Excellent

Michael was excellent from start to finish. He made my spouse and I feel comfortable throughout the whole process, which can get sometimes stressful if going at it alone. His expertise and knowledge instilled complete confidence that I had the best representation at my side.

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!

Beyond exceptional!

I am a writer, but I can hardly find the words to articulate what an outstanding lawyer and human being Mike is. It is important, I believe, to mention that Mike's passion for the field he is in, is visibly evident in his professional conduct. Through Mike, I sought asylum in the United States. I...t was a few years ago that we filed, and today I received the letter, granting me full asylum. From the time my case was filed, Mike and Jess (his assistant) worked diligently to amass the necessary evidence for my case, culminating in the interview at the asylum office in Chicago. This was an emotionally exhausting experience for me. My interview lasted almost one and a half hours. At the end of the interview, Mike summed up my case and highlighted the multiple reasons why I deserved to be granted asylum. I was completely blown away by the sheer brilliance of this summation. There are lawyers and there are exceptional lawyers. Mike is beyond exceptional I sincerely hope that more people would benefit by his brilliance.

O-1B Visa: success !

I was referred to Mr. Jarecki by a friend who praised him and his team. From the first consultation to our last meeting (to pick up my approval notice) they have been there every step of the way. Answering every question/concern/doubt. They will listen (or read your emails) and get back to you alway...s. It was my first time applying for an O1 visa so I didn't know what to expect but under his and Jess's expert guidance we analyzed and reviewed every document and every piece of information. I never felt treated like a case file or a number on a desk, so trust him with your situation and he will find the best way to help you. From day 1 he explained to me how this process would be quick nor easy and to be prepared to keep providing material that he will later review and approve (or discard). The entire process took about three months and even if you're not in the States you can work from home (after our consult I went back to Italy), he and Jess directed me to find the right sources to provide the best outcome. If I ever have to refer someone to an immigration lawyer I will definitely recommend Michael Jarecki (and his Senior Legal Assistant: Jess)

Highly Recommended!!!!

The easiest person to work with, it’s impressive how easy Michael and his legal assistant Jess made it look and we all know immigration law is the total opposite. Such a kind and respectful attorney, I’m extremely grateful and I know I will always be because he helped me get closer to my dream and... artistic carrier. He was honest when I asked for his opinion it really felt as if he had my best interest and that makes the process les stressful. Especially when you can call or email him with any questions and he would always get back before I knew it! Thank you again for all your hard work!
