Michael Schewe was handling my cases to get my H1-B visa extended, then to get my US Permanent Resident status. Both went successfully. He was diligent, knowledgeable, responsive, and above all, a fair attorney. There were a few bumps during the process, but Michael was always there to offer his professional insights and expert solutions. He was even answering my legal questions during his honeymoon in Europe. I will definitely recommend Michael to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer. To me, he is one of the best attorneys out there, and I am forever indebted to him for his service!

The first time I called Mr. Schewe, I got him on the phone right away. He was very attentive to my consultation and took the time to ask questions and analyze the details and provide me with realistic answers and expectations. I highly recommend him.

Everything was right. Mr. Schewe was professional, knowledgeable, and replied to all my inquiries in a timely manner. There is nothing I could think of how he could improve his service, something I don't experience very often. He explained to me everything in detail. It was a pleasure to communicate with him.

Mr. Schewe has helped me with the entire process of obtaining my green card through marriage. From start to finish he as been so helpful, understanding, and very knowledgeable. He is very friendly and truly cares for his clients. I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer for immigration. He responds very quickly to e-mails, and is very detail oriented. He is an excellent communicator, and always has you in the loop every step of the way. He is truly the best! I am now in the process of getting my 10 year green card and he is always there for questions.

I worked with Mike for my Immigration purpose. Through out the entire process, he was such a help that i really can not express in words. He made it happen to pass my Immigration file and help me to receive my Green Card for next 10 years. All i can say to anyone if you have any issue related to your Immigration "Michael Schewe" is the guy to go to. Trust his knowledge and you'll be fine. Cheers

I found Mr. Schewe online and it was his reviews, which made me decide to go with him. Once I met with him, I knew immediately it was a good decision. From our 1st meeting he discussed the process, the good and the bad and although my case result was 100 good I was glad he had prepped me for everything. He is knowledgeable in his field which made a very complicated situation look very simple. I would use him again hands down and would recommend his service to anyone.

I was so glad I found Mr Schewe as my lawyer for my divorce and Immigration case. Not only did he help me prepare for my case in as thorough a manner as possible but he listened to me attentively and explained to me my options as clearly as possibly and prepared me for my case very well while paying particular attention to those details which he believed would assist me. He even advised me on what to expect in court but encouraged me not to be afraid. While in court I was very apprehensive and scared thus I found it hard to speak but he was there to calm me down and assist me in explaining my situation.I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone. He sits you down, hears you out and helps you understand what can happen. He explains in great detail what you may be entitled to from the Court. More importantly he helps you realize what you really want and need from the Court. He is friend when you meet him in private and strictly professional in court. Mr.Schewe is incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful. I don't know what more to say than having an HONEST attorney like Michael Schewe was priceless to me. I will never forget what a difficult time in my life he got me through, and how awesome he was at it. In Michael Schewe I not only gained the best divorce attorney in NJ/NY , I gained someone I really now consider a friend. I will always remember you for helping me in my crucial time....
