Excellent Lawyer

Michael and Olivia are excellent. He helped my husband and I through the immigration process. I'm American and my husband is British. Without their help we probably would have been lost on what to do pertaining to paperwork and procedures. He was always there to answer any questions no matter if it w...as minor or major. He was very prompt on replying to email even outside normal business hours. His commitment to helping you get through the process is commendable. His explanation of every step of the process was with knowledge and explained so you can understand what is happening. Thanks to Michael and Olivia's due diligence my husband will be here at the end of February, only 10 months after filing. I highly recommend his firm. We are very satisfied clients.

An excellent immigration attorney

My husband and I definitely recommend Michael Carlin if someone would like to ask about immigration. I am from South Korea and needed to go through out the processing of obtaing a green card despite how slow USCIS was. He patiently understood my English and our situation. I got a permanent resident c...ard with him after about 3 months without delay. Recently we changed our address but we did not notify this move to the USCIS. Fortunately he was on top of things and he changed our address even after we worked with him for 2 years. We really appreciate his efforts and wholeheartedly trust him.

Mr. Carlin's performance in an Immigration case

We feel Mr. Carlin far exceeded our expectations with the positive results of our case. Mr. Carlin explained to us up front that our case against deportation was very weak. We did not expect this level of honesty from an immigration attorney, based on past experience. Mr. Carlin was very curteous... in his explantion of what we were up against. His patience in helping us understand the complicated procedures involved made this difficult time much easier to contend with. We had many questions, and sometimes asked the same question multiple times and he answered them without any sign of displeasure. Mr. Carlin was with us every step of the way through the actual court appearences and was prepared every time. Our case involved an illegal entry into the United States. My friend was detained and scheduled for deportation back to his native country. As you can well imagine there was a comunication issue, but Mr. Carlin was very resourcefull in finding a resolution to this obstacle. In concluding we believe that with Mr. Carlin's abilities our case achieved a positive outcome.
