Help with naturalization

Brian helped me through the entire process, from obtaining permanent residence to naturalization. He had followed my case even when I left Michigan. Brian gave me important advice, prepared me thoroughly for the interviews and, most importantly, answered questions via phone or email quickly and exhau...stively. For all the above reasons, I highly recommend Brian Richards.

Great team

Brian has been our family lawyer for a few years now helping us with immigration matters. He is very professional, patient and helpful. Always returns phones calls and keeps you inform about any updates in your case. Nikki, his assistant as well is an excellent person. She would respond back to me ve...ry quick every time I had questions. They are not only doing their job, they care about you. They both work very hard on my case and I can say happy that I’m reunited with my family because they made it happened. I’m so greatfull for them. I would absolutely recommend Brian and Nikki.
