Best Immigration Lawyer in Lansing

If you are looking for a great immigration lawyer - please, look no further!!! Brain is truly amazing. We started our immigration process on July 3 and got interview scheduled in 3 months and got our green card. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in immigration field. He is always avail...able via email or phone, answers all the questions in details. He will not just collect your money and forget about your case - he will be in touch, guiding you thru the whole process until full success. Nikki- the paralegal is very helpful in filling all the forms and making sure we have all the required documents. Brain was with us on the day of interview and it made us feel very confident. I am very glad we chose Brain as our lawyer and highly recommend to use his services if you need help in your immigration process!!!!

Without a good legal Lawyer who knows how to go about get business taken care of you will find yourself sleepless nights and wondering what going to happen. Brian took on our case with very reasonable fees. He kept us informed all along the way. He's the choice we made for our case and he brainstorm...ed it and told what we would need to this token care of. I am so glad we chose him and his staff in our case. If you have that special case that needs a special lawyer hire Brian.

Best Attorney to work with - Highly Recommend

I was looking for an attorney for filing marriage based I485/130/EAD . I did consult a couple of attorneys before and wasn't really impressed. Finally a friend of mine pointed me to Brian, he is very welcoming to talk to, patient and responds to texts at the earliest. He knows his stuff. In case of ...his absence his assistant Nikki responds to e-mails promptly. He assisted us at the interview and everything has been super smooth and easy. I have received my GC, thanks to Brian!!
