5 stars

... Case was sent late, missed interview two times, no hard copies or originals! in hands and lack of ideas how to save my soul I walked in Mr. Newcomb's office desperately seeking help. My case was a total mess! Brent and Agata started working on my case right away! They provided me with ways to re...solve my as I thought dead-end situation and started working on it immediately. So you understand what I mean: I filed for asylum 03.2015 and became a Brent's client 04.2023 and 07.05.2023 I had an interview scheduled! What? WHAT??? Oh my lord. I couldn't believe that after 8 years of waiting, Mr Newcomb got me an interview in the first 3 months of being his client (and again, my whole case hasn't been updated since 2015)! I'm blessed ive met Brent and relied on his professional opinion and advice. My actual interview at the immigration office had hiccups too, but because Mr. Newcomb was present with me during the actual interview i had confidence that I'm legally protected no matter what. The office was acting weird on the day of the interview, they said they don't have a copy of my case (REALLY?!) but Brent was ready to ANY unplanned scenarios and pulled another hard copy and let immigration officer to get familiar with my case. At some point I had feeling that Mr Newcomb was even more prepared for my interview than I was lol I'm sorry. I think back about that day and I want to laugh hysterically. Anyway, after 8 years of waiting, late filing, 2 missed appointments, missing about 90% of supporting documents with help of Mr Newcomb i got an asylum approval! Brent and Agata, thank you so much, guys, for your help, your time and that you believed in my case (not like some other incompetent lawyers out there).

Just won the case after 8 years

Very professional Lawyer. Mr. Brent helped me not only to win my case but also to move my case after so many years of waiting. I am glad that I did it with him. He was very supportive. His office is great. He will go thru all the process and every time when you have questions you will get a quick ans...wer . But still remember always be responsible too as a client . I am really glad that I had opportunity to work with him.

Great experience

I am extremely happy with my attorney Brent Newcomb. He has great communication skills, speaks both Russian and English, which was just perfect for me at the very beginning. Brent is very polite, excellent listener, he will never interrupt while you’re speaking. First he will listen to you, and then,... step by step, he will answer all your questions and advise all your concerns easily and clearly. He was always responsive to my calls and emails. His assistant Agata was also very nice and helpful during the whole process of the preparation of all the documents we needed to submit. We also noticed that they will never offer you the services you don’t really need. So we could feel that they were really trying to help us, but not charging here and there. Brent Newcomb attended my asylum interview and made the necessary explanations to my officer in time and in a proper manner. He is a professional. And before the interview he explains you in details, what to expect during this procedure, and how to answer specific questions, which gives you this feeling of confidence. My asylum status was approved in 6 days after the actual interview. And this is great! Now me and my husband have all the documents we need. Very satisfied and very grateful to Brent and his assistant Agata! God bless them!

extremely unprofessional, lack of knoweledge

extremely displeased with him, very polite until he gets paid, then show the attitude, very unprofessional and very rude, missed meetings, never returns phone calls, one of the worst experiences i've had with an attorney. waste of money and time. moving my naturalization case to someone else.

This is not a real review. It is from disgruntled ex-employee fired for doing illegal notario work on the side for a friend. Our office has been in operation for nearly 18 years and has a high reputation for quality and dedication for service. It would be absurd to be in business this long with all of the accusations in this review. For real client referrals, my office will be happy to provide these.

I hired Mr. Brent while being already in removal with my asylum case. He attended on my behalf few hearings and I was granted a work authorisation. Meanwhile, I've married a US citizen. Mr. Brent helped us to file for adjustment of status. It took longer then usual because of 2 pending cases . Mr Br...ent also suggested us to file Mandamus to speed up USCIS. It was a successful decision. My marriage case was approved and asylum closed later on. Office stuff was always friendly and patient. Yes, legal help cost money, but the final result worth the struggle
