Thanks Mike

We (me and my husband) met Mike when my husband was getting his green card processed. He was with amother lawyer before but later found that his file had not been followed up and was referred to Mike by a friend. This came at a juncture when I (a physician)was applying for a residency program at a ...local hospital and awaiting a H1 visa. The program had offered me a position on the condition that I need to have got my H1 visa by the start date of the program. I cannot put in words the stress of the whole process. Mike , kept us posted of every little development and when he got my visa approved the first thing he did was fax it to my employer. he understood our urgency and was so supportive. We got our GC in 2005 and the process we expected to be stressful went so smoothly. We are now citizens and feel that mike is a part of our family. I am a practicing physician and he is somebody I reach out to for any kind of legal issues. He is a thorough professional with extensive experience in immigration issues. Even after our immigration process has been over we still keep in touch with him. We were lucky to have him as our lawyer. Thanks a ton Mike

Excellent Immigration Lawyer in the USA!

I just got my green card yesterday with the help of Mike and I am so thankful for knowing him . I have asked the assistance of Mike since I was an intern/resident in the Chicago area.He was the one who filed my H1b, concurrent H1b and my green card; everything came out smoothly as expected and I neve...r had a simple problem. Just like any patient who likes a physician who knows what he`s doing and who wants someone to always update him of any progress of his/her problem. I have chosen Mike to do my green card processing after I finished my residency and moved to a new employer because he is very professional, he knows what exactly he`s doing and he always updates me if there is anything new about my application. He is not just a lawyer who just wants to get or earn dollars from you; he has a humane part in himself and knows what an immigrant like myself is experiencing in this long process; he`ll tell you every step of the application process.A very distinct quality of Mike is that he is very approachable and responsive; you can always ask or e-mail him anything about your immigration questions and you will always get an immediate reply from him if not on that day itself, it will be the following day or working day. I will definitely ask Mike for any immigration questions that I have in the future and I strongly recommend him without any reservation to anyone who is looking for an excellent immigration lawyer.
