The best immigration attorney

We had worked with Brad on multiple applications over a long period of time. He is an excellent attorney, very detail oriented and extremely organized. He handles every application carefully and does not leave anything to chance. I never had any issues with any of my applications due to this. I belie...ve any one who has worked with him will not look anywhere else for their immigration needs. Thank you Brad.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

Brad assisted me in going through two H1B visas, green card and naturalization processes, all successfully completed. Brad is always on top of things, very knowledgeable an very clear in terms assessing the client about all aspects of the immigration process. I definitely him as an excellent immi...gration attorney.

Brilliant & Trustworthy!

We have worked with him for so long, on multiple applications, some of which were complicated. Brad never failed to provide us with the right advice and the greatest support. He is trustworthy, super organized, helpful, very knowledgeable, and simply the best! I would not work with anyone else!

Great Lawyer

Great experience with Brad on multiple cases. What he predicted and what transpired were exactly the same regarding the response on a matter or the amount of time that it will take. Very knowledgeable on the subject.

Smooth process and well handled

Mr. Ortins handled both my H1-B and Permanent Residency applications. Both went smooth and as explained by him. We first applied for my H1-B (work Visa) and within 3 years we began the permanent residency (green card) application. He made sure that the whole process was followed as instructed by US ...immigration laws and regulations. My permanent residency was granted within 6 months of our submission, which is below posted average time for such application. I would recommend Mr. Ortins to anyone with similar needs or other immigration-related legal advise.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Brad for 25 plus years. We have worked together and have regularly consulted with one another on nuances in the law. He is my go to guy. I regularly rely on him to my great benefit in trying to flesh out nuances of the law. He is patient and knowledgeable on all matters related to immigration. I recently took over a case for him when he developed an issue causing a conflict and an area outside his area of expertise and he forwarded his file to me. He had prepared a remarkable brief to the Immigration Court in which he thoroughly cited regulations, case law, and policy memorandum from the Dept of State and USCIS. It was a treatise on this narrow area of the law and he made me look good as I was able to use this in the case I ultimately took over. Brad Ortins is the type of lawyer people hire."
