The best immigration lawyer in the US

Brian T. Richards is definitely the most recommendable immigration attorney in the United States. Having been denied a Visa before, my wife and I were worried about my wife being denied again. That’s why we decided to hire Brian to help us with the whole application process. I was able to successfull...y bring my Fiancé (my now wife) to the USA without any complications. When she got here we got married and immediately Brian continued with our case with the greencard application. Within a few months, my wife got her greencard successfully. I would recommend Brian Richard anytime to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. He never disappoint.

Would recommend +++

My husband and I hired Brian to file for a marriage green card. Brian and Nikki (his paralegal assistant) are very friendly, and always answered quickly all of our questions. Brian gave us clear instructions and a list of documents to provide for our application and interview. Covid made this journey... longer and more stressful than it should have been, but Brian and Nikki made sure everything was completed and submitted to the USCIS before the lockdown! Brian came with us for our interview and made sure we were ready and not stressed out. We followed his recommendations from start to end of this whole process, and everything went smoothly! We definitely recommend Brian and will be working with him again to remove the 2-year probation on my green card, and for citizenship in a few years from now.

For Khemphon

I want to Thank Brian and Nikki for all their help. Without their help and knowledge we would have never made it through this immigration process.

SUPER HELPFUL AND KIND

Brian helped my father to obtain his residence card. He was available every time we needed him. His support and guidance was excellent. He helped me 15 years ago, helped my mom, my Brother and now my father. Thank you so much
