About John

Handling complex immigration matters with a professional cost effective approach.

Immigration Attorney - 18 years in practice

Take advantage of the FREE consultation to see why "experience" matters.

 

I handle complex immigration cases involving Family and Employment based immigration matters, waivers of grounds of inadmissibility for unlawful presence (I-601), prior removal orders (I-212), allegations of fraud/misrepresentation (INA 212(i)) and prior criminal acts (INA 212(h)), as well as 245(i) Adjustment of Status cases.   I also have experience with U-Visas, removal of conditions (I-751) and litigating immigration cases before the Court (Cancellation of Removal, Bond and Detention issues). If you are in pursuit  of a non-immigrant visa such as an E, H, L, P or O visa, or have had a case denied, I am available to help.  I also have a great deal of experience representing University Professors and Researchers, Athletes and persons of Extraordinary Ability pursue their green cards.  Please email me ([email protected]) to determine if we can schedule a free consultation with regard to your immigration matter.

    Review John Broyles

    Ruth Jopson

    Posted by

    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!

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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!

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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.

    Anastasia Demos, Immigration Attorney on Jul 28, 2011
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    .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.

    Jeffrey Beck, Immigration Attorney on Jun 27, 2011
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    John is the ultimate professional. He provides sound guidance in a prompt and courteous manner. I refer clients to him regularly knowing they are getting the best counsel available.

    Kenneth Gaerte, Immigration Attorney on Apr 22, 2011
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I have worked closely with John on multiple occasions for mutual clients. I've always found him to be responsive, knowledgeable and -most importantly - accurate in his advice.

    George Patterson, Immigration Attorney on Jun 1, 2009
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    I have know John for 20 years. He is intelligent, organized, trustworthy and a hard worker. He is a natural leader and a great lawyer.
