a pleasure to work with him over the last few years.

Meticulous, responsive & efficient!

True professional. Efficient. Responsive. Meticulous! So meticulous. I am so happy with Mike and his service. I have my green card exactly 7.5 months after my start date at my job. Now part of that may have been luck with the USCIS but it also certainly has to do with Mike's amazing abilities. He ...and his office are so efficient with processing of material. He was never the "rate limiting step". That's important. He responds to questions and concerns almost instantly (some times less that 2-3 minutes!!!) by email. I would 110% recommend him to anybody. Especially to all physicians.

Best immigration attorney I have ever known.

I am a physician, I worked with Michael Sherman (Mike), since 2008 till 2013, He worked on my H1B, then it's extension, later new H1B from a different employer, and finally green card for me and my wife. He is always thorough, on top of things, amazingly quick to respond to your questions, very pr...ofessional and understands your specific needs and expectations. I know more than 60 medical residents who had their H1 documents filed thorough him, all were happy and none of them ever complained about anything. My new employer had a different immigration firm working for them, they were not close to being called efficient or responsive. We made our employer switch to Mike and have no problem ever since. Green card case of my wife was detached from mine by USCIS, so it was not approved at the same time. Mike called them and she got her green card in 10 days. I would recommend Mike Sherman for any kind of immigration matters.
