By FAR the best immigration lawyer we've ever dealt with- and we've dealt with a few! He & his partner are the first lawyers we've consulted who were able to give us options on our complex immigration situation. John listened well, communicated clearly, was clued up and up-to-date on his information. It was clear they've dealt with a wide variety of nationalities and I HIGHLY recommend John & his team to anyone.

Great lawyer, fantastic human being!
I went to see Attorney Broyles not too long ago when I had to prepare to respond to immigration following an unsuccessful interview. He’s a great listener; he took his time to follow my very peculiar chain of events and was able to understand and analyze my case. He then engaged me in an open and sincere conversation about what my options were. He patiently responded to all my questions, even the dumb ones, and I thought he was very deliberate in the way he arrived at his decision on the best course of action to pursue. He was very personable overall; great lawyer, fantastic human being!

Fantastic immigration attorney
My husband and I hired John to guide us through the process of getting my husband’s green card. John is a graduate of the university where I teach, and came highly recommended. My late father was a lawyer, and from him I learned that expert advice was well worth the investment. As usual, my dad was right. John made sure every form was filled out correctly. He promptly answered emails. He told us what we should include (photos, bank statements, etc.) and what we didn’t need. He made sure we knew what to expect at the interview. And he was there with us for it. The interview itself went very smoothly. His fees were reasonable and the peace of mind we had from being in his expert hands, rather than trying to do this on our own, would have been worth much more than we paid. This is the sort of thing you don’t want to risk messing up. Highly, highly recommended.

Thorough, quick, and helpful!
My husband and I were referred to John and his firm by an attorney friend to handle my Green Card application. We were both impressed by his thorough knowledge and friendly yet professional manner. The same applied to his staff associates as well. Whenever we had a question, we'd email him and get a response back in 24 hours or less, usually the same day, within a couple of hours. He gave us clear guidance on what supporting materials to include, as well as what to expect at the interview. He was there with us for the interview, but with all our material in such good order, the interviewer had only a few questions for us and told us she was approving my application while we were there. We can't think of any way in which the work he did for us could have been better.

The best lawyer
My previous lawyer failed my case and after months searching for the best lawyer who could help me with my complicated case we finally found John. He’s nice person and didn’t promised us anything but one thing I remembered what he said to us, “ he will do the best for our case” and couple years later he got me approved. Thanks to him and BKR law firm.

E2 Extention
As an investor and business owner it was very important for me that the application process is fast and hassle-free. John and his team prepared everything perfectly and I received my 2 year extension in a short period of a time. John is very professional and he is really great at what he is doing!

Excellent Advice
Visited John to ask about the right way to handle a visa for regular visits to the USA. John spent time listening to my situation and then freely gave advice about the best solution. His advice worked out well and I am most grateful for the direction that he pointed me in. Pleasant to talk with and a credit to the attorney profession.

Dependable
On our interview day John had car trouble, and he couldn't find a ride so he went above the call of duty and rode his bike several miles to be at our side. Overall I would recommend John to anyone seeking immigration assistance. His firm was very helpful and the process was smooth from start to finish.

One of the best attorney I have worked with.
I would highly recommend attorney John and the entire Broyles Kight & Ricafort Law firm. John is honest and clear from the start. John explained how my case would proceed in detail, he told me things I wanted to hear and of course the difficulties in my case that no one told me before. John devoted much attention to me like no other lawyer had done. Dealing with the Immigration Service can cause stress and fear, but when you're lucky enough to have a good lawyer you feel safer. Thanks John.

Great immigration lawyer
John and his group of attorneys are trustworthy lawyers. Mr. Broyles allays your fears on first contact. He is clean, personable, and very professional. He does not play delay tactical games to make money out of you. He does not call you unnecessarily and spent minutes or hours on the phone to make profit out of you. He plays the game by its rules. He has helped my family got our green cards within the shortest time possible. Without any hesitation, I will recommend him to any serious client. He is just excellent at what he does. --by IA.

John Broyles Esq. (Passport Issue)
We retained John Broyles when our Grandson was denied a passport. We had supplied all of the required paperwork, including birth and marriage certificates. Nonetheless, they denied the application because they said that an affidavit was required to establish the US Citizenship of our Grandsons Father; a document that the biological Father refused to sign. We then retained John Broyles to try and get this resolved. John re-submitted additional paperwork that clearly showed that our Grandson's Father was a resident of the US. Once again, even though, we met all of the documentation requirements, and then some, they still refused to issue the passport without the Father's affidavit. Most attorneys would have been pretty frustrated at this point, but John suggested that we as his Grandparents submit separate affidavits to the Department of State verifying our Son's presence here in the US. He prepared and provided the affidavits to us for our signatures which he then submitted to the agency together with a cover letter. He also, quite wisely, enlisted the assistance of a Congressman to help move the revised paperwork through the bureaucratic system that was, for no apparent reason, blocking the issuance of our Grandson's passport. Through the efforts of John, his staff, and the Congressman, the passport was eventually issued bringing this bureaucratic-nightmare to a successful conclusion. We highly recommend the services of John Broyles and his knowledgeable staff.

Confiable y con amplia experiencia. Sumamente satisfecha!
Consulté con el abogado John A. Broyles después de haber contratado una abogada pésima. John estuvo atento durante la cita y me explicó a detalle y con profesionalismo la situación con mi caso. Aceptó tomar mi caso, estuvo en contacto conmigo, incluso me acompañó a la cita con USCIS. Me brindó confianza y seguridad. Recomiendo ampliamente a John A. Broyles por su profesionalismo, experiencia y conocimiento en el tema de inmigración

Immigration
John and his team are fantastic to work with. They recently handled our Immigration case. John is very knowledgeable about this subject and he demonstrated this throughout the entire time he represented us. From the first meeting to the final interview with US Immigration he explained everything so well, very confident talking about the immigration process and was just very easy to work with. Also responded to any questions I had throughout the process in a very timely fashion. Needless to say our case went through without any issues. I would highly recommend John and his team in the future. If you want a lawyer that knows what he is talking about, you need to look no further.
