''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!

''I came to attorney Patman's law office in a situation where my case was particularly complicated! My ex-wife is a foreign citizen who left the country and fled abroad before we arranged the dissolution of our marriage (meaning my divorce). I felt helpless in the face of the international bureaucracy and had no idea whatsoever what to do. Fortunately, I found attorney Michael Patman on Google and scheduled a meeting. From the very first meeting with Michael, I understood that I was in the hands of a true professional! He knows the law thoroughly, knew exactly how to act with the immigration authorities and family courts both domestically and abroad. He managed the non-consensual marriage dissolution process smoothly until we ultimately achieved the dissolution of the marriage even without the approval of my ex-wife. Michael the professional resolved my marriage dissolution (my divorce) before the family court in a smooth and perfect manner!!! Thank you for your availability, reliability, full transparency, and service of the highest standard! I highly and wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a complex situation like mine — divorce from a foreign spouse — go to attorney Michael Patman the professional, he will save you!!

''We approached the law office of attorney Michael Fatman for the purpose of a cohabitation procedure at the Ministry of Interior, and it was the best decision we made in such an important process. The cohabitation procedure with the Ministry of Interior is known to be exhausting and stressful, but Michael made the process simple and convenient for us. Michael explained the steps to us and accompanied us from the stage of collecting documents and evidence of our relationship from within the country and abroad. Michael guided us throughout the entire process and prevented us from making unnecessary mistakes and delays. Attorney Michael was physically present with us at all meetings at the Ministry of Interior, and especially accompanied us during the cohabitation interview, which relieved us of all the stress. Michael always made sure that everything was proceeding properly. Thanks to his professionalism, thoroughness, and full availability, we received the work visa (B/1) and the temporary identity card (A/5). Therefore, we recommend that every couple who wants to go through the cohabitation procedure with peace of mind and in the most professional and capable hands simply turn to attorney Michael Fatman — he is the right address!

From the very first moment, I felt that I was in very good and professional hands. The entire handling of my citizenship file was fast, efficient, and without unnecessary complications.

''Many thanks to the talented and professional Attorney Michael Fatman!
Thank you for the incredible human treatment and perfect outcome at the Ministry of Interior!
We warmly recommend him to every mixed couple looking for the right and safe way to navigate the Ministry of Interior through the process of cohabitation. Simply do not think twice, contact Attorney Michael directly — he is simply a champion! He guided us through the entire cohabitation process, accompanied us through all procedures including obtaining an identity document (visa) A5. Eventually, he also transferred us to the Utah marriage track, handled all the bureaucracy online, and ensured that the official marriage certificate arrived in the country. He then managed our case before the Ministry of Interior in a professional, fast, and highly efficient manner. Throughout the entire process, Michael provided us with a list of documents and explained everything to us before each meeting at the Ministry of Interior. He always gave patient responses to all our anxieties and questions. His presence as a professional and experienced attorney before the clerks at the bureau changed the entire picture. Thank you again for everything 😇

''I was married to a foreign woman and we lived together in Israel. She wanted to flee the country before our divorce. Fortunately, I found attorney Michael Patman, and he helped me to dissolve the marriage and accompanied me in the family court until I received the marriage annulment. Michael is professional, attentive, very serious, sensitive, and patient. Out of his kindness, he also assisted me with the registration with the Ministry of Interior. Thank you, thank you, and thank you so much.

''Attorney Michael is simply outstanding!!! He represented us before the Ministry of Interior in a common-law partnership procedure, handled our process efficiently, and thanks to him, my husband received a work visa, a visa to remain legally in Israel, and an entry permit to Israel!! He always responds quickly and performs at 10 out of 10!!! Because he is so exceptional, we also got married through him in a Yota marriage, a civil marriage in Israel. In short, we have no words but to thank Michael for what he did for us, and therefore we highly recommend him!!

''We came to dear Attorney Michael Patman a long time ago, and since then he has been guiding us through a gradual couples procedure at the Ministry of Interior. He made sure my wife received a work visa and a residence permit, arranged her entry approval into the country, and ensured she could travel abroad with me. Most importantly, he made sure she received an A5 visa! Recently, we also had the privilege of having a civil wedding through him via Utah marriage registration. We were very moved, and Michael arranged a joyful wedding for us in his office together with his team. Truly, the universe sent us a gift in Attorney Michael and his entire team — good people, wise, and very well-versed in the law. Michael always knew how to reassure us and guide us through the process from beginning to the sweet end of our wedding. We warmly recommend reaching out to him always. We will certainly recommend him everywhere possible.

''First of all, I will say that Michael is a person of the highest caliber! He has excellent interpersonal skills! On a professional level, he is simply a champion in immigration law and knows how to solve all problems at the Ministry of Interior! Very precise and thorough, he represented us in the process of revoking residency/citizenship. Thanks to him, everything worked out - my wife, my children, and I now hold Israeli citizenship and, more importantly, Israeli identity cards. We can only say thank you again!!!

''Our matter involved conducting a paternity test and filing the appropriate claim to recover child support payments. Fortunately, we turned to Mikhail, and he took charge of all issues related to organizing the test and coordinating with the medical institution and official authorities. Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated attentiveness and a high level of professionalism; from the moment the claim was filed in family court, he provided us with substantial assistance and support. The legal proceedings were conducted swiftly, smoothly, and at a high professional level. Ultimately, there is little to add — he simply did his job excellently. I highly recommend him.
