Michael Hugh Carlin

I was lucky enough to require the services of a great Immigration Lawyer at the time of applying to become an American citizen: Michael Carlin. He impressed me from the very beginning for his open-mindness about people from other cultures. Michael is a splendid lawyer, a very wise, kind and effici...ent attorney who made the whole process of applying for my naturalization as an American citizen something easy and relaxing. Putting my trust on him has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Michael is working for you twenty four hours a day, answers via e-mail any question you may have at the speed of light, no matter what time of day or evening you may write to him, week-ends included. He is always available by phone also and very willing to take care of you in person at your best convenience. He has an impressive expertise in the area of Immigration services, and he is very kind, understanding and sympathetic with everybody. It is very easy to see that he has a true passion for his job and he wants to help people in any subject having to do with Immigration Services and beyond. Outside work attorney Carlin dedicates his time and resources to help minorities and new migrants I recommend him constantly to any friend, student or acquaintance who wants to go through the process of Naturalization. He is best option, by far, in our Washtenaw County and the whole area of South East Michigan. I’m also very impressed also by his outstanding command of the Spanish language, something not very usual in people in his field. I’m very indebted to him for the wonderful help he provided me throught the entire process. Muchas gracias

Michael Carlin handled our immigrant visa application and waiver petition, and our case was successful! Michael is honest and very responsible. He has integrity and his work is thorough and high quality. We felt comfortable with our case in his and his team's hands. He is kind and patient. He was alw...ays in communication to keep us informed during the process of our case. He responds rapidly to emails. Michael gave us honest estimates of the duration of the various steps in the process. Michael is realistic; if a case is unlikely to be successful, he would give you an honest explanation of the possible outcomes (rather than lie to just get your money). His fee included the government fees, and his office promptly paid the gov't fee at each step as soon as it was possible to do so. Michael's experience, integrity, and high quality work make him an excellent choice for an immigration attorney. We have already recommended him to friends and we would hire him again.

Con su experiencia, integridad, y trabajo de buena calidad, Michael es un abogado excelente de inmigración. Ya lo hemos recomendado a amigos y nosotros lo contrataríamos otra vez.

My spouse and I applied for the removal of conditions and naturalization with help of Michael and his team, and I am happy to say not only we got both forms approved, our anxiety during the process was much less consuming that it would be without the guidance and support of the team. The paralegal... worked closely with me filling up the forms, explained everything, sent all my forms on my behalf. They would always send emails with updates, and were patient and thorough. I heard of Michael's firm on the radio: he actually took an immigration case to the Supreme Court of the US, and won it, so I instantly felt like that's the best office I can find in the area. Finally, when I was on the roll of "what if-s" and stopped by the office to sign my forms, Michael personally gave his insight on the process, on my particular situation, and on how everything works. He was also always in touch, and I barely had to wait for his responses when corresponding. Loved it all. Plus, comparing to many lawyers in Washtenaw and Oakland counties, the price won't kill you. Yay, I am about to become the citizen!

I approached him after searching for the top attorneys in Detroit Metro Area. He was the attorney I was looking for and knew that I was making a right choice. Michael was very responsive to my e-mails and is a very competent attorney. The outcome of my case was exactly what he predicted. The pricing ...is also very competitive. One can tell that he is genuinely service minded and enjoys his work. Before hiring a lawyer, do your thorough search and I bet you that if you have done your thorough search, Michael will be your go to attorney.

I highly recommend Mr. Carlin to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney! Mr. Carlin was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation through out the naturalization process. He was very professional, diligent and made the entire process seamless. He was extremely knowledgeable and ...reliable on current immigration laws and procedures, and also very efficient and timely in preparing the paperwork and forms. I know I could not have done it on my own. His fees are very competitive and reasonable. Personally speaking, you could not find a better lawyer for your immigration case!
