Michael Hugh Carlin

The very best in his field on immigration matters. Carlin was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered, we were always able to reach him one way or another. His professionalism, humanity and understanding. Very Impressive skills & wonderful down to earth person to speak to as... well as being tough enough to get things done. I would recommend Carlin to anyone and he will also be the first person I contact for any further needs for immigration needs !!!!!!

I would rate Attorney Michael Carlin a 5 star because he was the reason that the USCIS granted permission for our family to stay together in the U.S. when my husband was on the verge of deportation. Prior to Attorney Michael Carlin taking up our case we had lost all hopes with other lawyers. From t...he time we have been with Michal Carlin he has reassured us that this case could be won and we started slowly gaining faith as he pursued with such care and dedication of the handling of our very sensitive case. Both him and his staff are very friendly, patient and caring; they all are so willing to help make the process a little less stressful. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and associates. Our family is forever grateful to Attorney Carlin for all that he has done for keeping us together for without him our family would have been broken up by now. Thank you once again Attorney Carlin with all our hearts for all that you did for us and we wish you the very best in all that you do. Sincerely, Ruban family.

Me and my wife were married abroad and she is not a U.S. citizen. We wanted to return to the United States to start our life together. Unfortunately, things aren't that easy. Me and my wife were heartbroken when we found out that we could not be together until obtaining the proper visas. This was ver...y frustrating as a young couple who were eager to start our lives together. We began immediately searching for an immigration attorney to consult about our situation. Luckily for us, we found Mr. Carlin. Mr. Carlin was courteous, efficient, and professional from the first conversation over the phone. The way he handles the financials is very straightforward and commendable. Nothing was ever confusing or in question when dealing with Mr. Carlin. After he took on our case he worked quickly, updating us all the while, on every aspect of the process of obtaining a spousal visa. We applied during one of the biggest slow downs in visa processing history, and Mr. Carlin guided us through what could have ultimately been an even more frustrating and dire situation. We obtained our visa and are now living together happily in the United States. From start to finish Mr. Carlin was straight-up and proficient in his work. Without hesitation, I can say that my wife and I think Mr. Carlin was one of the most professional and efficient people that either of have worked with in any capacity, including our own professional and personal lives.

We first contacted Mr. Carlin for green card (I-751 portion) services after not retaining our previous lawyer specializing in family immigration law. We found him through very positive online reviews and after interviewing him and a few other lawyers, decided to retain him. He is very responsive to... emails, even getting back to us on a Sunday evening for our first inquiry of services. We live 2 hours from his office, and so strong communication was important to us, which Mr. Carlin must be commended on. He always kept us up to date on our case, and made every effort to answer all our questions. He also does top notch work, and is very detail-oriented. In comparison to our previous lawyer, we felt he was treating us more than just a pay-check and we did not have to keep tabs on him. He went to great lengths in preparing our application (which was approx. 600 pages), and takes the utmost pride in his work. This includes reviewing all the evidence for content/relevance, something our previous lawyer did not take the time to do. The application was not rushed, and was not submitted until all parties were satisfied with the paperwork and organization. Despite having a corporate plan that covers fees for in network lawyers, we still choose to use an out of network one. His fees are very reasonable, and Mr. Carlin is certainly worth the extra money and travel we endured. He even sent us back unused funds for his services, a testament to his honesty and integrity. We are so pleased, that we will be retaining him for citizenship services, and expect the same level of quality. Our only regret was not hiring him from the beginning of our case.

The whole immigration experience can be very stressful one and since we had Michael Carlin as our attorney I felt so at ease and involved in the immigration process and that made the experience a much better one. I have nothing bad to say just all great things, he is a very knowledgeable and very eas...y to understand. He personally communicates with you most of the time and his staff is also very knowledgeable and communicate with you any changes in your case . I really cant recommend anyone else better for the job.
