Professional and Reliable

We hired Mark as our attorney for green card document review and immigration interview. Though we called him up in the last minute, but he accepted our case without hesitation. Mark is professional, knowledgeable, and is definitely someone you can rely on. The information he provided was very helpf...ul. Most importantly, he gave us peace of mind. I no longer worried after speaking with him. He then informed us what we need in addition to what we already have as evidence, which I have completed ignored the importance of some of them. In a word, I would definitely recommend Mark to our friends for future needs.

My experience with Mark began in 2003. I run a small technology service provider based in Chicago, Over the past 5 years I needed to hire several software developers from eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine. He helped me take them through the process and was able to successfully culminate each of the... three cases with a labor certificate leading to securing a permanent resident status. Currently, Mark is helping me with my wife in a case which involves deportation and we just won a 2 year extension to adjudicate our I-130 petition. Oh, almost forgot to mention, marked also successfully handled process for my dad's green card. Based on my interaction with Mark - I recommend him as a highly competent attorney who can handle more than just processing ordinary immigration filings, but also as someone who you need to get involved if you have a tough case with challenging circumstances. For me - it worked every time.

Finally after sending Rebuttal I received "Asylum Approval" from USCIS.

outstanding lawyer

I had a unique case, my previous lawyer didn't review my files thoroughly, had a mistake in my prior green card application, enough a mistake that I started to worry about losing my current green card. I started looking for lawyers from illinois bar association, talked to about 8 lawyers before cal...ling Mark, including 4 paid consulting sessions, none of them give me guidance with clear confidence. Then I came across avvo.com and called Mark's office. Mark knows exactly what to do at the first phone call, and handle the entire process with ease. Having a Doctor's degree in engineering myself, I developed respect for a good attorney through this case.

Client

Mark is a fantastic attorney. He guided my fiance and I through the immigration process, answered all our questions, followed up regularly, and was extremely pleasant to work with. I would recommend Mark to my closest friends and would trust him to handle my family's cases in the future.

  • 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.
