I have heard of Michael from prominent well-known Chicago community leaders since 2012 but, I never approach him to seek his help. Until 2015 when my mother and father were caught in an "enigmatic" immigration situation. That is when, I realized that, I needed the most effective, trustworthy and dire...ct (down-to-earth with a hint of cowboy attitude) lawyer that, I can easily work with. Also would have the courage to put me in my place when, I needed it. I'm planning to go and visit the holy basilica Guadalupe in April 2016. Just to say thank you for being blessed to find a "heroic" lawyer who was able to help my parents come out of the shadows and he helped them so much!! They are in the righteous path so they can gain their U.S citizenship on their own. His staff is amazing especially Jessica who is a lionhearted person who truly knows when to cheer you up and is also eager to help you.

Many immigration lawyers were recommended to me. I met a few of them & decided to use Mike for my immigration needs & it paid off very well. I had two immigration interviews & he was there with me on both occasions. I remember the second interview which lasted an hour or more; it was tough as the o...fficer was being hard on me. I felt at ease & had more confident when Mike requested to speak with me & said, "Effah, u doing good. I just want u to keep on like that". As the case lingers on, he kept in touch & kept telling exactly what to do to avoid the avoidable. I highly recommend him to anyone & I certainly will tell friends & family about his excellent work as a brilliant immigration attorney.

I hired Mike Jarecki to provide advise with porting my Green Card over to another employer. This process was risky as my former employers were not cooperating with releasing copies my immigration documents. Even with AC21, I felt I needed legal counsel on navigating the process. Mike not only provide...d me with expert advice, he was kind and patient to listen to my concerns and responded with excellent recommendations on next steps. Mike helped to draft a letter for my portability using AC21 and submitted it to USCIS. Within one week, my Green Card was approved. I was glad I had Mike's representation since he strongly advocated for my case, even though my new employer had an in-house immigration attorney to provide immigration support (she had an entirely opposite attitude- condescending, inpatient and rude). Mike, on the other hand, is someone whom I would highly recommend to anyone needing immigration services, because he truly cares for his clients. He is respectful, knowledgeable, but most importantly successful in getting you the outcomes you desire.

TN visa: From the outset my case was extremely difficult given that I had just two prior denials at the border (within 2 weeks). From my first consultation with Michael, he immediately quelled all of my fears and laid out various options which we could proceed forward with. He was always available fo...r additional discussion and follow-up and once we agreed upon the best path to move forward, he processed and completed all the paperwork immediately to attempt to get an approval as quick as possible. He was able to provide sufficient evidence and rationale to reverse the two prior (denial) decisions at the border through USCIS, which ultimately produced an approval. Michael and his team and extremely knowledge and personable. Highly recommended.
