      Algo en lo que se destacan es en la amabilidad como te tartan y el profesionalismo con el que tartan cada caso. Nos dan un servicio excelente, muchas gracias por su gran honestidad y por tratarnos como personas y no como un número $$$ en una cuenta de banco. Les deseo que Dios les continue bendiciendo y prosperando grandemente.

      Best immigration lawyer in Michigan

      Posted by

      I'm so glad I found this firm when I was dealing with my immigration issues. I could tell from my first consultation with this firm that Brad and his team really care about their clients. Brad is so knowledgeable, and he takes the time to explain everything in details. He's very professional and his assistant Meagan is so so helpful. They really know what they're doing. I had a complicated case but these guys made the whole process easy. My interview only lasted for 20 minutes. I highly recommend this firm, you won't be disappointed. Again thank you Brad, I truly appreciate your help.

      TN Work Visa and U.S. Permanent Residency

      Posted by

      I hired Brad to guide my application for a TN Visa for a nursing position in Detroit. Brad reviewed every part of the application, provided council, and was available for questions at all times. His business location is well maintained, welcoming, bilingual, multicultural, and professional. I also hired Brad for a U.S. Permanent Residency application. His Paralegals were serious, courteous, punctual and bilingual. I was prepared for every step of the immigration process and ethical advice was always provided for me. Excellent lawyer, entrepreneur, and community advocate. Will hire again for U.S. Citizenship application.

      Exceptional personal attention and expertise

      Posted by

      My husband and I sought the legal services of Brad Thomson with Immigration Law PLLC leading up to my husband's petition for his green card. Throughout the whole process, Brad and his team were exceptionally helpful and always easily reachable whenever we had questions. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and personal attention we received from start to finish. Our case was successful, and we both would recommend Brad and his team to anyone seeking guidance or legal services in immigration matters.

      Outstanding Service

      Posted by

      We had the pleasure of working with Brad and his team for our immigration process and were floored by their professionalism. His entire team is incredibly hardworking and dedicated. From the initial consulting with him to our sessions with Meagan, we could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Everyone was genuinely caring and were quick and responsive to resolve any questions we may have had. We would highly recommend his firm and will work with them for any future needs.

      Everything was clearly explained to me and whenever I called my lawyer he called me back quickly and answered my questions briefly. The only thing I think you could improve is if you could do accessible your office for wheelchairs. You are really helpful for me. I recommend Brad Thomson 100%
