Я считаю, что в таких серьезных вопросах надо иметь квалифицированного адвоката! Буду вас рекомендовать всем нашим знакомым и друзьям. Благодарим Вас, Michael V. Kern !

Highly Recommended for Immigration Help

I worked with Michael Kern over the past few years to help my partner immigrate to America. Throughout the entire process, Michael was very easy to work with. He was there to guide us through all of the necessary steps, and always was able to quickly answer any additional questions we had. Throughou...t the entire process, from initial filing to the final approval, we followed his advice, and every single step went smoothly without any mishaps. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for help with immigration matters.

Compassionate Lawyer

My husband and I have had the pleasure to work with Micheal for almost 10 years. Our immigration case was not easy and there were constant battles with the immigration office. Michael was always right there working very hard, making sure all the papers were filled out correctly, emailing us back even... in the early hours of the morning to make sure we were able to get our end result. There were times that we didn’t see the end of our case, but Michael always reassured us that everything will be ok and we will get the result we have been waiting for and we seriously did. If anyone ever asks for an immigration lawyer we will always recommend Michael. Thank you for all that you did for us Michael.

Michael is the most professional person I’ve ever seen. I had a VERY VERY difficult case that no attorneys wanted to take my case. He accepted my case with confidence, fairly price, he had so much patience with me, he knows the law, very detailed. I’m very grateful to this man, he changed my life, I’...m American citizen because of him . I highly recommend him. Thank you Michael and everyone who works in his office.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
