Michael has been helping me and my partner with several immigration issues, including finding a way for my partner to be re-admitted to the U.S. despite his J-1 waiver, 'sexual orientation-based' asylum and residency application.
By far and large, Michael is the most trustworthy and experienced a...ttorney in the Twin Cities metro and beyond. He is professional, resourceful, honest and effective.
Michael is the remedy for all of those who've been scathed in their experiences with 'deceptively helpful' attorneys. His breadth of experience and frankness in approach will get you where you need to be in your immigration pursuits. Michael will tell you the reality of your case and will come up with the best solution that is available to you. He is NOT afraid of difficult cases, to the contrary, his flair for challenge and drive to achieve his clients' goals propel him to work on his clients' cases as if they were of his own. Until we started working with Michael, we had never thought we would encounter an attorney who was worth every minute and every dollar we spend. We continue working with him as we finalize our permanent residency.
Just like in our case, we got tangled in immigration laws, dealing with a plethora of attorneys of whom many were not as good as they purportedly were and made dealing with the Immigration Service ever more difficult. Michael met us at a point where we thought there was no hope for us. My partner was stuck in another country, I was spending tens of thousands of dollars on living and travel between two homes, and the possibility of my partner being reunited with me seemed bleak. Michael saved my partner and me from being permanently separated by finding a way for him to be re-admitted. Then, he and his attorney Rosa worked on my partner's asylum case, which, as far as I know, had never been attempted before in Minnesota. Thanks to the depth of their knowledge and genuine sensitiveness to our unique circumstances, they built up a well-substantiated and grounded case. My partner received approval and is now allowed to live with me in the U.S. We owe Michael and Rosa our present and our future.
If you're out there looking for someone in whom you can confide and need to put the power of one of the most distinguished attorneys to work for your immigration situation, no matter how complicated, please give Michael a call. You'll never regret it. Most likely, it will be the most important call of your life. It WAS ours! SINCEREST THANK-YOU to both Michael and Rosa for all your hard work, emotional support and expertise that resulted in my partner and me being reunited to live together!
