Excellent choice. A job well done!

I've hired Marc for immigration law to start. I was really impressed with him and Eloisa, his wife (who is also an attorney and a partner in their firm), that I retained him right away without thinking it over. Marc then jumped and went to work right away (literally). Then he was not only excellent... and knowledgeable in immigration law, he was also excellent in criminal law. He reopened my case and got my initial charge dropped (which my previous lawyer couldn't do nor didn't want me to go to trial even I was not guilty of it) to a DC. He was aggressive in court towards the DA who tried to accuse me of something else (no new charge). Then afterwards, he stuffed it to my P.O. (the guy was a jerk, and he thinks he is above the law since he's Waukesha PO), and made him take the hold off me. I really trusted Marc and his firm from the start. Not that he did his job well, he's passionate, funny and personable. He's there for us 24/7, and it's rare for me to find that in a lawyer nowadays. Thanks Marc and Eloisa. I'm sure I will keep in touch with you, not for legals work, but rather I owed you.

Very satisfied with Marc's services

Marc is very good at what he does. ICE had taken my husband from our home about 7 months ago and Im very happy to say he is back home with his family. It was a long 7 months and Marc was great about keeping me updated on everything and he answered his phone ANY time I called. His customer service w...as great. I highly reccomend Marc Christopher!

A True Expert who provides a Good Ol' Fashioned Customer Service! Nothing else like it!

I had a very important legal matter that arose during a holiday weekend and I left a message for Marc. Expecting an assistant to call me back, It was Marc, on a Sunday! He met with me that evening. His office is warm and welcoming - you feel right at home! You can tell he works for you and loves his ...work! His staff is courteous and welcoming. Nothing else like it! I recommend him to all my friends!

Very Honest and Hardworking

Marc is not only hardworking but he knows what he is talking about. His attention is 100% on you when you meet with him. During the most difficult time in my life he fought hard for me and made every step simple for me which was so important as it was hard enough when you are going through difficult ...Times. I trust him and he is simply the best attorney!

The Best Immigration Attorney in the Midwest!

After paying hundreds of dollars in consulations with over 6 lawyers in Milwaukee and Chicago regarding my husband's immigration matter, I finally called Mr. Christopher. He answered his phone at 10p.m. The fact that I reached him directly suprised me. I talked to him for almost an hour. All the oth...er lawyers told me my case was either too complicated or my husband had no hope. Mr. Christopher didn't promise us anything but he took my case at a reasonable price. Today, I'm happy to say that my family is united again. I'm so happy I called him. He is the best and forever grateful to him.
