Most Trusted Attorney.

I have been a client of Attorney Jarecki for 5 years. When I was living abroad with my US citizen spouse, Mike provided the most professional assistance to have a smooth, conflict free immigration process to the United States in the most challenging times for immigration. Two years after I arrived to... the US , Mike helped me file for I-751 to lift the conditions off my residency to obtain a 10 year green card, at the time I was living in Seattle, Washington, and I had some challenges in my case. Mike was able to fly over to Seattle from Chicago, IL to attend the interview with me after preparing me for it. Mike provided the most competent representation in front of the immigration officer during the interview. He was able to participate in the conversation when necessary which resulted in the approval of my permanent residency as of the same day of the interview.

Excellent Team, quick responding and diligent

I highly recommend Mike based on my experience. Mike and his team (worked closely with Jerome) handled my employment based immigration case successfully. This firm took care of my work visa to permanent residency in a very professional manner. From the first time communication, I found him very quick... responding, thorough, straight forward and knowledgeable. I feel Mike prepared a very solid petition by dedicating his time, in-depth knowledge and considering all key points of my background. I am grateful to this firm for achieving this milestone in my life and recommend to anyone 0for immigration related tasks.

Excellent team

Mike and his team were extremely professional and diligent. They took the time to understand my unique situation and then help me navigate through the required paperwork. Mike kept me informed of all the developments in a timely manner and always made himself available when I needed him, via email or... to schedule a call. The most important thing is that he delivered results for me. I would highly recommend Mike and his team for anyone looking for advice with immigration law.

Thank you Mike and Team

Mike was higly recommeded when I was seeking to legal help for immigration purposes. Since my first meeting, I have found Mike to be very straight forward about the facts and outcomes. At the same time, not only Mike, but his entire team came across as not just professionals, but also respectful and ...cooperative with clients. Despite his extremely busy schedule, I was always able to get a prompt response from Mike and his team, throughout the entire process. Through his efforts and expertise I was able to secure O-1 Visa and then green card. Above all, throughtout the process I had utter confidence in Mike (and his team) and a sense of peace, which is not easy when dealing with immigration issues. Please discuss your case with him and he will give you an honest assessment.
