Helped navigated through a K1 nightmare!

I am more than grateful and very happy with the service provided by Brian and his assistant Nikki on my K1 visa. There was a mistake by USCIS which caused numerous delays, for reference my petition was approved 3 separate times by USCIS and went under went administrative processing 2 times, once by ...the NVC and another by the US Embassy. My case proved to be difficult and they were in constant contact every step of the way updating me on the situation. They made many phones calls and inquires on my behalf to USCIS, the NVC and worked closely with my congressman’s office to resolve the issue. After this experience I can honestly tell you they are true professionals and genuinely care about their clients. If I emailed or called their office they would always respond promptly and I can’t count how many times they sincerely expressed how bad they felt for me and my fiancee’s situation. Couldn’t have imagined doing it without them.

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.
