Michael D. Baker

After 2 lawyers who all had empty promises and no effort, we found Mike Baker through Avvo. My case was no ordinary one . After my conditional residency was terminated and my case was moved to the removal proceedings we hired Mike. Mike stood with us for more then 5 years. He is very patient and ma...kes sure that we are up to date on his approach with regular meetings , calls and emails .His methodology is great. The first step was getting the I 130 approved and he got that approved the day of interview. I believe the first and most important step of I 130 could have never got approved without Mike. Next step was getting the removal proceedings terminated. It wasn't easy but Mike is no ordinary lawyer, he knows the ins and outs of the immigration system and he got that terminated. Finally the i485 which took a while as the Chicago office was backed up but he got my green card. It took 5 years, but if he says he can do it , he will. (not like those other fake lawyers who just want ur money) . Don't even hesitate or look around. THIS IS YOUR LAWYER . Thanks Mike for everything .

An internal company transfer saw me and my family move from South Africa to the USA. Our Group in the filtration business had previously made use of Michael's services for other successful transfers from Europe to the US. Without hesitation Mike started on our case and took us step by step through th...e process and procedures. Mike has the patience and the perseverance to negotiate those myriad of laws and regulations that come with immigration into the US. There was off course no question that we would call upon Mike's experience once we were eligible to apply for our Green Cards. Again, he took all worries, concerns and work out of our hands. Without hesitation we would recommend Michael Baker's services.

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 needed to adjust my status from "out of status" to a permanent resident in the United States. I found Mike Baker by researching immigration lawyers in Internet. I gave him a call and Mr. Baker returned my call personally and I made an appointment to meet with him for a consultation. At our first... meeting Mike thoroughly explained the steps I needed to follow to adjust my status to a permanent resident. During the entire process, Mike never failed to respond my emails and calls. My situation was very difficult, but with his help my case was approved unexpectedly fast. My husband and I are happy with his services. I highly recommend Mike 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.
