Excellent immigration lawyer

Everything in my case was handled very professionally. Brendan Delaney handled my Green Card application with expediency despite delays from my side. I appreciate the value I got for the money I paid, particularly when my case got longer and I did not have to pay more.

Annoying process made easier by Brendan and his team

I was applying for my I-485, and it is truly one of the most annoying and stressful pieces of paperwork I have had to deal with. I turned to Brendan, whose team have been nothing short of professional and knowledgeable in their dealings and made the whole process extremely pain-free. The legal fees a...re extremely affordable for the level of service and effort that they go through to ensure things go smoothly. Within half a year, I received my I-485 approval, much to my relief. I know it would not have been possible if I tried to do it myself. I cannot recommend Brendan and his team enough!

Great service!

Brendan Delaney and his team worked diligently and professionally, leading to the approval of my NIW petition. Going into the process, I was aware that the low number of publications that I had might hinder approval, so wanted the help of professionals. I contacted Brendan based on a referal, a...nd was impressed by the overall work produced. The fees for NIW petition preparation and filing was competitive with other lawyers I had contacted. Since part of the fee was contingent upon approval, I felt that they, too, had a vested interest. There were a couple of times when the team got busy, so I had to send follow up emails to keep pushing the process along. Regardless, Brendan was generally able to keep me apraised of progress, and responded quickly to questions and concerns that I had. Overall a strong recommendation - good luck on your journey!

National Interest Waiver

These guys really took care of my case professionally. I'm a scientist and usually I pay a lot of attention to details but I recognize that something like an application for permanent resident status must be handled by a good specialist. After shopping around for some time for an immigration attorney..., a friend of mine recommend Brendan and his team. Brendan gave me a free consultation during a meeting in Rockville, when I was still planning on applying for a green card. His clear communication and the information he gave regarding fees, documents, etc helped me to plan ahead my budget and necessary steps. Brendan and his team received and handled all recommendation letters and everything else that was needed for the application. Their attention to details was incredible and I was impressed that the recommendation for the green card (National Interest Waiver) came less than a month after the application. I also received my work authorization 3 weeks after fingerprint/biometrics, just on time to accept a good job offer. The permanent resident cards came in about 3-4 months (for all my family members). This really bet my best expectations! I referred them to a very good friend and he got the permanent resident status for him and his family faster or at least as fast as I got. Another thing that I really appreciated is that they don't have surprise fees (they have "flat" fees for each stage of application), which is a plus because the budget can be planned in advance. Just one thing that I really suggest is that if you need recommendation letters ask them in advance because it is good to give some time to people prep their letters and get them revised. Also, give yourself time to put together all documentations in an organized fashion but don't worry because even that will be done with the support of Brendan and his team.

Efficient professional service

I hired Brendan Delaney to process the final stage of my green card application. Throughout the process I was confident that all of the paperwork was being done correctly, thoroughly and professionally and that the application itself was being submitted exactly as was required. Attention was paid t...o all details and the administrative end of it was managed really easily via an online website facility. The entire process was done quickly and smoothly and I received my card within three months of applying to that final stage. Prior to hiring him and his firm, Brendan met me on several occasions to provide information and guidance as to the overall process, all without payment. He was extraordinarily helpful and was available as needed for additional advice along the way via email or phone as my case was quite complicated in respect of my current employer. I highly recommend Brendan. He is hugely knowledgeable about all aspects of the visa/immigration process, he will ensure all applications are done thoroughly and efficiently. Would have no hesitation in using his services again.
