Immigration Case

In Fall of 2022, my husband and I began to work with Marc. From the beginning, Marc demonstrated that he genuinely wanted to help us in my husband's immigration case. He was honest, sympathetic and a very humble individual. He had our best interest at heart. He kept us as updated as possible regardin...g my husband's case via email. His team also called us, texted us and emailed us to remind us of any appointments with Marc and/or of court dates. Marc was also patient when I translated for my husband during our appointments and after court. I would strongly recommend that you Marc's services to everyone. He seems to genuinely care and is very humbled! At the end of the day, my husband's case was resolved thanks to his representation, professionals and confidence!

Thank God for Good Attorneys!

I recently found myself facing DV criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct charges because of false allegations brought by a vindictive ex-boyfriend. Due to my immigration status (I'm here legally, but I'm not a citizen) I knew I needed a highly-skilled criminal defense attorney who ALSO ha...d a good understanding of immigration law. Thankfully, that is EXACTLY what I got with Marc Christopher! From the very beginning, Marc did an excellent job of walking me through ALL of my options and discussing the possible defense options for my case. Ultimately my case went to trial and I was acquitted of both charges! At trial, I and others in the courtroom were extremely impressed by my attorney's competence and skill which I wholeheartedly credit with my being able to beat both of these charges. This is why I would strongly recommend him for anyone in need of a defense and/or immigration attorney.

Top Immigration Attorney in the US

Since the moment I retained Marc's legal services, I knew I made the right choice. My immigration case was very complicated, and it dates back to 2009. Through my many court dates, Marc was always there. He fought for my case, and never gave up. If somebody would've told me 4 years ago, that I w...ould get my greencard, I would've laughed out loud, but he did the impossible. Marc was able to resolve all my immigration issues and, as a result of all his hard work, I was able to obtain my Permanent Resident status. I highly recommend Marc and his legal team, and believe they are one of the best teams in the country. I, my family, friends, and co workers cannot thank you enough, Marc.
