The best immigration lawyer in New Orleans. I have hired him 3 times and every time he exceeded my expectations.
Mr. Gahagan helped me when other attorneys wouldn’t even take my case. He got results fast and fought hard for me. I can’t thank him enough.
My case had been delayed for years. Michael filed a Mandamus and within months I had my green card. Absolutely worth every penny.
