Friendly and Responsive

Brian has been super helpful and helped us a lot throughout the process. Nikki helped us to get all our documents together and they both are a great team. Specially during COVID-19, when our interview got rescheduled, Brian was very responsive and was just a text message away. Brian helped us to pr...epare for the interview well and know what to expect. I definitely recommend Brian!

Patient and professional

I have been a permanent resident for 8 years and was anxious to get my citizenship. Attorney Brian Richards and his PA Nikki are the best. They provided me with direction on how to fill out the paperwork. They quickly responded to my many emails. They kept communication open with me on the length of ...the process and were always very patient with me about my fears and anxiety. I hired Brian to attend my interview. He was very kind and reassuring. He stood up for me with the agents and makes sure you are treated fairly. I received my interview 5 months after I submitted the application and I received my letter approving me for citizenship 1 month after my interview. Thanks Brian and Nikki for all you have done for me. I could not have gotten through the citizenship process without you.

Great legal team to have represent you

Brian was very approachable, tedious to our case, and he and Nicky always got back to us in a timely manor. He accompanied us to the interview and gave us confidence to get the green card. We are currently awaiting its arrival.
