Immigration Lawyer

Brian and his secretary Nikki have been endlessly helpful. Always responsive to questions and full of helpful hints. A+ rating from us.

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.

Naturalization

I hired Bryan for my US naturalization at the end of September 2020. He was very quick to respond to me after my first time trying to contact. He replied with the necessary paperwork I needed to complete. Once I replied with the filled out paperwork, he immediately sent it to immigration. He was ...very responsive with me trying to contact him. Every time I had a question or needed clarification he replied in a quick and clear statement. After 7 months, I received my interview notification. And now approved, I will be having my oath ceremony in June. I definitely recommend Bryan’s services for anyone that needs help in becoming a citizen.

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.

Highly recommended

My husband and I were recommended by a friend to hire Mr. Brian Richards, to help us with the process to obtain a permanent resident status for my husband. Mr. Richards along with Nikki have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process. We definitely couldn’t have gone through th...e legal process alone. Even though the long delay due to COVID they always kept us updated and informed of everything needed for a smooth and successful process. We will definitely be contacting him again for the two year interview and would recommend him to anyone.

  • 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.
