Michael Hugh Carlin

I was an adjustment of status applicant with a complicated immigration background. Mr. Carlin was open and honest when describing our chances for success and extremely generous with his time from the moment we had our first consultation. He somehow gives you the feeling that you are his only client. ...He is extremely responsive by email and phone. After two years of working with him and an initial setback, Mr. Carlin successfully argued our case in front of the Board of Immigration Appeals when we probably had less than a 50% chance of getting approval! Mr. Carlin will work with you and use his experience to provide the best argument possible. Very thankful!

I had a wonderful experience with Michael Carlin. He is reliable and was always available to answer questions in a timely manner. Our case went off smoothly and as expected. He is straight forward, honest and very knowledgeable. I will definitely contact Michael if ever needed again. Best place to go... for immigration help and services.

I would highly recommend Michael Carlin for all your immigration needs. As anyone who has dealt with the immigration department knows, the laws are very confusing and complex, and require nothing short of an expert to break the code. Michael is extremely knowledgeable about immigration issues. He is... straightforward, respectful, empathetic, and accessible. In my sister’s case, her green card had been taken away due to an overstay in Brazil. She’s been married to an American for 16 years. Michael handled the whole case and played out every possible scenario with the utmost professionalism. His diligence resulted in a successful outcome for my sister and her husband. Since that first meeting, in which our one hour scheduled visit stretched into an almost three hour one with no signs from Michael that our time was up, or that we were infringing on his other matters, to the last sign of his honesty and professionalism, when he returned over $100 dollars to my sister, (as he figured an overpayment had been made) Michael Carlin was always polite, attentive to what we had to say, meticulous in his filling out of forms, detailed about all that took place so as to fully familiarize himself with the case, and an expert on immigration matters and which course to take under the given circumstances. Throughout the whole process, which took approximately 14 months, he always kept us posted as to what our next step would be and our possible options. I couldn’t have found a better attorney to handle my sister’s case.

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.

Mr. Carlin was very knowledgeable and communicative during the 2+ year process to obtain my husband's residency. He is highly organized and knowledgeable of immigration law and made us feel like we were his only case. Not only did he assist us with all aspects of the paperwork, he responded to questi...ons my husband had while he was out of the country, and provided us with information regarding next steps once my husband returned to the country. He is also very personable and supportive.
