Excellent immigration lawyer

I would definitely recommend Rishi Oza to anyone. He is caring, very knowledgeable and most of all persistent in his effort to do what is right for his customers. Thank you very much.

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 Sum...an 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!

Green card application

Rishi and the team at Robert Brown LLC assisted me with my green card application. Not only is he very knowledgeable, he also ensures you stay informed throughout the process and that any concerns are addressed. The entire process was swift and smooth. I would recommend Rishi to anyone looking for a...ssistance with immigration matters.

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 tha...t 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!!!!
