Legal support to obtain Green Card

I hired Brian to be my attorney for the process of obtaining green card (permanent residency status) for my mother. Our case was not 100% straight forward, even though I had the right make this request as US citizen. Brian was helpful from the 1st meeting, he explained all the details and potential q...uestions, we may get. He was very assuring to my quite senior mother, which also was great. He guided us through every step of the process, and his time estimations were 100% accurate, as we learnt after. He also helped me with advice related to my children's legal process, which was not even his case and tremendously helped, where other lawyers did not. I totally can recommend Brian as a great person and very professional and thorough immigration lawyer.

Immigration Attorney

Brian from Law firm Aust Schmiechen is a very professional attorney from the consultation to the very end of the case. With working through the difficulties of covid pandemic he was able to keep us up to date and very efficient in communication on our case( I-485 petition for residency ). Even though... our case was complicated after full detailed explanation, he agreed to take on the case.He was prompt to answer any questions we had and gave us a timeline of how the proceedings would go. His prices are fair and is flexible on payments. I would recommend him to anyone that is seeking immigration help. Let him hear your case. Once again thanks to the Law firm Aust Schmiechen

Outstanding, knowledgeable, and well-experienced immigration lawyer

Brian Aust and Aust Schmiechen team have performed exceptional service on our immigration case. After having a horrendous experience with our former lawyer which ended in a denial of our Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, my wife and I turned to Brian Aust. The first time we walk...ed into his office, we did not even know that it is possible to revive our case and get things moving in the right direction. After listening to our situation, he agreed to represent us and worked tirelessly to turn around our unfortunate case. Due to his effort, immigration knowledge, skills, experience, and professionalism, our case was later accepted and won my citizenship. Our overall experience was seamless. Brian was very efficient, dedicated, and passionate at every step of the process. He always listened to our questions and reassured our concerns. He effectively communicated the progress of our case, discussed different options at all stages, and offered guidance throughout the whole process. The level of support and care we received from Brian and his team far exceeded his compensation, given the complexity of our case. He put our case together swiftly and responded to our emails and calls in no time and was very patient in responding to our questions and concerns. Even when he was out of the office, his team responded to our inquiries promptly. I want to thank Brian and his team for the amazing work they have done on our case. I highly recommend Brian Aust to anyone looking for an outstanding, caring, and experienced immigration lawyer.
