Just recently on February 13, 2020 a had my interview for a Citizenship. This firm truly is a powerhouse! I hired Chad Brandt, and lawyer Kelly Sanchez joined us in my case. So another word I had two lawyers watching after and taking care my case! Chad is very done to the point and Kelly is very detailed and organized. So this team truly is a powerhouse! I was informed from this office of any changes or any appointments in my case in a timely manner. And of cause prior to my Individual Hearing I had free of charge appointments with Chad Brandt and prior to my Citizenship Interview with Kelly Sanchez. Now it's a done deal! I got my Citizenship! Going to apply for US passport now! It's hard to described my happiness and of cause I will always remember and appreciate Chad's and Kelly's professionalism!
Chad & Kelly represented me in my recent Green Card application for permanent residency here in the US. The immigration proceedings took over a year because of the backlog in USCIS, but Chad and Kelly were by my side every step of the way.
From helping assemble my paperwork, to completing the application, all the way to the interview, Chad and Kelly made sure the process was smooth and nothing was missed along the way. Great communication and great service!
Deportation & Removal Defense, Business Visas, Investor Visas, Work Visas, Immigration Court, Criminal Court, Family Petitions, Marriage Visas, Fiancee Visas, Green Cards, Citizenship, & More
I am a founding partner at the law firm of Brandt Immigration, specializing in immigration law. I have extensive litigation experience, allowing me to successfully represent clients in Immigration and Federal Courts.
I devote a substantial portion of my immigration practice to deportation defense, both in Immigration Court and before deportation officers at Immigration Customs and Enforcement’s Detention and Removal Offices throughout the U.S. I also regularly represent individuals, families, and businesses in an expansive array of interviews and appearances before immigration officials.
Additionally, I assist both individuals and businesses in obtaining temporary visas and permanent resident status in a variety of categories, including visas for businesses, investment visas, student visas, exchange visitors, and artists and entertainers. Finally, I have extensive experience in handling criminal related matters in both immigration cases and in County Courts regarding criminal traffic infractions involving immigrants, who often encounter problems obtaining or renewing driver’s licenses.
I am a first generation Cuban-American who is fluent in Spanish, I come from an immigrant family, and have witnessed the challenges that immigrants face in the United States first hand. As a result, I founded Brandt Immigration based upon our shared vision to serve the cause of immigrants.

Very efficient law firm
I came to Brandt after having my citizenship application denied twice. He started the process from scratch with me, filling the application (which I had already done twice with another lawyer), when we did this I realized how many mistakes the other lawyer had made. Brandt's office was very diligent and throughout getting all the information rectified and updated. I had other documents that I needed to get for the application and Kelly was amazing at getting everything ready for me so I could go pick up the documents without any delays or issues. The Interview day came, Kelly went with me. I had an awful experience. The Interviewer was rude and nasty, but Kelly stood up for me, and did not allowed for that treatment to continue. After the interview she spoke to the interviewer's supervisor, she was very firm and very professional but she got her point across about how unprofessional the Interviewer was. The next day we met with Kelly and Brandt to write a letter explaining all the points we couldn't get across to the interviewer. The following day Kelly delivered that letter personally to the supervisor. After two denials, and an interview from hell, i got my citizenship. Thank you Brandt and Kelly, without your help, support, tenacity i don't think I could have done it. You guys are amazing!!!!!

Good Lawyer! Great staff !
He was really sharp and knowledgeable in case. I visited 5 lawyers before meeting Mr. Brandt , even after my visit with him I kept looking and all the places I went even the lawyers talked really good about Mr. Brandt practice. I decided to hired Mr. Brandt and it was the best decision I could made.

Our experience with Attorney Chad Brandt.
Our case was complicated. We consulted with two different law firms on separate occasions and paid thousands of dollars to them, after a lengthy time with each one they told us there was nothing they could do for us.
My wife and I refuse to give up our fight. My wife started looking for another attorney on the internet and found a Law Firm in Orlando and made an appointment for consultation, that is when we first met Attorney Chad Brandt.
I can truly say thank God for letting us find Attorney Chad Brandt, he was the nicest person and a great professional, we immediately felt comfortable and reassured that finally we met someone who really does care and will help us. Attorney Chad Brandt is not just our lawyer, we feel he is a friend. He fought our case passionately and we won, He was as happy and emotional as my wife and I.
Attorney Brandt and his team were wonderful. They guided us through the process and made us feel comfortable. They made themselves available to us whenever we needed. The staff is compassionate and a pleasure to work with.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU CHAD !!!

Best in the Business!!!!
While considering a good lawyer to represent my wife and I in her immigration to the United States. I asked my lawyer for his recommendation. He said without hesitation, Chad Brandt.
Chad has proven to be an excellent choice; he is very diligent, professional, has the respect of all of those he coordinates and works with.

I highly recommend Brandt Immigration
Mr. Brandt and his team are truly amazing people. We came to them for help in a time when we did not have monies to retain an attorney. He took our case pro bono and assisted us in reuniting our family. We couldn't be happier. We have referred several people to Mr. Brandt and jighly recommend his services.
