His successful advocacy has led to victories before the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Beyond immigration law, Michael represents clients in the transportation sector, successfully defending their interests in regulatory appeals up to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
