Gunda helped us through our Adjustment of Status process. She and her Legal Assistant Emsada were extremely helpful. My husband and I had many questions throughout the whole process and they always had a prompt answer for us. I have nothing but good comments about their work and would recommend Brost Law and Gunda for guidance on immigration processes.
Gunda made our immigration dreams a reality. When I first met Gunda, we had already seen 4 other immigration attorneys without any hope. Gunda found us a road to documentation and stayed with us on it. After years of hard work, costs, paperwork, and so much waiting, we finally have a green card.
Gunda J. Brost is an immigration attorney (immigration lawyer) in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Gunda is originally from Oldenburg, North Germany, holds a law degree from Hamline University School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota (May 2006). Gunda went to law school solely because of her keen interest in immigration law - she always knew she wanted to practice in that area. She was inspired by the plight of immigrants she encountered while she was teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, such as exploitation of undocumented workers and families torn apart by an immigration system in which there seemed no protection. Gunda was admitted to the Iowa bar in 2007. Gunda is a former model and a world languages teacher, with experience teaching English as a Second Language, German, French, and Latin. Gunda's legal experience includes working part-time as a law clerk and later an associate for immigration attorney Antunez de Mayolo law office (2003-2012), being a student director for the Minneapolis Public Defender's office (2005), as well as representing clients in mediation proceedings in Hamline's mediation clinic (2005). Gunda is fluent in English, French and German, and she is conversant in Spanish. Besides her law degree, Gunda holds a B.A. from Wartburg College and a Master's Degree from Middlebury College, Vermont. As a fun fact, Gunda was a former Ms. Nebraska. In her free time, she enjoys reading, foreign movies, dancing, art, music and traveling.

Consular Processing
I felt quite apprehensive about my wife’s U.S. immigrant visa and we had a lot of questions concerning consular processing. As other attorneys I had contacted were applying fear mongering and only contributed to my worries and doubts, Ms. Brost had a calm, positive, and authentic approach. I truly appreciated her sincerity, professionalism, and expertise, which were deciding factors to initiate a working relationship with Ms. Brost. In addition, I was amazed by her patience and guidance. My wife received her immigrant visa and we are so relieved! Thank you Ms. Brost! I would absolutely recommend her.

She's Amazing
Me and my husband got married in October he is from England and we enlisted the help of Gunda for his immigration. She helped us get all our paperwork in order and sent in, her and her assistant are very sweet and knowledgeable about the immigration process. She was quick to respond to all our questions over email and kept us up to date on what was happening. When we went to his immigration interview my husband was approved on the spot for his green card, going into this I was very nervous but it turned out to be an easy and straightforward process. I would certainly recommend her to anyone out there trying to immigrate to America.

The only lawyer that can make you laugh in the midst of a crisis
I have been to many lawyers and have left feeling hopeless and miserable after talking with them but Gunda actually made me laugh at myself and my situation. In my book this is everything that I need for this battle but I'm waging. she looks at every possible nuance of your case and will direct you in the most appropriate way. This is the kind of lawyer you want Gooding you through the murky waters of immigration.

Service is good. but need to improve the organized skill and better planned about client's case
Overall, I think Gunnda offered a good service for us. She is nice and patience. I just want to give some suggestions about well-organized skill. 1) she should take notes when hearing client's case. It can help her have a clear picture and provide more options for each individualized cases. 2) she should double confirm the information with client before she sent the files out. If my friend's case is not complicated, I will recommend Gunda's law service to my friend, but also will suggest friend keep in mind to double check his information with Gunda.

Response from Gunda BrostDecember 9, 2014
I am sorry you were not happier with my office's services. I do take detailed notes when I meet with clients, especially during the first intake, and I always have clients look over anything to double-check it before I send it out on their behalf, so I am not sure what may have happened in your case that you did not experience this. I hope I will continue to improve and I hope I was able to resolve your case.
