Michael Hugh Carlin

My husband and I have had the pleasure of Mr. Carlin taking care of my husbands immigration case. He was in the process of deportation after a long 20 year battle with immigration. Mr. Carlin came on board about 3 years ago ,only days before deportation while my husband was in immigration's custody....Things were at there worst and there seemed to be no hope as far a the legal system goes. All options had been exhausted and this was an extremely unusual and complicated case that no attorney we consulted had come across. Mr. Carlin took the chance and jumped in with a positive yet realistic attitude when no one else wanted to -unless it was taking advantage financially of the situation. Mr. Carlin was fairly priced, gave realistic expectations of the situation with no false promises. He is a professional,kind, caring, humble man but willing to fight hard for you. Finding Mr. Carlin was an answer to prayer. Mr. Carlin continued to knock on doors even when nothing seemed to be in our favor.He did not always have the answers but had no problem saying he didn't know but he would find out, which he always did. His motivation, drive, and passion for helping people make up for him not being in the field as long as some others. We had the so called well known top notch attorney before him and it didn't get us anywhere. He gave up on our case over 10 years ago. Mr. Carlin answered his own calls and always returned calls. He always kept us informed. Even the deportation officer who normally can't stand attorneys was ok with Mr. Carlin. He even agreed to pass along his name. After almost 3 years we are so happy and blessed to say our battle is over. My husband received his green card and our life is staring a whole new chapter without the constant fear of immigration. I refer everyone in need of immigration help to Mr. Carlin and will continue to do so. Mr. Carlin, we will be forever grateful for your help and won't hesitate to refer you to anyone and everyone that needs help or an honest evaluation of their immigration case. As time goes on and you are more well known, please don't ever change the way you deal with your clients. You are a very kind hearted man without an once of arrogance. You truly stand out from the rest.

My husband and I weren't sure if we should hire a lawyer for this immigration process, but we also weren't sure if we were doing everything correctly. Michael allowed us to sit with him and ask many questions. After this first meeting my husband and I both felt comfortable working with him through th...e rest of the process. Michael helped us make decisions and regularly checked our case status online to send us updates. We feel lucky to have found him and will turn to him in the future.

We (my wife and myself) hired Mr. Carlin to help us with my wife's immigration from Hong Kong to the USA. His price was extremely reasonable, his service was always professional and skilled, and in the end my wife received her green card. We would give our highest recommendation to Mr. Carlin as we f...eel his service to us was exceptional. Our case was difficult, involving the "Adam Walsh Act". Mr. Carlin was always honest with us about the difficulties we faced and the odds involved. He was NOT dismissive of our questions or our concerns and he ALWAYS took the time to explain complex matters to us - often responding via email after regular office hours so we wouldn't have to worry overnight about things. We have several friends with difficult AWA immigration issues similar to our own - friends that paid three or four times more than we did to slick lawyers who made bold claims - friends who are still waiting to get the kind of results from their fancy lawyers that we received from Mr. Carlin's services. If you are considering an immigration attorney, I have never met one better than Michael Carlin.

Michael Carlin was my lawyer during a very stressful time for my wife and me. He was my immigration lawyer during my removal hearing. He went over my case very carefully with my wife and me. He explained all the options I had. He answered all the questions we had and kept us informed about any new d...evelopments. When I made up my mind on what I was going to do. Michael made sure I knew what my options were and that I was comfortable with the decision I made. He made sure that I understood how my decision would affect my wife and me and what other options I had once I turned it in. I am deeply thankful and appreciate that Michael Carin was my lawyer.
