Michaela has been practicing U.S. immigration law since 2018, with a focus on both non-immigrant and immigrant visa matters. She has substantial experience handling non-immigrant visa petitions, including E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, L-1, TN, and O-1 visas, as well as employment-based and family-based green card applications, diversity visa lottery cases, and naturalization filings.

Before joining D&S, Michaela practiced at a boutique immigration law firm in New York City, where she managed a wide range of visa and green card petitions. She developed particular expertise in E-2 investor visas, successfully preparing applications for U.S. consular processing worldwide as well as filings with USCIS. 

Michaela earned her law degree from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, and her Juris Doctor from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. While at Nova, she was a member of the Nova Law Review and the Moot Court Society. Her team placed in the Top 5 at the prestigious Jessup International Moot Court Competition (U.S. Northeastern Rounds), and she has continued her involvement by serving as a judge at the competition in New York. Michaela also served as Co-Chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) New York Chapter's Consular Practice Committee.

In her free time, Michaela enjoys spending time with her family and her dog, and traveling.
