Michael D. Baker

Mike Baker was recommended to me by the ex state attorney of Springfield. The USCIS had revoked my green card after I had got divorced from my US wife. I was on the verge of returning home to England before I went to Mike. He turned everything around for me with his skill and expertise in immigrat...ion law, Mike was always available on the phone or by e-mail, he was quick and responsive to everything the USCIS sent out, he followed with me on everything and patiently explained all the process that I was going thru. Mike won my case with his skill and constant probing in the immigration field. If anyone needs a top class immigration attorney, Mike Baker is your go too man. Warren Garlick

Following an incident that happened in 2003, I was declared inadmissible in 2012 by the Us consular in Nigeria. I needed to sort this out because my offence was a naïve mistake with no criminal intent but I had no clue how to go about it. I found Mike Baker via Google. A few other USA... based attorneys I contacted were reluctant to deal with me considering I was based in far away Nigeria. I gave him a call and Mr. Baker asked me to send a mail stating my case. After a few days and a series of telephone calls he accepted to handle my case but sternly requested I be very honest and straight forward with him. All correspondences were via telephone calls and emails. We never had a face to face meeting as I was based in Lagos Nigeria. Mike painstakingly explained and outlined explained the steps I needed to follow to apply for a section 212 (D) (3)(A) waiver of Inadmissibility . We started the process in April 2014 and I formally requested for the waiver in September 2014 at the consular in Nigeria. . I got my waiver approved in January 2015 (4 MONTHS). Over the period Mr Baker handled all emails and phone calls personally and professionally. He never referred me to any of his legal aids and he never failed to respond my emails and calls. He was always matter- of -factly and never made an attempt to raise my hopes unduly. He was Very professional and void of unnecessary sentiments. He was also very detailed and patient considering the difference in time zones between us. My case appeared impossible as I had used an attorney who wasted my 2 years taking me through a wrong route , but with his help my waiver was approved unexpectedly fast . My family is highly impressed with his services. I highly recommend Mike Baker to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters. During the entire process, I found Mike professional, extremely knowledgeable and always willing to return a call or email to answer any questions I had.

I was referred to Mike from another attorney because of his expertise in immigration law. I came from Mexico to the U.S several years ago undocumented. Sense that time I have attended GED classes along with other specialty courses. I also have a Civil Union with my life partner. In 2012 I.C.E statred... deportation proceedings against me. Because of Mike's efforts and expertise he was able to get I.C.E to use Prosecutorial Discretion and stop the removal proceedings! My partner and I felt like Mike took a personal interest in our case! He kept us informed throughout the entire process. Also, it was very helpful that Mike speaks Spanish, he was able to explain everything to me so I had a complete understanding!

I filed for a adjust of status from Illegal immigrant to permanent resident back in Summer 2006, I saw a couple of Attorney's back then and they were too expensive so I decided to filed myself with help of an Immigration Counseling Org. My case was denied on fall 2008 due to multiple reasons, one of ...them back in winter 2001 I had a felony. I was devastated because I made a new life with a decent income, married with a newborn, etc. INS gave 30 days to reconsider......I google Attorneys and called at least 7 Attorney's in the Chicagoland area. I left multiple messages on 5 diff. offices which they didn't returned my vmail. I spoke with one Attorney stated it was hard to reconsider and TAT were too short. I reached MIKE BAKER at his cel#, (yes he listed his cel#) I spoke with him explained my case briefly and made an appointment. He took my case and we worked together. During the process I received top notch legal service, I found Mike Baker as very knowledgeable. We filed what INS called a Waiver. Long story short he submitted my paperwork......9 Months later I received the approval notice from INS and therefore my Green card. Thanks Mike for your service, you worked the extra mile on my case and went above & beyond my expectations.

Although I had a valid green card for 10 years, I was hesitant to apply for Citizenship due to a prior "misdemeanor sex crime arrest" (which classifies under the definition of "crime of moral torpitude" subject to potential deportation). Although in my criminal trial my case was dismissed and I pled ...guilty to a lesser disorderly conduct, when the time came for my citizenship application, I contacted Mr. Mike Baker for his expertise on Immigration Law. After he agreed to take up my case for Naturalization, his advice was extremely valuable as I kept continuously submitting documents that were requested by USCIS. Michael's background on similar immigration cases, his experience in criminal law, and, his approach of analyzing potential future issues/queries across all angles, was simply amazing. With extreme due diligence in every step along the way, I was able to become a US Citizen after 1 year of my application. Thanks to Michael Baker and I hope that he would continue to help out clients with their Immigration issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Michael Baker to assist clients in solving criminal / immigration issues.
