“I am originally from Denmark and married an American whom I met at the University of Rhode Island. We felt it necessary to use Sayer Regan & Thayer for my green card because we felt there were some tax issues that might have to be addressed. Sure enough the INS had some concerns over the Affidavit of Support and prior tax returns. These problems were expertly handled by Mr. Robinson along with his Paralegal Ms. Clare. When it came time for our interview it only took 5 minutes mainly due to the thorough preparation from Mr. Robinson and Ms. Clare. They both treated my wife and with respect and expediency and we will not hesitate use them in the future when I apply for Citizenship. I highly recommend them for their attention to detail and results!”
Michael A. – Jamestown, RI
An email from a happy client:
“Mike,
I want to thank you for the outstanding work you did on my case. You were professional, returned all of my calls in a timely manner and made what was a stressful time for me and my husband a lot easier. I was pleased with the exceptional work and pleasant team at Sayer Regan and Thayer and would not only return with any legal needs I might have but would also recommend you and SRT to anyone looking for Legal representation.”
Patricia K – Arlington, MA
“Sayer, Regan & Thayer has always demonstrated the highest standards of knowledge and professionalism. I have worked primarily with Richard Sayer and Michael Robinson. Richard did an outstanding job of making what would have been an overwhelming and arduous estate plan practically easy, and certainly easy to understand. Michael has outstanding knowledge of people and process, and the intricacies of the difference between what the law says and how it really works. He was instrumental in successfully fending off a malicious legal attacker who attempted to leverage known flaws in the system to take advantage of me. In a world where being right isn't enough and you need to have the better lawyer too, you want Michael on your side.”
Avram D. – Newport, RI
“SRT has demonstrated that it is a team of outstanding and effective professionals. Having worked primarily with both Michael Robinson and Peter Regan, we have found that they are tireless and proactive advocates, as well as professionals and individuals of the highest caliber and integrity.
Across SRT, we have found that the firm and its entire team are extremely focused, responsive, meticulous, thorough, and thoughtful. Having a legal partner and a team that delivers both clear, level-headed advice in addition to RESULTS is of great value. Having counsel which delivers at a consistently high level of personal and professional standard is of greater value still.”
Craig &Molly H. - Newport, RI
“I am originally from Derby, England with a Jamaican Background. Lost my husband eight years ago, leaving me with two boys to raise while also running a fitness studio. Sayer, Regan & Thayer, have been there for me in all sorts of situation, especially attorney Michael Robinson was very helpful, informative, and determined to win my case. He took the time to understand my full situation and always kept our communication lines very clear and open. Mike has a great knowledge of RI law and in the end I'm very happy that I chose Sayer Regan & Thayer LLP and in particular Mike Robinson representing me and my case. I will always to continue they are like family to me.”
Jennifer H. – Providence, RI
"My working relationship with Sayer Regan & Thayer and Michael Robinson began approximately 5 years ago. Since then, we have done several real estate closings -- and Michael has lead several tenant related municipal proceedings. Michael demonstrated a personal approach -- complemented by a track record which has been bulletproof. He continues to be a trusted guide in my ownership of investment properties. I could not ask for more from Mike and the team. Mike and the team have set the standard."
Alfred B. – West Orange, NJ
“I am originally from Canada and married an American here in the state of Rhode Island. We used Sayer Regan & Thayer for my original Conditional Permanent Residency. When my first two years was completed and I needed to file to remove the conditions I again returned to Sayer Regan & Thayer. This time I retained Mr. Robinson along with his Paralegal Ms. Clare. They both treated me with respect and expediency. My Conditions were removed without even an interview with Citizenship & Immigration, greatly due to the thorough preparation from Mr. Robinson and Ms. Clare. I intend to use them in the future when I apply for Citizenship. I highly recommend them for their attention to detail and results!”
Karen N. – Newport, RI
“I feel very fortunate to have had the counsel of Mike Robinson. He was extremely professional and well prepared as we faced my dilemma together. He was very informative as well as kind, understanding and supportive. I would recommend him unequivocally to my friends or family.”
Jack Z. – Waterbury, CT.
"Attorney Michael Robinson and the staff at SRT Law were instrumental in helping me through what was by far the most difficult time of my life. Without their assistance, professionalism, kindness, and expertise, I would not have gotten back on my feet and living the life I enjoy today."
Jay S. – Newport, RI
