My lawyer

Brian was hired by me to help me bring someone into the US and the problem was I have 2 handicap kids the office worked very hard for me to be able to not leave my children to go there but in the the person did not want to come here he just played a game with my life and feelings so I let him go and ...moved on but I thank God for his help in trying to get a man I met online to America thanks Brian again anyone in need of a very good lawyer Brian is number 1 in my book.

Mr.

Brian did a great job working with my wife and I. He really helped ease stress as we went through the process of the K1 visa. He also showed genuine concern for both me and my spouse throughout the whole process.

Great experience

Me and my wife went to see Brian for my wife marriage visa application. He was always available for questions and assistance every step of the way. Very easy to get a hold of and when it came time for our interview went with us help ease the process and ensure everything went smoothly.

His Paralegal Nikki is very prompt and responsive with emails as well. They both have a very organized team and work ethics.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
