Exceptional Immigration Attorney

I've worked with Michael for 7.5 years through the process of relocating my family from the UK to the U.S. Michael is an exceptional communicator and has been my trusted partner guiding us along the way. He has always responded quickly and attentively to my family's needs. He is incredibly considerat...e and kind, understanding the personal challenges and pressure in the immigration process. Michael has expert knowledge of the U.S. immigration landscape and is on point all the time with Government policy changes as they happen to advise next steps. Michael has successfully navigated us through the complex labyrinth of U.S. immigration on the path that worked best for our case, from B-1 to L-1 to Permanent Residency Green Cards. I consider Michael to be my highest recommendation of any professional I have worked with.

Reviews for Michael Jolic

Excellent lawyer with thorough knowledge of the law and process of immigration. Very friendly, explains the steps and technical challenges in the process very well. I had a challenging case with multiple steps required before I could even apply and obtain permanent residence. During the entire proces...s there were various hurdles including needing more documentation which was handled very professionally. Above all I found Michael very easy to approach and ask questions. Very methodical with his approach. I will strongly recommend him for all work visa and immigration related cases.

Outstanding!

After completing my graduate degree, I consulted Mr. Jolic as I navigated the H1B sponsorship process while on an OPT. Eventually, he was hired by my (now) employer in which he helped me obtain an H1B (cap-exempt) visa. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Jolic. He is extremely knowledgeable an...d professional. He patiently and thoroughly answers questions, responds promptly, and offers sound guidance. I also appreciated his clear and direct communication style and the timely updates he provided at every step of the process. From my first consultation with Mr. Jolic about a year ago, I knew that I would be in good hands and could blindly trust his expertise. My interactions with him since then have only solidified my initial impressions. I will definitely be reaching out to him for my future immigration needs and will always recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration attorney!
