The Best Immigration Lawyer

My experience with Mr.Sherman has been a positive one along the spectrum, and it was my utmost pleasure to have worked with him. As this was the first time going through the process of applying for a Green Card, I often had many questions and clarifications. Mr.Sherman always replied to my questions ...in a polite, prompt and detailed manner. He is an expert at what he does and that was evident very early on in my interactions with him. Furthermore, in the beginning he explained every step of the green card process and gave me a clear time frame for each step. Mr.Sherman is also very detailed oriented and catches any error quickly. I appreciated the fact that he kept me up to date with any new information. In summary, Mr.Sherman is reliable, sincere, dependable, and trustworthy and I highly recommend him and I am confident that if you become his client, you will be in good hands.

Excellent Lawyer

Michael Sherman is the best lawyer I worked with. He handeled my greencard case until approval very efficiently and sorrounded it with his distinguished skills all time. He was very fast in response to any question or concern, he was available immediately to me when I needed any inquiry. We did have ...trouble with our I-485 application with a previous lawyer which resulted in a one year delay for approval because of mistake of ignorance, I was told about Micael by many colleagues who have their application approved quickly and timely, I did contact him and he saved my case after he highlighted some very crusial points other lawyer did not address. H e gave a timeline for the application approval process which was very accurate. Me and my family would like to acknowledge his distinguished skills which saved our case from impending denial because of the mistake caused by my previous lawyer. I think hiring him was one of the most wise dicisions I made in my life, and would like to recommend him without any conservations. On a separate not, you will not have anybody you know who responds to e-mail as fast and nice as he does.. The good comes to you if you are lucky to know that he is there to help you.

Professional and Personal Attorney you Need!

Mike is very professional and personal to me - prompt reply, informative and up-to-date answers, proactive guidance, takes note to my personal circumstances, knows my family members by names and regard us all like friends and makes suggestions beyond the case consult requirement. Through Mike, I got ...my H1b to enter US to work in Jun 2011, and in Aug 2012, we filed the EB2/NIW, case approved in Oct, and we applied for adjustment of status in Nov, and by May 2012 - we got our greencard (ie. 9 months from NIW application to GC!). Also, his pricing for service is very fair in contrast to other immigration services. There are many great experiences we had with Mike, and in summary, I would recommend him to all my friends and family without reservation (and I have already done so).

Best Immigration Lawyer

Michael Sherman has been our (mine and my wife's) immigartion lawyer since we got in US in 2004. He is very honest, responsive, approachable and timely. We had to work with a couple of lawyers more because of the employer preference but Michael Sherman is the best. We just got our Green cards recentl...y and I think , Michael Sherman was there every step of the way. He will email you detail answers to your questions and that to in timely fashion. When I was looking for a job on H1B ( I was on H4 visa) he would take time to answer my questions also. In nutshell he is the immigration laywer if you need one and that too a "Good One".

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.
