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

Great Lawyers

Brain Richards and his assistant Nikki Mesko are so kind and considerate of their clients. They can understand what their clients are going through with the immigration process. They try their best to make sure that they are giving their clients the best advice and taking the best course of action to... achieve success. I cannot thank them enough for being their with me through the process of applying for my green card. I was put into through tough obstacle but they were there to help me through that. Thanks to them I can call myself a green card holder.

Best Lawyer

As of last year, around new years time, I was devastated to find out that my wife's immigration process was being denied. I was in a very scared and I did not know what to do. I made a few phone calls and a few people got back to me. Brian returned my phone call immediately. I had most others charge... me double of what Brian Richards was charging me and he assured me that he would take care of me and make sure my wife would obtain her immigration status and get citizenship expedited. I can say that within a year Brian was able to get my wife's immigration status ok and allow her to become a citizen. The entire time Brian was able to answer all my questions, even if I had to call several times for clarification. I do not recommend anyone but this guy. Honest person, with honest prices. Never did he make me feel stupid. I am so glad! that I went with brian. I will not go for anyone else except for Brain.
