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.

Feedback from being represented by Alex Brophy

My experience with Brophy & Lenahan, PC was outstanding. Applying for Permanent Resident card is normally a very tough process. I had no idea where or how to start and how everything would end. Mr. Brophy and Ms Lenahan were more helpful than I would have ever expected. I was a LGBT client with a lis...t of questions that I'm sure was longer than most, but none went unanswered. They made me feel comfortable in a tough time, confident that I was going to be fine, and most importantly knowledgeable about every step that we went through along the way. I say the most important thing was the knowledge that Mr. Brophy and Ms Lenahan gave me because when I came to them with questions they didn't just answer them by telling me things will be okay, they told me why they will be fine and the steps that would take place to answer and solve each of my concerns. I would recommend Brophy and Lenahan, Pc to anyone including friends and family. Applying for a permanent status is not a fun situation to go through alone, but with the help of Alex and Kate you will get the care, knowledge, and support to feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you again Alex and Kate!
