An exceptional immigration attorney with decades of experience

Navigating the complexities of an EB-1A extraordinary ability visa for my spouse was daunting. Michael Wooley's 32 years of experience, particularly his deep knowledge of immigration law, made all the difference. His guidance from Varnum LLP in Grand Rapids was not only legally precise but also personally reassuring. He meticulously prepared our petition, anticipating every question and structuring the evidence to meet the stringent criteria. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved. Thanks to his strategic approach and calm professionalism, we received approval without an RFE. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Wooley to anyone needing expert, trustworthy counsel in immigration matters.
