Michael Gilbert is intelligent , extremely knowledgeable, very personable and dependable Attorney. He worked very diligently and professionally to get results . I found Gilbert and his associates very ideal for all types of immigration cases, his law firm works as a team . Michael values time , makes brilliant decisions and provides the best possible advice to the client . I have seen Michael handling new complicated situations with the case and solving the problems one by one . When he says he can win this case then he really means it . Michael kept his word and won my case twice , once in The Big Apple and second in The WHO DAT Nation . I am very fortunate of receiving my citizenship recently and honored to share some words here about my Attorney. Exactly 16 years ago I came to this law firm for help , with an existing case which was hopeless, shattered , denied , from other country . Zwaik,Gilbert associates worked very hard on my case, making great arguments through the immigration courts of Connecticut, New York and Louisiana. Despite longer delays from USCIS , Micheal and his associates inquired the case very often with USCIS and kept me connected. Zwaik, Gilbert law firm works professionally and take ur case very seriously . They never gave up on me and they will never give up on you . Michael Gilbert is not only a great Attorney , he is kind and a fun person . Thanks to all who read this review , In 16 years Michael always returned my call and remember my name . Bring him your immigration problem and I assure you he will solve ur problem and keep solving it until you succeed. Thank you so so much Zwaik,Gilbert and associates for helping me get my US citizenship.

Our immigration case took a lot more time than it should have, due to immigration tie-ups. Michael was extraordinarily hands on and proactive to help assist and achieve. We are thankful for the final outcome.

We hired Michael as our attorney to process our case in getting my husband legal in the US. We have been working with him for some time and it has been a pleasant experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm about the case was exceptional. Everything was clear and transparent. We have since completed our case successfully and my husband now has his 10-year green card. It was a long process with a lot of paperwork and time consuming material, that was always taken care of in a timely manner. He was always well prepared for the task at hand. The process was smooth as can be. We are very pleased to have crossed paths with Michael and his firm. He is highly recommended, we are glad we chose him to represent us.

From the jaws of deportation to US Citizenship, all thanks due to Michael Gilbert of Zwaik, Gilbert and Associates. My journey has been long and difficult with many bleak moments in between. I came to the US in the 90s as a young teenager and made my share of mistakes while navigating through life in US. When I met my US born wife, I already had two arrests on my record, making the task of obtaining a green card impossible. With the help of Mr. Gilbert, we made a plan and applied for my green card. I was nervous on the day of the interview and of course my application was rejected on the basis of my arrest record. Mr. Gilbert advised me to make a stronger connection with the community, volunteer, get involve with various charities to show that I have changed as a person. We reapplied and were once again denied and this time I was placed in removable proceedings to be deported back to Pakistan. Many sleepless nights were spent accepting the fact that it was a great possibility that I’ll be deported. Another meeting took place at Mr. Gilbert’s office and a new plan was created. Mr. Gilbert worked hard to create a strong case on behalf of me to present in front of the judge who was presiding over the removal proceedings. He argued on my behalf like a true champion, someone who deeply cared for his client and he made sure I was not going to be deported on his watch. The judge agreed with Mr. Gilbert and granted me the green card. The long hard battle fought had been won, however the journey was not complete. With the immigration policies rapidly changing it was time for me to apply for US Citizenship. Once again Mr. Gilbert was there to guide me. With all the hard work and efforts that were put in my file, this time things seemed a little easier, however in the back of my mind I was ready for another difficult interview. On the day of my interview, Mr. Gilbert went with me, calmed my nerves and once again spoke on my behalf to the agent interviewing me, Highlighting my strong points and guiding the interview process into a favorable one. A month and a half later I received my Oath letter and this past Tuesday the 23rd of January I became a US Citizen. I had dealt with other Immigration attorneys who did nothing for me; Mr. Gilbert was different. He was attentive, cared about me and was always available to answer my questions and concerns. If you are looking for an immigration attorney, Mr. Michael Gilbert should be your only choice.

Michael Gilbert has been my lawyer from past 14 years.He is a very professional lawyer and did an excellent job in my immigration case.He is a perfect gentleman and has an excellent hold on his work and practice.

Michael was recommended to me through a friend. He helped through my application for permanent residence. He made the process seem effortless. What I like Michael the most is that he's deeply passionate about his work, extremely ethical, and he truly believes in the meaning of this work. He successfully helped me to convince the immigration officer to get the PR stamp the day I was interviewed because I told him that I would like to visit my father back in China soon. Michael didn't have to do this for me and didn't even have to tell me that was a possibility. So, he really has his clients interest in heart if the client has a legitimate case. I would definitely recommend Michael to other people.

