The real man for the serious matters

This man is the best and very honest attorney I have ever dealt with. What really is very impressive is his genuine care about my case, which he dealt with as if it was his. He walked with me in every step, he made sure I am taken care of, and he assured me to be given a positive result. I can never... thank you enough, Michael. You are the best.

One of the best lawyers around.

Mr. Stahl is probably the best lawyer that deals with criminal issues that impact immigration status. He is very knowledgeable and very helpful and works very hard. He saved my family.

Immigration assistance

Mr. Stahl helped me to navigate the immigration process to get my fiancée here on a fiancée visa. Mr. Stahl was very pragmatic, empathetic and professional throughout the long process and kept me informed in a timely fashion as to the status of the process and what the next steps were to anticipate.

Michael did excellent work for us in what proved to be a very lengthy and complicated legal battle over my wife's citizenship application and green card. Would happily employ his services again if needed.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Highly recommended. I worked with Mr. Stahl on several immigration matters, which involved immigration consequences of criminal activities. One matter involved a foreign non-immigrant beneficiary who had pending criminal charges in a foreign court. Mr. Stahl reviewed the foreign charges, researched the foreign statutes through the US Library of Congress, analyzed the elements of the foreign statutes, and provided excellent guidance regarding plea negotiations to mitigate potential immigration consequences for the United States. Another case involved a long term permanent resident in removal proceedings, charged with aggravated felony. Mr. Stahl analyzed the elements of the statute and provided authority why the conviction does not qualify as aggravated felony, ultimately helping to win the case. There are very few attorneys who are as knowledgeable as Mr. Stahl in this very complex area where criminal and immigration issues intersect. Highly recommended."
