Great lawyer

Mike Sherman is an extremely dedicated and trustworthy lawyer. He filed for my H1B visa, H1B extension and my green card application and today I have received my green card and the total process went very smoothly without any surprises or hiccups. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a trust...worthy lawyer who gets the job done!!

Are you looking for a superior immigration lawyer? Look no further!

I have never dealt with a lawyer quite like Mike. He responds immediately to all inquiries. He is unfailingly cheerful, polite, patient and helpful, even when he's at his busiest. He is astoundingly knowledgeable. He pursues his objectives flawlessly and in a timely manner. And you can trust him to k...eep you on the right side of the law every step of the way. I was seeking an H1-B visa for a single employee and I receive the sort of attentiveness and diligence one might expect if I were I big-ticket client. I consider myself fortunate to have hired him and I would recommend him without reservation to anyone who might inquire.

Excellent

Mr Sherman made my journey from H1B to Green Card very smooth and pleasant. His work was very efficient and professional. I received detailed updates regarding my case status and what should I expect during my applications. He always answered my question in detail and unbelievably fast, even when he... wasn't in the office! I consider myself very lucky to find him 4 years back when I first came to US!

The best immigration attorney ever!!

I have worked with Mr. Michael Sherman for almost five years. He helped me prepare all my applications for H1-B visa as well as my green card. Through those five years, I have found him very trustworthy, honest, experienced and friendly. He always answered my questions in details. He was always very... prompt in replying back. He always kept me informed about the progress of my case. Inspite I didn't have a lot of experience with attorneys, I do believe that Mr. Sherman represents an excellent example of how an attorney should act in terms of professionalism, integrity and experience.

Mike is the BEST! it is as simple as that.

I am a Foreign Medical Graduate and I will be starting my Residency in Internal Medicine in a month's time. I was introduced to this gem of a person, and this amazing lawyer by my cousin who is a Surgeon here in the United States. I was here on a B1 visa. I was totally unaware of the intricacie...s of the United States Visa Policies. I was also unaware of all the pros and cons of the steps that I was planning to take in order to get myself a position on a work visa. I asked Mike about all my difficulties. I wrote a long naive and amateurish email to him asking all sorts questions and all sorts of doubts in mind. I was amazed at his prompt responsiveness. His advice was not only detailed but it was also to the point. I might add here that he extended free advice to me over email for the first twenty or so emails that we exchanged. This was because he made sure I knew everything that could possibly happen with my case if I were to take a certain step. Mike will always respond to emails. The response will almost certainly be within the next hour. His advice is always personalized. He treats you as a person, and not as a case number. A few hours ago, I received both my H1B approval and my B1 Extension approval. I had a chance to see how diligently he complied my applications to the USCIS for review. I am very, VERY impressed with him as a person as well. He is polite, well versed, and well learned. He knows everything there is about Visitor visas(B1/B2) and H1B. In short, I have already recommended Mike to all my colleagues. I will recommend him with my eyes closed to anyone and I wish him all the happiness, health and a successful career in the future.
