Great experience working with Brian Richards

I chose Brian Richards Immigration Law to help me with my immigration to the US. Brian always returns calls promptly and he made us feel relaxed through the entire process. My application was processed and approved without any issues. I made the right choice for sure.

Recommandation for attorney Brian T. Richards

My husband and me hired Brian Richards for my green card application because of his outstanding reputation as an immigration lawyer. Brian successfully completed all the necessary work with professionalism and integrity. I will look forward to continue working with Brian for my next step of my natu...ralization process. We highly recommend Brian for any legal work in the field of immigration law.

Excellent service, with great communication!

When I decided to apply for my green card, my husband and I were initially working with another attorney who gave us confusing information, conflicting directions and poor communication. We then found Brian through a family friend who had so many great things to say about his service! So we starte...d working with him and were surprised by him and Nikki’s efficiency, clear instructions and assurance for our application process. Our process went smoothly and my green card approval happened faster than expected, despite some delays we were expecting within USCIS. Definitely recommend Brian for any immigration application, excellent guy to work with!

Experienced Immigration Attorney

We hired Brian to guide us through the process of gaining permanent residency status and ultimately, citizenship for my spouse. Brian and his staff were always very helpful and thorough in guiding us through the whole process. Although the process is not a fast one, Brian kept in contact and was al...ways available to us when we had questions. I highly recommend Brian for his experience and professionalism.

Visa to Green Card with a caring Lawyer and Paralegal - The Best!.

Brian and Nikki (paralegal) are both amazing and caring people, their approach to helping clients is extremely professional. After arriving in the US with an L1A Visa some years ago both Brain and Nikki have worked diligently on my application through to GREEN CARD status. I am pleased to share my ex...cellent experience and would say these are the best, no need to look elsewhere.

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.
