Great work on National Interest waiver petition

Michelle provided phenomenal legal services and support through my national interest waiver petition ( it was a very stressful process due to a previous negative result with different lawyers). Michelle and her group very ably navigated the process and helped me obtain an approval. Throughout this pr...ocess, Michelle remained very available for all my questions, and was calm, logical and reassuring. Michelle would be my first choice if ever anyone requires an attorney for complex immigration issues that need a lot of back and forth communication with the legal team.

Excellent

Michelle was extremely helpful throughout the long process that lead me to interact with her. She was always quick to respond to my questions and clear when explaining what I needed to get done as well as the next steps and expectations.

Amazing Lawyer

I have been on J-1 for 6 years, O-1 for 8 years then transitioned to H-1 and finally to permanent resident status- from start to finish the process took 20 years. Throughout this journey I have gone through three law firms but none have given me the level of service as they have. Michelle keeps in t...ouch regularly and is incredibly thorough. She is very professional and stays cool even when i feel frustrated. I highly recommend Michelle and her Law firm.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
