We won my case with Alex Brophy!

I highly recommend Alexander Brophy as an immigration lawyer. He is very knowledgeable, very attentive to all the details of the case, he has a very big experience in immigration and criminal law. My case was not the easiest one but we won it easily and spent less time in the court room than I even e...xpected! That’s a huge relief! And I will add - which I believe is very important- Alex is a very kind, honest and compassionate person who has a beautiful family. Thank you!!!

Un gran abogado, y lo mejor un gran ser humano

Después de tener varios abogados y al tener un caso muy complicado, era muy difícil volver a confiar en un abogado, pero el Abogado Alex Brophy fue muy sincero y me dijo todo lo que duraría el proceso, siempre estuvo pendiente y todo salió como me lo dijo, después de 2 años detenido logró sacarme y a...l poco tiempo también ganó mi caso, lo recomiendo al 100%.

Venezuelan Gay Couple Asylum

My boyfriend (now husband) and me arrived at the United State in mid2017, at that time I went to a paralegal office to search for an opportunity to chance my legal situation while I was in my 6 month of legally stay as a tourist. This lady gave me the worst legally advise ever, because she is not an ...attorney, something I did not know at the time, so We decided to overstay our visa. Almost two year after that, we looked to a second option, thank God, we came across whit Alex, since the first approach he stared to see the big picture and built our Asylum case. He made us so comfortable when we were filling up our case and discussing our fear to come back to our home country, he found so many evidences to support the biggest issue, File the Asylum over the One year rule. He stayed with us all the way until the interview, making a prior preparation section with us. Thank to that, we were granted the Asylum and we are looking forward to continue working with him in our green card process and our citizenship

Fantastic help, all the way through.

My wife and I hired Alex to guide us through the process of immigration. Throughout the whole process Alex and his partner made sure to explain each step to us and guide us through the motions. From being able to answer the most minute questions every hour of the day, to making sure we gather all... the paperwork necessary for each individual step, we felt relaxed and sure that Alex could help us with any little hiccup. We managed to go through the process much quicker than we anticipated, in large due to Alex and his partner's experience and a very helpful and respectful attitude they provided.

Great advice

Alex guided me through the Green Card process in a way that made the process enjoyable (if that's possible). He's really great to deal with, but bottom line, he knows what he's doing and most importantly, I got the card! He was always available by phone or email. I liked dealing with him and would re...commend him to anyone who wants sound, reliable advice.
