Best LGBTQ representation in Illinois!

We found Mike through an online search to find representation for my wife's case which was extremely complicated. Previously, we were starting the process with an attorney who's staff was incredibly rude and we dropped them immediately upon meeting Mike Jarecki and his team. With Mike and his team, w...e were treated with the utmost respect throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions and to support us through the process for my wife's permanent residency application. We had great success during the immigration interview; Mike was cool, calm and collected while answering some of the questions that were being asked by the immigration officer. He spoke up on our behalf when we needed him to and we always felt supported and safe under his representation. Thank you Mike and Cris for your immense support and professionalism throughout this very sensitive process. You have truly changed our lives and we will never forget your kindness and support. From beginning to end, we completed our entire process and were approved within 100 days. Thank you!

Excellent Experience

Mike and team came to the rescue in what I considered a very devastating situation. My then fiancé now wife, was detained when trying to enter the country. Mike put everything into perspective and gave us different options on how to approach this. He worked with us and helped us prepare for worse cas...e scenarios. My wife ended up having her K-1 Visa approved and was able to come to the US! I will forever be grateful for the wonderful service provided by Mike and his team. The absolute most professional, efficient, knowledgeable and accessible team to work with.

Above and Beyond

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.

Exceptional

My husband and I hired Mike for my marriage-based green card case after reading reviews on this site, and the whole experience has been fantastic! From the initial phone consultation (I was living in a different state at the time) to when we finally received our green card, Mike and his team have alw...ays been extremely professional, diligent, and knowledgeable. Though I lived in a different state, working with Mike's team was super easy through our shared Dropbox, and Mike was always prompt in responding to our questions and making sure everything got taken care of in a timely matter. There were some bumps in our journey with delays in processing and with issuing my EAD, but Mike and his team were persistent in following-up with the USCIS until the issues got resolved. We were nervous about our green card interview, but Mike prepared us for it with a mock interview, which was very helpful. We are simply amazed with Mike's attention to detail, and in his skills in navigating through our complex immigration landscape during the Trump era. We have complete confidence in Mike and his team, and will definitely work with him again when it's time for my Naturalization application!
