Simply The Best

On and off for a total of 13 years I have seen and paid to numerous immigration attorneys in 3 different states regarding an immigration matter. Everywhere got nothing but disappointment and pessimism. We discussed the case with Marc, he explained the bookish law (which everyone else did too) but... he looked at both sides of the coin. We saw a hope, optimism and we went ahead with Marc. My family member has her green card now. He always replies back to your emails and phone calls, much like a good friend. Thank you Marc

An Attorney & Staff that Know the Law and Care About Their Clients

My husband and I have been working with Marc since we got married in 2010. Marc has advised us the best route to take with the least amount of stress and risk. My husband was granted DACA and will be submitting his adjustment of status paperwork within the next month. We live in California and Mar...c, and Eloisa (his wife who is also an Attorney) are based in Milwaukee, WI. Yes, there are Attorneys here in California we could have worked with. But after many (paid) consultations, we found none offered what Marc has provided, genuine care and concern. Marc's staff is also incredible, especially Karen who I have spoken to and emailed too many times to count. Legal services can be expensive, but I feel that Marc's rates are always reasonable, even on the low side based on the type of service you are provided. Unfortunately, there are many people in the immigration law arena who are unethical and even frauds. In my opinion, it is always best to go with a professional who knows the law and Marc has proven to our family that he is that and more.

Adjustment of status

Best service ever, Could not be more satisfied. Marc did for us what we thought was nearly impossible. We highly recommend him.

Grateful

My husband was stopped at the border because of an old conviction. Marc reopen his case. When the District Attorney didn't want to drop the charges Marc set for trial. On the date of the trial the District Attorney stated they didn't have the evidence. My husband just received his Green Card. Th...ank you.
