''I highly recommend, and not just recommend, but strongly recommend attorney Michael Patman, the most professional in the field of immigration ⭐⭐⭐
Yesterday I finally received the B1 visa at the Ministry of Interior! The story of my relationship with my partner was very complex and challenging due to difficulties on the part of the Ministry of Interior, to the extent that I was forced to leave the country and fly back to Russia, in the middle of a couples procedure at the Ministry of Interior.
The moment Michael the professional entered the picture, everything changed. He submitted a precise and well-reasoned request to the Ministry of Interior on our behalf, fought for us, and thanks to him I returned to Israel into the arms of my beloved!
The entire process with him was conducted in a clear and completely straightforward manner, while providing a sense of calm and full confidence throughout. Michael is not only a genuinely humane person and a true professional in his field, he is also exceptionally attentive, courteous, and sensitive!
If you are looking for an attorney who does not give up and delivers outstanding results!!

''We would like to express our great gratitude to dear attorney Michael and his team! For the professional and impeccable guidance throughout the entire process of regularizing spousal status in Israel (Israeli citizenship). Throughout the entire process, we received clear instructions, helpful recommendations, and thorough preparation ahead of the interview at the Ministry of Interior. Michael explained to us at every stage what steps needed to be taken and what we should pay attention to. Michael took care of preparing the documents and managed the communication with the Ministry of Interior, thereby helping us successfully navigate every stage of the process. And finally, Michael assisted us with the civil marriage of Yuta and celebrated a beautiful wedding for us in his office.
Thank you also for the assistance with document translation. Highly and warmly recommended!!

''Attorney Michael is a true professional. He assisted us in the process of obtaining a visa for the spouse of an Israeli citizen. Michael always explained everything in detail and in a clear manner. He accompanied us on all visits to the Ministry of Interior and also helped with the preparation of documents and notarized translations. My partner received a category A5 visa (which grants the right to work). We are very satisfied with Michael's work and strongly recommend him to anyone who may need such services!

''We had an exceptional experience with an international paternity test and claim handled by the dear attorney Michael Patman, who demonstrated extensive legal knowledge, care, and endless patience throughout the entire process. He resolved all the bureaucratic complications for us and coordinated the DNA test smoothly, even though my partner and my daughter took the test abroad while I took it at a hospital in Israel. Michael obtained the court ruling for us and completed the registration at the Ministry of Interior in record time. Michael is a true expert and highly skilled professional, highly recommended!

''My story in brief is as follows: after the birth of my son, I realized that I was unable to register him at the Ministry of Interior, because the Ministry of Interior claimed that they do not recognize my paternity without the involvement of the Family Court.
This is how I came to meet with attorney Michael Patman. He immediately reassured me and explained the solution of a paternity claim, its significance, and how he would help me, and so it was.
Michael is exceptionally knowledgeable in family law and immigration and citizenship law. He built a strong legal case for us, including all the required documents (birth certificates, affidavits, notarized apostille translations), and handled communications with the prosecution in a professional and efficient manner, thereby obtaining a court order for tissue classification testing (DNA) for me in the country, and for my partner and the baby abroad. Michael took care of coordinating the tests for all of us, and accompanied us through to the final registration and arrangement of the baby's status at the Population and Immigration Authority. The professional and prompt representation provided by Michael contributed greatly to my peace of mind and that of my partner. Thank you for the outstanding representation. Michael is a true expert, and we highly recommend him!
