Most Knowledgeable, Experienced, Explains Documents & Every Step Clearly, Makes the Process EASY & SUCESSFUL!

Attorney Chuck Berendes sucessfully helped me obtain my work permit, Permanent Residence (Green Card), and my U.S. Citizenship. ALL my 3 immigration service experiences with him were amazing! I was put greatly at ease throughout each application process. The fact that Attorney Chuck took the time ...to know me and my situation, explained all documents, applications, and the process with USCIS, and helped prepared me for and attended my Immigration Interview with me in Minnesota gave me a very successful outcome! ALL my correspondences and documents were sent to Attorney Chuck through email making this option very convenient, easy and efficient for me. He is very thorough and I NEVER had to follow-up with him about anything because he kept me updated regarding every status of my application, including every letter and notification from USCIS. I am now an U.S. Citizen. Thank you Attorney Chuck! If you need help with immigration matters anywhere in the U.S. or the world, Attorney Chuck Berendes can help you!

Great lawyer! Made my wife's immigration a breeze.

My wife is from Australia and she immigrated here in 2016. Chuck helped us the entire way. While we were in Australia, he guided us through the K-1 Fiancée Visa application and we got to the US with no issues. Next after we got married here, he walked us through the permanent resident application and... that went just as smooth. I would highly recommend Chuck as a lawyer. He explained the process very well so my wife and I understood everything that was going on. He pays close attention to detail and he did everything he could to ensure that our applications were accepted right away. In the next few years my wife will need to apply for her next green card and then citizenship and I know we will hire Chuck to help, no questions asked.

Great attorney!

Chuck is a very fair, helpful and thorough attorney. He was instrumental in helping my wife and I with her immigration. He was very patient with us and educated us on what to expect at every juncture in the process. He is very knowledgeable and coached us often on what to expect from USCIS. Chuck als...o accompanied us when we went for our interview in Minneapolis. His support was invaluable. He kept us calm by keeping us informed at all times. Thanks Chuck for all that you have done and are continuing to do for our immigration journey. We highly recommend Attorney Chuck Berendes!!

Administrative Assistant

I work for a local company that employs skilled immigrant workers from time to time. Chuck has worked with me from start to finish on many cases getting the necessary immigration paper work completed correctly and in a timely manner. He answers all correspondence sent to him without delay, and is e...asy to reach either by phone or email. Chuck has a kind disposition and always puts our clients at ease. He has met or exceeds expectations each and every time we use his services. I strongly recommend him for legal needs
