Mike is incredibly diligent, intelligent, and compassionate, and I would recommend him to anyone in need. My then-fiancee and I were working to have her K1 visa application approved, and then to have our petition for permanent residence interview go smoothly. We had been working with a disintereste...d, absent-minded lawyer when first putting together our visa application, so when it came back with a request for more evidence, I wasn't certain that hiring a lawyer was the right decision. However from the first time we spoke on the phone, Mike set every concern at ease. He is incredibly professional and ensures that every detail is considered, and coached us in a way that truly empowered us. He inspired an honest sense of confidence, one that inspired us throughout every step. He and his team were available to answer questions whenever they arose (and continues to do so!), and always in the friendliest, most thoughtful way. Our revised, streamlined application had a clearer sense of purpose and flow, because Mike truly cared about us and took the time to get to know us and our story. Once we neared the interview portion, he proved essential in helping us know what to expect and to feel confident and prepared. My wife has since received her green card and we are so thankful to Mike for helping make it all happen. I couldn't recommend him and his office enough. They are consummate professionals, but also brilliant, caring people.

After speaking to / interviewing several immigration attorneys in Chicago who were incredibly underwhelming I had the immense good fortune to come across Mike and his team. Throughout what is probably one of the most stressful legal processes anyone can go through, Mike's handling of the process was ...expert. Communication was easy, scheduling appointments was easy, advice was first class and Mike ensured that we were fully prepared. I am so grateful for Mike's brilliant handling of my case and now I have successfully obtained my Green Card.

My husband and I hired Mike for a DACA to marriage-based green card application. Not only did Mike help us navigate the entire process from start to finish, but he pointed out ways that helped us save time and money while efficiently navigating the bureaucracy of different government departments. H...e clearly explained the entire process, and gave us peace of mind by letting us know just what our options were and what we should expect. I could not recommend Mike enough to anyone with a complex immigration case. He's truly one of the best.

Mike was very professional in his conduct of our case and was very clear in the steps that needed to be taken. He also always responded to emails and queries in a timely manner. The whole process took less than a year, and I'm sure that much of this is owed to the way Mike and Mike's office handled o...ur case (which was obtaining a spousal visa for my partner).
