Awesome immigration attorney

Michael helped my wife and I through a challenging GC process a few years back. He walked us through what the GC interview would be like, made us feel comfortable and we walked out with an approval. Some years later I need to get his assistance again and not only did he recall who I was, he went abov...e and beyond to provide the help I needed. Great guy - definitely recommend him strongly if you are looking for an immigration attorney!

Avvo Rating

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.
