Michael is a very professional and knowledgable immigration lawyer. He and his team worked diligently that the application would be successful and supported us along the process in the best way possible. If you are looking for an immigration attorney you will be in good hands with him.
Thanks so much! I got from lawyer Michael W Lin a very competent consultation. He helped me send documents to the immigration department. Highest grade of his work!
Michael helped me first with permanent residence and then citizenship. Michael and his team are professional , friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.
Michael helped me with the H1B process. One good thing about Michael is that he made sure that I have done all the paperwork and pushed me to complete all the paperwork on time. Michael was always available to resolve the issues and because of his attention to detail, I got my H1B approved without any RFE. I highly recommend Michael and wish him all the best for the future!
其實在去見Michael Lin律師之前我們找過別的律師,而且很有名氣,但是那個律師是讓我們失望的,雖然他名氣很大但是他的團隊和他的態度不能讓我們信任的將如此重要的事情托付,所以在見到林律師之前我們並沒有抱很大的希望,但是剛剛見到他時,他那神采奕奕且友好熱情的態度就打動了我們,他讓我們感覺到了幹練和睿智。我們便決定好好交流一下我們的事宜,對於法律專業我們畢竟是外行,但是Michael律師一邊聽一邊在電腦上做簡短記錄,在我們談話結束後他也已經有了一個簡單且詳盡的資料,同時也在第一時間從法律專業方面為我們判斷出可行方法,且告知我們流程。而且在簡短的交流中讓我們感覺到Michael律師是一個品德高尚、做事有原則的人,於是,在第一次見面時我們就決定請他和他的團隊做我們的律師,感覺他是一個可以信任的人,是一個可以托付的人,事實證明我們的判斷沒錯,Michael律師和他的團隊做到了比我們想象中還好的結果。 後來我們又有過兩次簡短的會面,之所以簡短是因為他和他的團隊做事很有條理,對我們這些非專業人士講話也是簡單易懂條理分明,我們按照他的指示和要求準備各種材料和證據,交給他以後他都很快有下一步指示或問題,而且在我們回國後,無論什麼時間聯繫他,他都會很快給我們回復,這讓我們很感動。在最後一排資料整理完整交給他之後,我們等待了有兩個星期,我們有些著急,他說,他覺得將資料準備完善,努力做到最好比什麼都重要,我們認可他的觀點,但是不明白我們已經寫的那麼完善的資料為什麼會等待那麼久還沒有整理好,直至後來我們收到他和他團隊整理好資料才明白,他們做了那麼多的工作,而且作為不是我們專業的人士將我們的專業和術語理解通透後又變成專業的法律的文字體現在文章中,他們是怎麼做到的!可以看出,他們是用心在做,那麼負責任,那麼踏實,那麼不怕麻煩的查閱了很多資料才能得出那麼完善的文章,我們很感動,感動到不知該如何感謝他和他的團隊。資料遞交以後,僅僅七天就有了結果,我覺得這也離不開他們整理資料的調理分明,簡單明瞭。 在此特別感謝Kendell律師,小姑娘不僅人長大漂亮,整理出來的資料更漂亮,真難為她一個完全不懂中文不懂中國國情的小姑娘將我們的專業理解的那麼透徹,寫出來的文章那麼完善且沒有錯誤,曾經一次我告訴她有個地名的拼音出錯了,其實這對於一個完全不懂中文的人來說很正常,但是她在深夜一點修改好了,並將所有的拼寫都檢查了不止一遍,後來再也沒有發現錯誤,我想,她是一個很有前途的律師! 我為我們正確的選擇了一個好的律師團隊而慶幸!在此向大家推薦,你們可以放心大膽的將自己的事情托付與Michael律師和他的團隊,相信他不會令你失望!

Mr. Lin is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy and has successfully guided me through the process of getting my work visa. He was always on time and provided advice and guidance 24/7. Doing business with him and his stuff was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended!
Mr. Lin provided me with so many good ideas and sound advice during one short phone call. He is insightful and patient. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal advice pertaining to immigration.
I came to the office with what I thought was a simple matter. It turned out to be a nightmare. The firm listened to me and treated me with patience, respect, and consideration beyond my belief. Mr. Lin made a very stressful situation seem like nothing. He is a professional who knows what he is doing. He is fair, considerate and kind. He treated me like family and answered all my questions. He is a life saver!!! Thank you, Michael Lin. I will forever be grateful.
