Best Immigration Lawyer in Chicagoland: Knowledgeable, Thorough, Professional and Compassionate

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.

Without question, the best immigration attorney you can find

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!

AMAZING. SIMPLY THE BEST

We approached Michael R. Jarecki with a very difficult case. He was very professional and did not just take our case. He listened to my full account and after thinking about it, he took my case. He was truly not in it just for the money. the whole team was always contacting me,and asking me any quest...ions they had to help on my case. They were very thorough with every minute detail. And that left me feeling confident every step of the way. They did not push me or stress me out. which made me feel at ease while taking to them. Some one is always on the line to pick up your calls and answer any questions you have. I am very confident to say that this team of attorneys is the best out there.
