Michael R. Jarecki

As a practicing attorney, I know the practice of law is about more than just understanding the law. Mike and his team excel in a number of these additional areas including excellent case management, plain English explanations of complicated issues, and a calm, controlled demeanor for topics that are ...inherently stressful for his clients. After seeing the team’s work on a visa and a green card, I’d highly recommend hiring Mike for your immigration matters.

I was born and raised in Iraq. I came to the US when i was 18 and applied for Asylum as a gay immigrant afraid of returning to Iraq. My case was pending for 8 years. I had so many lawyers to help me with my case and no one has actually helped me. I reached out to Mike seeking for help with getting th...e USCIS to make a decision on my case. I am so glad that I have found him as he won my case, and due to his excellent knowledge of immigration law I was granted Asylum in the United States. During my entire immigration process, Michael Jarecki was highly professional, very very very effective communicator (which is so refreshing), very meticulous and caring. He said something to me when i was worried about my case that i have never heard, nor will i ever forget, he said, It is NOT your job to worry about this, It is my job to help you and go win this. He gave me hope, he gave me a life i have been waiting for years. Michael Jarecki is truly the Best Immigration lawyer and a wonderful person. I recommend him and his law firm services to all people who need immigration assistance.

I engaged Mike and his firm of talented legal professionals to help me remove conditions from my conditional permanent residency (i.e. going through the I-751 process). My situation was particularly complicated, due to my marital issues. As such, I was obviously nervous and worried about the outcome.... I brought my case to Mike, and he scheduled an in-office appointment with me. He effectively cleared his schedule for a couple of hours to sit down and go through a document-by-document and event-by-event history of my marriage and filing. He asked tough questions, ones that I would expected to answer in an actual interview with an immigration officer. He was sympathetic, yet professional; being honest with me on points where we'd have to build evidence for the govt. to adjudicate in my favor. He was very thorough and meticulous. Not only was our initial consultation excellent, the service he and his firm provided throughout the long, arduous process was markedly notable. For some context, most cases are resolved within a few months. Mine, however, dragged on for more than a year, a period which included and interview and request for evidence (RFE) by USCIS. The process was made even more complicated by rapidly evolving immigration regulations and rhetoric. As I was becoming more anxious, Mike frequently spoke with me throughout my case. This is something he didn't have to do, as I was not paying him for this. But he went above and beyond. He also accompanied me to the USCIS interview and offered guidance on how the interview would unfold. Moreover, as the months dragged on, he and his firm sent repeated, hand-delivered letters to the local USCIS office to follow up on my case. It was an incredibly personalized approach. After more than a year, my case was finally approved. It was a sigh of relief and I immediately sent Mike and his team a thank you note for their outstanding representation. In summary, Mike is a very (and I mean very) knowledgeable immigration attorney. I can assure you that my case was complicated to the say the least and he expertly navigated it. Now, I am retaining his firm's services to become a US Citizen! It is an exciting journey and I am glad to have Mike by my side throughout it. In short, if you've got a complicated (or regular) immigration case, and want the personalized touch of a thoughtful boutique firm, I highly recommend Mike and his team.

I was referred to Mike and his team for my asylum case several years ago, and I can't say enough good things about his firm. During every step of the process, Mike answered my innumerable questions, was always detailed and straightforward and guided me through the ever-changing asylum system with ut...most professionalism and patience. I particularly appreciated Mike's honesty and humanness. He never made any unrealistic promises all while helping me prepare as best a case as possible and advocating before USCIS on my behalf. Thanks to Mike and his team, my overall experience was much less stressful as I was sure I was in excellent hands. I am looking forward to working with Mike's firm in the future when the time comes to apply for permanent residence.

I come to Mike last Oct when I received a RFE letter from USICS for my I-140 application. After reading the REF letter, I am deperate and I know my current lawyer can't deal with it, I turn to MIke for help. This proves to be one of my best decisions in life. Mike and his team is on top of the case, ...they asked a lot of details of my situation and when they finally finish drafting the RFE response, I am so happy reading them and I know I should get approval this time. We delivered our response letter mid of Dec, and 30 days later, guess what, It was approved!! I want to thanks for Mike and his team of their hard work and excellent job. I can tell they spend a lot of time to orginze the material, cross check each evidence, use several legal arguement that I believe effectively applied to my case. I can't say enough thanks for Mike. The lesson I learn is, you can have a strong case, but you also need the right lawyer to present your case, so I strongly recommend Mike as the best Immigration lawyer - they are honest, professional, caring, and get things done!!!!
