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 Leg...al 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.

Amazing Experience!!!

Rishi was a dream to work with. He was organized supportive and helpful. My journey to become a US citizen was made easy and smooth. He predicted every step and it happened as he said it. 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!!!

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.

GREAT Immigration Lawyer!

My Wife and I used Mr. Oza for our immigration process. We have nothing but GREAT things to say about him. He was very helpful, explained everything clearly without using "Legalese" and either he or his paralegal were always there to answer questions. He's expertise helped us get my Wife's green card... in only five months. He even came to the immigration interview with us, just in case. THANK YOU RISHI ! You really gave us piece of mind throughout the process. If you're in NC and need immigration help HIRE THIS GUY !
