''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!

''Dear Mikhail!
On my own behalf and on behalf of our entire family, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you and your team for the work carried out for my mother in connection with obtaining citizenship through the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Thanks to your professionalism, persistence, and support, the matter was successfully resolved, and my mother arrived safely in Israel.
Thank you for your assistance in locating documents abroad and arranging notarized translations. Your support and professionalism enabled my mother to obtain an Israeli identity document (A/5 status). We wish you and your firm continued success, professional achievements, and grateful clients.

''I used the services of attorney Michael Patman for a paternity test and was very satisfied with the work he performed for me. The process went exactly as Michael had explained to me at the beginning. And in some ways, even faster than expected, which was a pleasant surprise for me.
I would like to especially highlight the human approach of the team throughout the entire process. They maintained continuous contact, answered all my questions, provided the necessary support, and always explained the situation to me in real time. This created an atmosphere of trust and security.
A huge thank you to Michael for his professionalism and empathy. Michael and his team are decent and attentive people, and it is a true pleasure to work with them! I recommend their services to anyone who needs assistance with this type of matter, such as a paternity claim or paternity test.

''We received the most courteous and professional service from Attorney Michael. Michael guided us through the couples procedure for marriage to a foreign national. From the beginning, Michael explained to us the process and the required documents, and we understood the high level of knowledge and command that Michael has regarding all the details required by the Ministry of Interior and Immigration for handling a case like ours — marriage to a foreign national and Yota marriage.
Thanks to his dedicated attention, my wife and I completed the Yota marriage with a status of A5!!
A huge thank you, dear Attorney.

''I have so much to say and to express my gratitude to the dear attorney Michael Fatman, who represented us in the cohabitation proceedings with my partner.
In brief, I will say that he provides excellent professional and personal attention.
Highly professional work (he obtained a decision from the Ministry of Interior in less than 24 hours during wartime, in my favor!!)
He looked after us at all times and always provided a quick response. He helped my partner obtain entry to Israel, an extension of stay, and most importantly, a work visa🙌
Thank you very much
