Bruce I. Yamashita

First of all, I want to thank the people who gave an honest review about Attorney Bruce here on AVVO. My husband and I hired him because we trusted in your reviews, they were truly authentic reviews and you all did not disappoint us. In 2021, after reading reviews from previous clients here, I gave ...Bruce a call. He was a very good listener and he asked the right questions that will lead to right results. My husband and I needed a good and a straight forward immigration lawyer and through reviews we both agreed to choose Attorney Bruce and this was the best decision we made. We started our immigration process with his guidance and provided him with all the documents he requested in December 2021. Bruce submit my paper work on January 2022. In 5 months I did get my work authorization. It was 2 years work authorization. There was no communication from USCIS until 4 months into the expiration of the work authorization, we got a notification for RFE.(Request For Evidence) So Bruce submit extra evidence to the already submitted ones. During these times I will be calling him. I remember during one of our conversation, he said to me, Joycelyn "the devil is in the details" so be patient and give me time to put the documents together and arrange them perfectly before we submit them. Indeed Bruce, you were absolutely right. Everything was put together and he sent them out to USCIS. Two weeks later, we got a notification that my case was approved. The most amazing part was that, we never went for an interview and I was given 10 years Green Card. Just give Bruce the requested documents he will ask from you and he knows the right details to write together with the documents. The experienced immigration lawyer matters when dealing with USCIS. Bruce is a very good listener, he responds to messages and phone calls regardless of his busy schedules. Just like my husband and I trusted other clients reviews, please trust mine. I'm not a robot or a paid actress, everything I'm writing here is my experience with Bruce. Bruce, Thank you so much for your services, time and patience with me and other Clients too. I am definitely recommending Bruce to anyone who needs immigration lawyer.

I have been in the United States since 2000. When I met Bruce in 2019, I exhausted all of my visa options. I had met a couple of immigration lawyers before I contacted Bruce, but none of them could give me any hope. When I talked to Bruce for the very first time at his office, he listened to my life ...story. He was a great listener. I remember I said to him that I had nothing to lose, so I want to take a chance and apply for a green card, via a National Interest Waiver. At the very end of our conversation, he said "We are riding in the same boat...it's a team effort." No one but Bruce said that to me, and he gave me confidence that he would work with me no matter what. Our process was not easy, but he was by my side through the ups and downs and winding road. He was always honest during the entire process. His favorite phrase was "I want to win!" and we did. I was truly lucky that I just happened to find him on the internet. I contacted him just because his last name was Japanese. But I did the right thing. I cannot thank you Bruce enough.

Bruce is a great attorney. Like everybody else, we were very frustrated with the USCIS processing time during the Covid years, and when we expressed our frustration, he calmed us down with his expert legal knowledge. He is also very dedicated with his clients. Whenever we ask him a question, he alway...s gets back to us very shortly. He is a great lawyer and a great person. We are very lucky to have him as our lawyer. Thank you Bruce for all of your help.

If I can give 10 stars I would. I am very lucky our paths crossed. I spoke to a few lawyers, but Bruce's energy is different, I felt very calm & comfortable. I had a feeling right at the first time we met that I was in good hands. Bruce is a wonderful person: good listener, humble, truthful, honest, ...positive and respectful. His expertise in immigration law really helped me to get my green card status approved really fast. He always has answers for everything. He took care of my case really carefully and responsibly. A professional who would go an extra mile to get the best possible outcome for his clients. Thank you for delivering such excellent work. A daily mantra I leaned from Bruce that I am using in my daily life: "Choose Love not fear".
