I've been a client of Greg's for over ten years. If you need an immigration attorney who is experienced, competent, up to date on all of the current changes in law, who knows and has worked with judges and prosecutors across multiple Minnesota counties, he is your guy. He is respected among his peers... and has an impeccable reputation among his clients. If you think your case is complex, if you are worried, and think there is no way out, just ask Greg, he always knows what to do. He thinks outside the box, he is creative in the way he applies the law and he would never mislead you. He is approachable, stays on task and communicates with no delays. Irina, US citizen

Many thanks to you Mr. Bachmeier!!!

Greg has an excellent mastery of the legal system especially in areas of immigration and asylum. He is very responsive and able communicator. I have been his client for over 10 years. I strongly recommend him as a lawyer that understands the complicated asylum system.

I Highly Recommend Greg Bachmeier!

Greg Bachmeier has helped my family, and myself, immensely through the immigration process here in the United States over the past 13 years. He made the naturalization application process very easy and answered any questions we had. He genuinely cares for his clients and it shows through his work and... demeanor. My family has only good things to say about Mr. Bachmeier and it is an honor to recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, patient and consistent attorney.
