I was a bit wary of seeking legal representation from just any attorney for my Citizenship interview. But then happened to see the profile, high reviews and recommendations for Rishi, so decided to speak to him. While discussing my case with him, I requested if he could represent me in my immigration matters. My interview was the very next day and when I mentioned this to him, Rishi understood the gravity of my situation and instantly offered to change his schedule asking if I wanted him to accompany him to my interview. I couldn't have been more fortunate and agreed. I'd some complexity in my case so his handling my case was God sent.
Next day, on day of my interview, he met me inside USCIS field office and guided me on my case specifics. Once called in by USCIS interviewer, Rishi accompanied me. Where necessary he answered the Immigration officer and elsewhere allowed me to respond. At the end of interview, I was told that I'd cleared the interview (All credit to Mr. Rishi) and am awaiting oath. I found him to very knowledgeable in immigration matters along with a very friendly disposition. I highly recommend him and would seek his counsel when needed.

B2 visa
Robert brown LLC is a premier Immigration law office. Its service is second to none. If you are looking for results regarding your immigration needs, look no further. My husband and I had the opportunity to retain Attorney Rishi Oza and his assistant Marta Kiss for the B2 visa of my mother in law. The whole process took less than 3 months. We were very fortunate to have Robert Brown LLc represents her. Attorney Rishi and his assistant Marta are very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and responsive. They are the best. I will recommend them to anyone in needs of immigration service.

Excellent Service / Honest Service
I can only speak of our experience as everyone else's case/circumstances may differ from ours. I was not paid, nor asked by the law firm, to complete this review.
We hired this attorney, and its law firm (Robert Brown LLC), to assist us in the immigration process for my mother who was seeking Legal Permanent Residence even though she had undocumented status within the country at the time of application. We felt very comfortable and confident with the process as every single step was outlined during the initial consultation and were told what to realistically expect (Was nice for them to use the consultation fee as payment credit when it came to hiring them). Their prices are fair and even have a payment plan. Hands down Kristen is the best legal assistant out there. She was patient, knowledgeable, and timely with her email/phone calls. Thank you Kristen!
Comforting to know they update you along the way, and the fact that they take charge in contacting USCIS with any discrepancies on the receipts / letters by USCIS. The total process, from initial USCIS application to my mother receiving her LPR card, was a bit under 6 months. She was not even required to attend a USCIS interview, and i'm sure a lot has to do with the fact that all necessary documentation was provided timely to immigration thanks to the guidance of Rishi and the Robert Brown LLC firm.

First choice for immigrations
Rishi Oza is a gem of an Attorney. I have been in contact with him since 2013. I was introduced by a friend for my case and even though I never actually was able to have Rishi represent me because of the geographical distance, he has been exceptionally helping in sharing his professional advice always and very professional in every way. With the kind of support he extends, If I need to hire an attorney, I doubt finding a better one..

Attorney Rishi is the Bomb.
It doesn't surprise me to read all these good reviews about you Rishi. If mere words fails to convey what you try to express, the smallest thing that you do shows the depth of your feelings. Rishi is here for the job not for money. I remember our first conversation. This Young man calmed me down by talking to me about soccer. That was a plus. He went extra mile to get my I-175 and N400 approved the same day, though I didn't hire him for my I-175 application. A word is enough to a wise. Rishi, keep doing what you know how to do best. The sky is not even your limit.

I am a generally anxious person but Rishi made it a breeze. He went above and beyond to support and help me. The overall experience was so good...I was motivated to read the pledge of allegiance in front of all new citizens!!! Cant thank him enough!!!

Rishi and Robert Brown LLC
My wife and I came to Rishi and his team with very little understanding of our options for adjusting her status to become a permanent resident after our marriage. Rishi provided us with verbal and written guidance before we decided to work with his office so that we could make the right choice. Everyone at Robert Brown LLC was responsive and great to work with throughout the entire process. I do not believe it would have gone as smoothly without their expert guidance, and they saved us countless hours of navigating the necessary paperwork and appointments. 5 months after contacting Rishi, my wife has her green card and they made it as easy as possible on us.

