Law Offices of Michael Baker

Although I had a valid green card for 10 years, I was hesitant to apply for Citizenship due to a prior "misdemeanor sex crime arrest" (which classifies under the definition of "crime of moral torpitude" subject to potential deportation). Although in my criminal trial my case was dismissed and I pled guilty to a lesser disorderly conduct, when the time came for my citizenship application, I contacted Mr. Mike Baker for his expertise on Immigration Law.

After he agreed to take up my case for Naturalization, his advice was extremely valuable as I kept continuously submitting documents that were requested by USCIS. Michael's background on similar immigration cases, his experience in criminal law, and, his approach of analyzing potential future issues/queries across all angles, was simply amazing. With extreme due diligence in every step along the way, I was able to become a US Citizen after 1 year of my application.

Thanks to Michael Baker and I hope that he would continue to help out clients with their Immigration issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Michael Baker to assist clients in solving criminal / immigration issues.

During the past year, I needed to adjust my status from asylee to a permanent resident in the United States. As I did not have a lawyer, I found Mike Baker by researching immigration lawyers in the Chicagoland area. I immediately placed a call and Mr. Baker returned my call personally and I made an appointment to meet with him for a consultation.

At our first of several meetings, Mike thoroughly explained the steps I needed to follow to adjust my status to a permanent resident. I never had to wait to meet with Mike as he met with me promptly each time as scheduled. During the entire process, Mike never failed to respond to my numerous calls and emails. After we submitted all of the documentation for adjustment of status, Mike remained professional and continued our correspondence as I waited for a response from the Department of Immigration. Ultimately, I was granted a permanent residency, despite that I had some misdemeanor offence issues in the past.

I highly recommend Mike to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters. During the entire process, I found Mike professional and courteous and always willing to return a call or email to answer any questions I had. Mike’s expertise with immigration laws definitely contributed to the successful adjustment of my status in a timely manner.
