''Many thanks for the fast, professional, and quality accompaniment at the Interior Ministry after we had a refusal in the elderly procedure for my mother-in-law. Attorney Patman filed a legal appeal to the tribunal in a very professional manner, already in the first hearing we received approval to continue the elderly procedure process at the Interior Ministry. At the first meeting at the Interior Ministry after the hearing, my mother-in-law received a work visa and a permit in Israel!! Of course we are staying with Michael the champion until receiving A5 and in general Israeli citizenship for my mother-in-law. We highly recommend attorney Michael Patman warmly, for any legal treatment you need he is the first to take!

''We contacted the law office of attorney Michael Patman after months of failed attempts to submit a visa application for my partner. We were at a loss and under great pressure from the Ministry of Interior that demanded endless documents! Unfortunately, our applications were rejected repeatedly. Fortunately, we found attorney Michael Patman through Google and he changed everything for the better! Michael accompanied us through every step of the process and made the entire procedure for regularizing the status of foreign spouses easy and clear! Thanks to his professionalism and experience, we achieved A/5 status, and ultimately my partner received Israeli citizenship. Great thanks to dear attorney Michael Patman!

Simply thank you and thank you again!

''I met Attorney Michael Petman during the most challenging period of my life. I received from my ex-wife a lawsuit for child support, custody, parental responsibility, and dissolution of partnership! I should note that my ex-wife wanted to leave me without the apartment and the car, and without the possibility of meeting my children, except for a limited number of hours per week. Attorney Michael approached my problems with professionalism, thoroughness and sharpness. At the same time, and no less importantly, I had the privilege of getting to know his warm, supportive and empathetic personality. He was available to me at any hour, and attentive to me at every moment, every day! He truly fought for me in the best way possible!
In the end he won for me and today I have joint custody and my children sleep at my place!! I received my share of the apartment and 2 cars! And most importantly I received the divorce decree that filled me with happiness!!
Thank you very much for the diligence, professionalism, the sharp mind that solved every problem for me with complete thoroughness. He did not give up for a second!!! Thank you for achieving the perfect divorce agreement for me!!
I recommend with great appreciation and warmth Attorney Michael Petman

''We came to Israel a few years ago, and my mother remained living alone in Peru. For about a year, we tried to bring her to the country through requests we submitted independently to the Ministry of Interior under the Elderly Parent Procedure. Unfortunately, all our requests fell on deaf ears. We searched for a good lawyer specializing in the Elderly Parent Procedure and went through several attorneys until we met Attorney Michael Fatman. He welcomed us with a smile, explained the entire Elderly Parent Procedure from start to finish. We were amazed by Michael's knowledge, professionalism, patience, and courtesy, and chose him to represent us before the Ministry of Interior. Less than 3 months after resubmitting the request through Michael, my mother received approval to come to the country. Immediately upon arrival, he scheduled an appointment for my mother to receive a temporary visa! Michael represented us throughout the entire process until my mother received Israeli citizenship, and we can only endlessly thank dear Attorney Michael Fatman, and of course, we will always recommend you with great love!
