Michael R. Jarecki

Mike and his staff have been phenomenal. I can still remember being nervous about calling Mike for a consultation as I had never talked to a lawyer before and was worried about understanding the process. But Mike set my mind at ease as he was direct and to the point and very patient. His professional...ism made me very confident in his abilities and so, without hesitation we decided to enlist his services. Thanks to Mike and his team, the application process has been smooth and successful from the K1 visa to the two-year Conditional Permanent Residency and then, to the Permanent Resident Card. The entire process can be very daunting and confusing, but Mike and his team explained the process in simple-to-understand, direct language. They were very organized and efficient, making the process much less painful than it could be. Added to this, Mike and his team were always patient with our questions and concerns. In short, they made the process easier and perhaps more importantly made us feel confident about our application. Costs may seem somewhat prohibitive, but they are more than well worth it as a successful application is priceless. Plus, if like me you are a person who worries about details and whether something so important is done correctly, it is well worth having a professional guide you the entire way and put your mind at rest. We will always be very grateful to Mike and his team for all that they have done for us. They have really made our dreams come true after many long years of having to live apart and wait to be together. Thank you Mike and everyone!

Mike helped our family change our status from student visa to work visa (H1-B) to permanent resident (Green Card). He has always been there for us for every single step of the way. He is professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. We recommend him to anybody who is in need of an immigration lawy...er. Truly, he is one of the best and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts.

Mike did an excellent job reviewing my case and asking the right questions re: my statement before he accepted it. Lindsay, who eventually did most of my legal representation, demonstrated the most empathy and precision during my asylum interview. I also know there were others involved, such as Jerom...e, who did a thorough and nuanced country conditions research. I'm so glad this office took my case and would recommend their up-to-date and superior knowledge and experience for those who work with USCIS in asylum-related matters.

My husband's friend, a lawyer, recommended Mike. We are so glad that we took her advice and contacted him. He successfully handled our case.There are two reasons why we feel so positively about him. 1. While our case was not complicated, we came to him after an especially troubling experience with ...the attorney selected by my workplace. From our first consultation to the end of the successful process, he was knowledgeable, informed about changes in policies and regulations at USCIS, and transparent. He communicated with us promptly and responded to our questions thoroughly, and clarified our confusions. He is attentive to detail and had clear instructions about the documents necessary to make our case. His overview of what to expect in the interview made us feel prepared and eased our anxieties about the process. It was invaluable to have him present in the room during our interview. 2. Being an immigrant, especially a non-white one, can be challenging. But Mike and his staff treated us with respect, patience, and kindness. Going through the immigration process is nerve-wracking but Mike and his team made it as stress-free as possible.

I was referred to Mike’s firm for a second opinion by a close friend; he had had a successful result on a very complex asylum case. My case was also complicated. I was applying for asylum while under a J visa. Not only that, I had been on that visa for more than five years. The day we went for the co...nsultation we decided Mike had to represent us. Let me go back and give you more insight into our story. Our former lawyer was very knowledgeable, had a lot of experience, and had favorably taken care of my own brother’s and sister’s visa issues. However, he had little to no expertise in cases like ours. He never confessed that to me, but it became evident after our first two meetings. I was not entirely comfortable putting my family’s future on his hands. That was when we explored the possibility for a second opinion. From the very beginning, everything went smoothly with Mike. Besides being kind, soft-spoken, caring, and professional, Mike demonstrated to be a very skilled attorney. His team especially Edward did an excellent job guiding us through this complicated process. The day of the interview Mike paid attention to every word. At the end of the interview, he brought up to the officer several details that were missed and would have harmed us if not discussed. In the end, our asylum was granted. We will be grateful for life to Mike, Edward, and all his team for helping us. We don’t need to be scared anymore. Thank you!
