5-star service

I had a one-on-one consultation with this lawyer recently. My experience has been a lot more than expected. What I like are the following. 1. Making an appointment is straightforward. They promised to call back and they did at the exact time. 2. Michael is very friendly and patient. I appreciate tha...t so much because I can talk much more openly with him like I would with my friends. He is a good listener and very respectful. 3. The fee is pretty reasonable. I feel like I owe his office more than what I paid for for the amount of time that they spent on my case. I had a great experience with this lawyer and I appreciate the service this office provided.

answer to a prayer

I was worried about getting a competent lawyer who understood immigration law because I am very aware of shaddy and over priced do nothing folks who are wolves in this field, but Michael who I know personally was a gem he is very capable and very competent and walked us through all the requirements a...nd was able to speak clearly about what was needed and what was expected of us to get our family member legally immigrated. I believe Michael is the best and I have all the respect for his work.

Bankruptcy

I was referred to Michael Salorio by an attorney named Edgard. The moment I sat down with Mr. Salorio I felt really confortable in explaining my situation with my debt. He clearly explained in detail how he would be able to help me in resolving my bankruptcy. He made sure I qualified and gave me t...he appropriate paper work to work with. He worked really fast my process and was able to complete my bankruptcy in a timely manner.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
