.Our firm has had a longstanding referral relationship with Attorney Broyles, who has capably advised many of our criminal defense clients as to the immigration implications of their individual matters. John is truly an invaluable asset to the immigrant community, a group that is often vulnerable to others seeking wealth at the expense of a community lacking resources and means of reporting corruption. John Broyles, by contrast, has always been the voice of and advocate for the well-being of the Indianapolis immigrant community, and consistently treated his clients with respect, professionalism, and dedication to the resolution of their immigration issues. He is tirelessly committed to seeing that justice serves all and that his clients are informed about their rights, their legal options, and the avenues available to them in the resolution to their cases. One could not ask for a more thorough, ethical, and hard-working colleague than John Broyles.
