 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Impressed, I’ve witnesses  Mr.Pottetti address the Judge and prosecutor  like a well informed professional with well thought out respected confidant responses to their every question. The prosecutor attempted to paint a canvas painting of a not so nice picture of his client only to be rebutted & dissolved by Mr. Potteries witty and precise responses,
If Mr.Pottetti were an entertainment attorney
I would hire him in a Ny minute.

Michael Pottetti, Esq.

Michael is an immigration attorney who spends his days in immigration court, handling dozens of individual hearings every month. Judges and opposing counsel know him, and clients notice the difference that preparation makes.

When a case goes wrong, he takes it further: appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and petitions for review to the Second Circuit. Many of his clients come to him with a decision from another attorney in hand.

Why a paid consultation

A real answer, not a sales pitch.

Free calls usually end with “we’ll get back to you.” A paid consultation means the attorney actually reviews your case with you.

Typical free call

Screened by an intake assistant
Generic answers about your options
Pressure to sign right away
No real look at your documents

Consultation with Michael

One-on-one with the attorney himself
Your notices and decisions reviewed
A clear explanation of your options
A concrete next step for your case

Common questions

Before you book.

What happens during the consultation?

You meet with Michael by Zoom or phone. He listens to your situation, reviews any documents you have, explains your options, and tells you what the next step would be. If you decide to move forward, fees are explained before you commit to anything.

Do I need to pay in advance?

Yes. This is a paid legal consultation, and payment confirms your appointment.

I have a decision from an immigration judge. Can you help?

Yes. Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and petitions for review to the Second Circuit are a core part of Michael’s practice. Appeal deadlines are short, so book as soon as you can and bring the decision with you.

Do you handle cases outside New York?

Yes. Michael handles cases largely virtually from around the country, wherever the immigration court allows remote appearances. In person, he appears in the New York City immigration courts. Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals can be handled nationwide.

Is it in person?

Consultations are held by Zoom or phone, so you can meet from anywhere. Evening appointments are available Monday through Friday.

What should I have ready?

Whatever you have: notices from immigration, court documents, a judge’s decision, receipt numbers, or prior applications (this USCIS form guide shows what each common form needs). If you don’t have any of that, book anyway.
