Professional, responsive, and kind. 100% reliable!

Attorney Boreale is knowledgeable on my consultation on immigration processes. Among all the professionals I consulted both in Tucson and Phoenix Arizona Michael was the mots responsive and professional. He reviewed all the documents for my application to USCID, solving all my questions, and recommen...ding key tips to go to the process successfully. Every time I sent him an email he timely responded which made me confident during all the process. Me and my family are so grateful to Mr. Boraeale so we strongly recommend his services in Immigration Law.

Professional and helpful immigration lawyer

My wife and I hired Michael to help us with my immigration process into the United States. He helped us review and fill out our EAD and Green Card application documents over several separate occasions. He also accompanies us to the Green Card approval interview. Michael and his team were extremely... helpful and professional throughout the entire process. They explained the application requirements in a way that even we could understand, which helped keep our minds at ease even during stressful times. Michael suggested ways to make the whole process smoother, and recommended filing additional documents that supported our case significantly. We admittedly had plenty of questions for Michael, and he was prompt with his communication and presented his answers in a way that, again, we could easily understand. While clearly a professional in his field, he avoided excessive legal jargon, which helped us file all of our documents on time. We will warmly recommend Michael and his team to anyone in need of a first-class lawyer.

ATTORNEY WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Mr. Boreale was detailed and helpful in his response to my questions regarding non-profit and for profit entities. Our business had to consult with him regarding new rental circumstances, business building plans and ADA compliance measures. He has a friendly demeanor and has a mindful outlook throug...h his legal advice. He takes time to hear you and his consultation was extremly valuable. He gave me a sense of peace and confidence after exploring my options with him and I am truly thankful my questions and concerns were discussed with him.

When I contacted Michael Boreale online...

Michael’s good reviews caught my attention and I messaged him about options and estimates for a situation that might require legal action at some point. He replied within 24 hours offering an idea for a legal approach including estimates as well as an excellent suggestion of what should be done befo...re legal action was possible. I messaged back with more specifics, asking for clarification. He again replied within 24 hours. This time, along with clarification, was an idea even more tailored to what I was aiming for phrased in a way so as to keep expectations realistic, update the previous estimate, and point out information to gather if I wanted to move forward. He was delightfully swift in returning messages, a quality all worriers will find especially appealing. His ideas were clear and he was willing to explain anything that wasn’t. Switching legal approaches for specifics, as opposed to one size fits all, was no problem. He worded things to keep expectations realistic, was upfront about costs and anything else that might be necessary in order to move forward. His approach was informative, straightforward, knowledgeable, timely, concise, and professional- All valuable qualities if you are considering hiring legal help. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael Boreale to anyone valuing the same characteristics that I do. While I hope not to end up needing legal action, if I do, my guess is I will simply find he approaches my issue with the same straightforward, clear, timely, professional style that he’s demonstrated so far. Just that alone goes a long way towards attaining that tenuous state we all so long for, peace of mind.

Best employment attorney!

When I was having the worst time being wrongfully terminated from my place of employment. I was at a loss of what to do and where to turn. I sought out other legal options and most of the other attorneys didn't have time or confidence in my case. When I met with Mike, he spent the time to listen an...d review the evidence. He was completely honest about what may or may not happen. I pursued what I felt I had to do, and Mike was the perfect attorney for me! Even though my case was small in comparison to others, he gave me the same dedication as his other clients. Mike kept me informed on all correspondence throughout the process. He kept me involved asking for my opinion as well as offering his experienced professional advice. He made the process go as smooth as possible, relieving some of my stress. Mike did a remarkable job, going above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend him!
