Knowledgeable and detail-oriented

About a year ago, I walked to Brian's office with a heavy heart. I consulted him for a stressful situation related to a relative on a visitor visa. Brian analyzed the situation and told me the likelihood of the worst outcome. But he seriously doubted it based on the information I provided. And he was... right (as I found out afterward)! He also told me what to do next in order to confirm if there would be any negative impact on my relative. He told me to use the right words. I did what he suggested and it turned out everything was alright! Through the consultation, I also understand how important lawyers are as a profession in providing "insider" knowledge about what would or would not happen. Thank you, Brian, for relieving me of the burden!

A life Saver

I do not know where to start, but my case was so complicated that i gave up on hope, i was out of states with a pending charge against me in the states, the embassy refused to give me visa to get back to the states and answer the charges.. i consulted many lawyers , all what they care was Money, Bri...an was the first to step up and gave me hope before asking for money, he was so dedicated and professional, because i was out of state , most of our communications were in emails, he answered most of my emails, even when it was at night his time, he was so patient with me . After all I am glad to let you know all that I am now in the states with my family and I am a green Card holder :) yay ... i received my green card within a month of my arrival to the states :) Thank you Brian for all your hard work... you are a truly a life saver :)

Immigration Court Master!

I hired Mr. Murray to handle my wife's case. She was detained by immigracion and was about to be deported to Honduras and he was able to file a motion with the court and after a long process we find out recently that we won. Other lawyers told me it was no possible without even hearing her story or ...they told us we had to pay big money and would not even tell us what they were going to do. Mr. Murray spent a lot of time with me at the beginning getting all the details and then took a lot of time to explain everything. And every step of the way his assistant called me to update me. Everyone in his office really works hard and cares! I would recommend him any day.

Conscientious & Principled

Brian explained the applicable laws and the chances of getting a favorable decision from the Court. He analyzed the case from a pro and con basis, and discussed legal options. He was well-prepared, and ensured his client was informed and ready when we appeared in Court.
