Excellent Lawyer

I had the pleasure of working with Brian Getson for my green card application, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. Brian was incredibly responsive, always answering my emails promptly and addressing any concerns I had. His deep knowledge of immigration law was evident throughout the p...rocess, and he made sure that every detail was handled with precision. One aspect that stood out was that he scheduled calls to prepare me before my interviews, ensuring that I felt confident and well-informed. His guidance was invaluable, and it played a significant role in the success of my application. I wholeheartedly endorse Brian Getson and his law practice. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients, Brian is the one to go to.

Best of the Best

I haven't even received my green card yet but I am giving Brian and his team 5 of 5 for their professionalism, compassion, dedication, flexibility to each case. They are very knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and will take your case till the end. Hire them; you will be in good hands.

Absolutely recommend!

I was searching for a lawyer who could help my permanent residency application. Luckily, I had a chance to talk to Brian. He evaluated my case and assured me that he could help. We spent a couple of months to construct my case and his plan was well constructed with professional manner. Whenever I ha...d questions about my documents, Brian responded my emails no longer than 3 days. I felt bad about my many questions but he was so kind and willing to help. Now that I got my green card with no additional paperwork or delay, I strongly recommend Brian and his people.

Green Card

Our case was a difficult one. No words can express how grateful my family to Atty. Getson. Since from the start he was there to help us in every step. We know that he's the one who can help us. Truly he's an exellent lawyer. And mostly he cared. And now we're so happy because finally after the long... wait we got my husband's green card.

Brian getson

Brian Getson has been an excellent attorney. We have had several immigration lawyers over the last 7 years or so. We have been taken advantage of and lied to by many. We started working with Brian about a year ago and he has led us through the immigration process with grace and kindness. My husba...nd just received his green card, no doubt due to the knowledge and and hard work of Brian and his staff. Brian always responds quickly to any questions or concerns that we have had through this process. My husband had a special circumstance and due to Brian's research he was given the greencard with presedence from another similar case. We are so grateful, this has made such a difference in our lives. My husband has been reunited with his family after 10 years, and we can live without fearing his deportation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
