About Michael Joseph
Michael Joseph McCarroll earned his law degree from Arizona State University in 2007 after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona in 2004. His academic path combined a state university law program with a regional liberal arts foundation. Those formative years set the stage for a practice rooted in statutory and administrative work rather than the courtroom theatrics of trial-heavy specialties.
After law school McCarroll established a single-attorney firm that bears his name. He built a practice in Colorado and has maintained it through the 2010s and into the 2020s. The firm operates under the Law Office of Michael J. McCarroll, where he handles client intake, case strategy, filings and representation. Running a small office requires juggling casework with the business side of law. He has taken on those responsibilities personally.
McCarroll’s professional affiliations reflect steady involvement in the immigration law community. He has held membership in national immigration organizations since 2009, including a period of membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association from 2009 to 2020, and participation in the National Immigration Project beginning in 2015 and continuing to the present. Those memberships indicate engagement with evolving federal immigration policy and practice, and with professional networks that provide resources and continuing legal education.
His practice centers on immigration-related matters. That covers the administrative filings and court appearances that immigrant clients often need, including petitions, applications and representation before immigration agencies. His work requires familiarity with federal statutes, regulatory procedures and agency forms. It also involves counseling clients on eligibility and on procedural timelines that can affect immigration outcomes.
Colorado serves as the jurisdiction where he is authorized to practice. Over the years he has kept his practice lean, favoring direct client contact and hands-on case management. The small-firm setting allows him to manage a diverse docket within immigration practice, balancing case preparation with the procedural demands of federal administrative law.
Today McCarroll continues to operate the Law Office of Michael J. McCarroll in Colorado. He practices immigration law, providing administrative and representational services to individuals and families navigating federal immigration processes.
