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.

Marriage-based green card

Brian and Nikki helped me and my husband to file a marriage-based green card application. They were both very professional, attentive to detail, and knowledgeable. Brian is very quick to respond to emails and questions, even on the weekend. He is always up-to-date on the most recent changes to the im...migration laws, which was super helpful for us. He prepared us for the interview really well, made sure we had all the documents, and came to the green card interview with us, which was also super helpful. Additionally, he helped my mother file visitor's visa extension during COVID lockdown, and also did a great job helping us through what was one of the most challenging times in terms of travel. We would definitely recommend Brian to anyone seeking immigration help.

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.