SO THANKFUL
Robert Brown Immigration Lawyers are awesome. I had a 2 years conditional greencard and it's almost close to impossible to get an extension due to a very hard case. I just got my 10 years greencard recently this month of January. I'm so thankful with this smart and very outstanding lawyers. I recommend those people who are in their situations to get there service here with Atty. Rishi Oza and his Assistant Atty. Jeffrey Geisinger , they won't let you down. They never give up through my ups and downs and they are totally very helpful and understanding. I have a very complicated case and they solve it for me. 100% ratings is not enough to describe how excellent their service. If you think that you are in the right place and deserves justice Robert Brown Immigration Lawyers will give you JUSTICE.

Thank's Rishi for being there for us!!
I married my most adorable husband Robert Rickard, on the 1st of July. We really needed an experienced and thorough immigration lawyer like Rishi, to process, apply and help us with the adjustment of status applications (green cards), work authorization, and travel documents.
My Indian friend Suman took me to his office for information. Her case of green card was also handled by him. Rishi demonstrated exceptional customer services by completely reviewing all pertinent forms, and being there for us via email and phone calls through out the period. Most importantly, whenever we had any USCIS questions or concerns, Rishi was always there with professional assistance. With our above petitions, he also guaranteed his service for what we paid. In addition, he helped us during the interview process and being their with us through out the interview. It was a great experience and without his assistance I could not even imagine it happening. I got acceptance only after a few minutes of the Interview, and its solely because of Rishi support and guidance. The whole procedure of getting my green card, only took 3 months without any hassle.
His services are very affordable we are indeed fully satisfied. We highly recommend Rishi! Thanks a million Rishi!

Lawyer you can trust and rely on.
They are the best, especially, Rishi. He made the whole immigration process so much easy for us. Always took care of all the problems and made the process hassle free. We did not have to worry about anything. Just signed up with them and were care free. From the very first step, I had a feeling that it will be done and never had any issue during the whole process. Always answered all my questions and calls and gave proper and accurate solutions. I would recommend everyone to go to them.

Best choice I have made- incredibly high level of service and affordable prices in addition to extremely knowledgeable lawyers!!
I was about to apply for my second GC and asked my friend for recommendation of a lawyer. She recommended Rishi Oza (Robert Brown LLC). I was hesitant at first, but as soon as I spoke with them I decided to hire them for my case.
This was the best decision I have ever made in this regard!!!
They were very attentive and answered all of my questions. I had a busy schedule, so I could not meet with them in person. However, their response time was minimal. I usually got an answer to my questions or a follow up within an hour or 2 (during business days). They prepared everything and gave me straight -forward directions as to what to provide. I had heard that it usually takes about 6 months to 1 year to receive your second green card, but not with Rishi Oza and Robert Brown LLC (Big THANKS to Kristin and Elizabeth- You guys ROCK!!!) I received my GC approval in the matter of 4 MONTHS!!!!! This was amazingly fast!! During this process they were informing me as soon as they received any communication from USCIS in regards to changes to my case status. Additionally, they would always email me a copy of the official USCIS letters, which in most of the cases I received either the same day or later than the e-mails from Rishi Oza and company!!!
Such attention and follow up are not very often met and combined with the reasonable and affordable prices I was purely astonished! They offered such high level of service and even after my numerous questions I never felt like I was a burden!!!
BIG THANK YOU!!!!

Thank You Rishi Oza!
In late 2011 I was trying to find a good lawyer to help me with the VISA for my Fiancé. After doing a search on Google I came across Robert Brown LLC. I called their Office and I had a return call back from Rishi Oza. He explained everything to me in a way that even someone who wasn't a lawyer could understand. Both Rishi and his team walked me through the paperwork / process and took all the hassles from me. Just this week my wife got her Green Card! Without their help, I would not have gotten to where we are today! A very big THANKS goes out Robert Brown LLC but more importantly to Rishi and Kristen. My wife and I love you both.