4000 characters are not enough to describe the difficulty of my case, nor the extraordinary level of professionalism executed by Mr. Michael Gilbert in order to resolve it. In short, I came to USA in 2002 and everything was fine. In 2004 I had to apply for removal of conditions and I was supposed to get a new Green Card without conditions, but that did not go well for many different and complicated reason which would Mr. Gilbert be a better person to explain it, instead of me. I have contacted Mr. Gilbert in 2013 to help me with my status that at that point had no official name. As of October 22nd of 2016, I am in possession of my new Green Card without any restrictions and after 14 long years I can travel again. Moreover, pretty soon I will be United States Citizen - finally! Almost full 3 years Mr. Gilbert never left my side, explaining everything regarding the process into details, [and sometimes I would not understand all the legal terms, which he would than in a blink of an eye say to me in plain English - thank you so much!] explaining to me step by step what will happen in the future with the case, and what are my options. He tirelessly wrote letters to immigration judge urging to see my case sooner, he even wrote synopsis of my case so the officers in immigration could easier understand what happened with my case through the years, he often went by himself in Holtsville to ask for the status of my case. At no point in this 3 years, was a moment that he was not available if I needed to ask something, or that my email was not answered. 3 years is a very long time, one can say plenty of time for things to go wrong, and my case was extremely complicated, but only the most outstanding professionalism and genuine care for my case was presented to me. Rare are individuals that can leave such impeccable impression, and there are no words to express my gratitude - even that I speak 3 different languages, I am still not sure if I could find appropriate and worthy words to express my approving opinion regarding my experience with Mr. Gilbert as an attorney and a human being, and the firm. If one is in need of an immigration attorney, please look no further, just contact Mr. Gilbert and that will be the best call you have ever made. Mr. Gilbert has saved my life in so many ways - I am not sure what I would do if I would have to go back and leave United States. I do not have that daily subconscious fear anymore. Mr. Gilbert made my dream come true, I can live and work in America and focus to have the best life I can here. Thank you Mr. Gilbert once again, for all that you did, I appreciate you very much. You are an extraordinary attorney and individual, and I am wishing you all the best. Always grateful, Mrs. Smith.

I had the opportunity to be represented by Mr. Gilbert a few years ago. When I was in the process of deportation, Mr. Gilbert represented my mother and I and through my mother, I was able to apply for residency and get my green card. Throughout the process, I felt I was in good hands because he showed professionalism and also explained everything as the process went. His staff are very welcoming and his office was closed to where I lived. I would highly recommend Mr. Gilbert for any immigration issues. My family and I will always be thankful for what he did.

I am writing again just because I know how it feels when you got immigration issue and you don't know how and where to find a lawyer who can SAVE and HELP you out with your immigration issue in real. There are so many lawyers who just need money and don’t care about clients. When you go to Mr. Michael Andre Gilbert you will feel that it’s not about making money, it’s all about YOU and YOUR IMMIGRATION PROBLEM. If you are seeking help regarding your immigration issue, STOP wasting your time and money and meet with real lawyers. THEY WILL HELP YOU LIKE THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBER. The reason I am recommending them is based on my own true experience. Since I have received my legal status (Asylee) back in February 15th 2013 and after that became a Permanent Resident of United States of America (Green Card Holder) same year on November 11th 2013 and my family (My wife and son) both not only joined me here in US but their Green Cards are also been approved and received. Secondly, I have directed my family members and friends towards Mr. Michael Andre Gilbert for immigration help, they ALL got success by getting their cases APPROVED. I have started doing Government job and looking forward to grow higher and higher with my hard work in future. THANKS TO MR. Mr. Michael Andre Gilbert, Mr. Mitchell C. Zwaik and their team.

My name is Imran. I was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan. I came here to United States on September 16th, 2011. I was searching for a lawyer in the news papers, online everywhere. I visited so many lawyers and paid money to just talk to them, sometimes even $500 but all in vain. To make a long story short, one person from NY recommend me to Mr. Michael Gilbert & Mr. Mitchell Zwaik. I visited them explained my situation and I got the good legal advice. The exact wording was "If you are telling the truth, yes we will try our level best to help you out" and that's exactly what happened. They educated me to file my case within the 1st year of legal presence in the US. My interview was on 12/12/2012. They lightened my path on every step and as a result I got my asylum approved right after my interview within a little over 2 months on February 15th, 2013. I am so thankful to Mr. Michael Gilbert & Mr. Mitchell Zwaik for their help. I will always remember them who helped me out to get the right to live alive and happy. I will highly recommend them to everybody who need legal help regarding immigration. They are trust worthy and God's blessing is with them. I wish them success in this world and hereafter. Ameen.
