Matt was very professional and treated us like friends when he handled all the paperwork and assistance for obtaining a fiancée visa for my future wife who was from the Philippines.  Everything went smoothly and no problems were encountered with USCIS during the process.  We would highly recommend Matt’s Law Firm to anyone who needs assistance with immigration issues.

My husband and I are so thrilled we hired Matt Merrick as our immigration attorney.  From the very first consultation, I knew we were in good hands.  Matt helped us every step of the way, prepared us for any potential disruption, gave us rough timelines for the different steps in this complicated visa process, and outlined what he needed from us, making this complicated process as seamless as possible.  I would recommend Matt to any other couple wishing to go through the fiancé visa/green card process, especially same-sex couples, as Matt had specific advice for situations like ours.

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.

- Chris

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.

- David O.

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.

- Luke

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, the visa we are working on is a marriage-based immigrant visa; however, my immigration case is a lot more complicated than a conventional application for a visa based on marriage.

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. 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 say great words about her. My wife and I love Carla. She is really a wholehearted person and absolutely helpful fulfilling all of 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.

- Enrico & Melody

I would highly recommend Matt Merrick. I needed a consultation on a family immigration case. While other lawyers did not call back, or were not particularly helpful, he spent time on the phone with me understanding and responding to my concerns. He was thorough, professional and advised me well. I would definitely hire him in the future if I needed any immigration related legal services.

- Akhilesh

Matt was very helpful in acquiring a visa and green card for my Italian wife. He was very knowledgeable about the process and made sure that every contingency was taken care of. Thanks to Matt’s help, the visa process was much quicker than we anticipated, and my wife was able to join me in the U.S. in just a couple of months! I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing help with the immigration process.

From my Italian wife: “Grazie Matt per tutto il supporto e la professionalita’ che ci ha dato la possibilita’ di stare insieme con mio marito in pochi mesi! E grazie anche per la simpatia e le risposte sempre veloci ed eloquenti!

Se dovete fare un processo per una Green Card Mr. Merrick e’ uno dei consulenti migliori! Grazie!

- Olga

Matt did a very outstanding job with our case. We were seeking a fiancé(e) visa for Anthony to come to the United States, and our case posed some significant challenges, since our relationship had been entirely online, and it was impossible for us to meet in person. Matt was clear about the difficulties we faced, but he persevered to ensure that the waiver we needed would be approved and Anthony could get his fiancé(e) visa to come to the U.S. so we could get married. No words can express how we feel about the outstanding work Matt did for us. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone who is in need of qualified lawyer to represent them in an immigration case. Thank you so very much, Matt.

- David & Anthony

Matt did an excellent job. I was seeking a green card via my marriage status, and he was very instrumental in guiding me (and my partner) through the process. He was very responsive every time I had a question or concern, and was proactive in reaching out to me every step of the way. He is clearly very knowledgeable in his space, and I trusted his advice throughout (which served me well). Matt went out of his way to help me navigate my complex situation. He helped me gain approval to travel outside of the country, even though it was outside of the purview of the green card process and the primary reason I hired him. An excellent experience overall!

- Mario

- Wayne
