I consulted with Matt regarding the immigrant visa petition I submitted on my wife's behalf. After we discussed the details of my wife's case, he detailed possible scenarios we may encounter during this immigration process and courses of action for each one. Talking with him was illuminating; I hadn't known much, if anything, about some of the intricacies of the US immigration system before speaking with him. Even when his analysis may have been difficult for me to process at times, he advised in empathetic bites and followed up with me later to reconcile any fears I may have had. I not only recommend Matt to anyone looking to navigate the immigration process, but I am following up with Matt further because after only one consultation, I find his perspective and approach indispensible.
I came into contact with Matt Merrick after my marriage immigration case have been denied and messed up by my first attorney. I told him everything about my case and how saddened I was due to the duration my application have pended. Matt was very patient and explained all my questions by given me the best options to take for my case. After the first consultation I had with him, I was convinced to hire him to work on my application. We started the case processing to refile to immigration as suggested. Matt was very detailed in answering all my questions, and briefed me on a lot of vital points for my case. His paralegal, JOHNNY, was awesome! Very professional in handling all cases and applications. Johnny also packaged my application very nicely according to USCIS procedure. Matt was always available to respond to my questions, and I often receives updates on the of my case from him. Matt legal fees are reasonable considering the services he rendered to me. Comparing him to other lawyers I have worked with, I can boldly say, MATT MERRICK is the best of all. With his excellent services, I would recommend him as the suitable attorney to handle any immigration cases. Would love to work with him every time.
Matt Merrick was a very good immigration lawyer for our needs. He was excellent at listening to our (rather complicated) situation and helping us to both better understand our position, and offer productive, practical solutions. Matt is incredibly friendly and easy to talk with and I happily recommend him.
I called Matt about my green card and naturalization application. Matt was patient and attentive as I explained my situation and asked some of my questions. He was thorough in answering all my questions, he anticipated some of my follow-up questions, and gave me a few options on what to do next and explained them in detail. His services are very reasonably priced as well, and I would be happy to work with him again.
After a consultation I hired Matt to review my case. Matt performed his due diligence and showed professionalism from the beginning. I would definitely recommend his services.
Matt Merrick is one of the best immigration lawyers in NYC. Choosing his law firm was the best decision. Matt is an expert in his field and the process of getting my green card couldn't go any easier. I didn't even have to go to the interview! I'm so thankful to Matt for the outstanding job that he did with my case and I would absolutely recommend his firm to everyone !!!
Matt provided very meticulous and thorough legal advice for me during a difficult time in my family's immigration case. He covered all of the complex, entangled issues of the case with significant precision. Matt listened carefully to all of my questions, which were numerous. He also arranged some helpful printouts for me, which touched upon various parts of my case. I would highly recommend his legal counsel.
Matt assisted me with applying for my Green Card through marriage. I did not know anything about the process, and Matt was able to expertly guide me through the various forms and procedures. My case had a number of complicating factors that I initially thought would be big issues. Matt's reassuring tones put my mind at ease that we would be able to work through the complexities. Matt was quick to respond to my numerous questions and was always helpful. He has a deep knowledge of the various timelines and who to follow up with. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough, and I would definitely use him again.
Firstly, this is the first and only review I have ever written and I truly hope that it will help you in making your decision. Matt Merrick is an exceptional lawyer, talented at his profession, personable, honest, and very diligent in his work. I have trusted him once, and would again trust him with my life! I met Matt after a string of unfruitful encounters with several other immigration lawyers who were all unable or willing to take on my case. I was applying for a green card based on my marriage to a U.S. citizen, but it was a challenging case because of some criminal matters on my record from the United Kingdom, including a “Caution” for some charges that could create difficulty for me with U.S. immigration system. The other lawyers I had spoken to did not want to take the case because it was not a “sure thing” or because it would require in-depth research, planning, knowledge and plenty of skill and experience dealing with USCIS. Matt not only was willing to take on my case, but he rose to the challenge with an air of confidence and reassurance. His attitude lifted me from what was a dark and challenging experience. Matt gave me the assurance I needed so I could focus on my family life, knowing that the matter was in good hands. Matt was also always available to communicate with me directly, whenever I had questions or needed advice. After extensive efforts and due to Matt’s meticulous preparation of my adjustment of status application as well as preparing my wife and I for our immigration interview, I am so happy and grateful to be able to say that my Green Card application was approved. USCIS needed extra time to review the legal arguments Matt had prepared to show USCIS that the U.K. caution was not a conviction and that the other matters should not prevent me from becoming a lawful permanent resident of the United States. I recommend Matt without reservation and will continue to use him throughout the rest of my immigration processes.
It's been years since last time i reviewed a service online and the fact that i am doing it now even though my immigration case is not over yet says it all! I've known Matt Merrick several months now and i am very happy to let everyone know how thankful i am to be represented by him. For reference i am letting know that the visa we are working on is a Marriage Visa and that my immigration case is a lot more complicated than a conventional application of a Marriage Visa. Since day one Matt has shown outstanding knowledge, dedication and responsiveness and his extremely thorough work has had a great impact on my immigration case. Frankly i can't imagine how complicated my life could've been without his help. Obviously when a Marriage is involved, it is not just a holiday in the US and the seriousness of the case can affect your future life in several ways and requires extreme attention to details. I have had the chance to be introduced to Carla Lopes Dos Santos, his paralegal, and i can only spend great words about her. Me and my wife love Carla, she is really a wholehearted person and absolutely helpful fulfilling all our needs and doubts 24/7 just like Matt who has always been available. Sure this is not an invitation to take advantage of that since a professional working hours should be respected, but it clearly shows the level of their commitment. Matt and Carla grabbed our case like it was their own and i can't describe how thankful we are to be represented by both of you. Grazie mille! Enrico & Melody
