Highly Recommended - Excellent Immigration Attorney!

I have been worked with Ms.Bruen for a long time (8 years) now. She is excellent at what she does; highly trained in immigration issues. She has worked with me on many occasions, on a yearly basis - specifically, as it relates to employment based immigration. Throughout our process, she was very pr...ofessional, taking personal care and the time to answer each of my questions. She is extremely reliable and willing to work any complex case. She made sure that I was comfortable with everything and guided me through the process in a smooth, efficient manner. I highly recommend her!

Student Visa Success!

After contacting several immigration attorneys and being misinformed, I was lucky enough to be referred to Mrs. Bruen. With her advice and legal counseling we were able to find the best solution to my situation. Even though I was not able to change my status while in the US, I was able to successfull...y obtain my visa abroad. She guided me through the process, from filling all the application to getting my interview ready. I am now ready to go back to the US with a student visa and start a new stage in my life. Highly recommended!

I highly Recommend Elizabeth Rompf Bruen as a Lawyer, She will not give up on you.

Elizabeth had lots of perseverance, Elizabeth worked really hard on my case. My case required many hours of work, but Elizabeth did a job well done on my case. Elizabeth has been a great lawyer in my Immigration case. I would strongly recommend her, because she had faith in my case and did not give u...p not once. She also gave me inspiration and hope. I thank all her hard work so much, because of her hard work and dedication, I am not a citizen of the United States. She was not only my lawyer, but a friend also. She showed her dedication and is highly intelligent in her field. Elizabeth's hard work and dedication has made a great difference in my life. It has changed my thinking too. I know there is hope in life.

Highly Professional and wonderful person to work with

I am her former client and she handled my Citizenship case. She was very professional and thorough in imparting knowledge as what to expect at the interview. At the interview she was of immense help her little gesture and a comment was a life saver for me. I would highly recommend her.

Excellent immigration lawyer

Elizabeth has been our immigration lawyer on two different occasions, the first one to get conditional permanent residency and the second time to have those conditions removed. Throughout both experiences she has been very professional. She took the time to answer every question we had and made s...ure that we were comfortable through the entire process. She responded to emails and phone calls very quickly, and is extremely reliable. A few years ago we had to travel out of the country and had still not received a travel document from immigration. She went with us to the USCIS building and basically spent the whole day there until someone finally approved it. We were so relieved to be able to spend Christmas with our family that year. Elizabeth has a great attention to detail, and as a result of this, both times we received a favorable resolution faster than we expected. We would highly recommend her to anyone in search of an immigration attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
