Complex & Difficult Immigration Case

Brian has been working with us for nearly 6 years, and helped us win a very challenging immigration case. He was always very responsive via email and phone, and helped answer all of our many questions. He took extra time to guide us whenever we asked for it. There were a couple items I needed to prep...are from my end for our case, and he gave me templates and examples and timelines to help make it easier for me. He’s also just a very pleasant guy to work with. Lastly , and most importantly, I didn’t feel like he was just our lawyer...I felt like he actually really cared about us and our case.

Immigration Court

my sister hired Brian for her immigration court and I was her witness. He spends time discussing the case with us . From the first time we saw him we feel we will win because he treats us different than other lawyers he understand the case and where we are coming from and he was always available to ...answer our questions even during weekends. I would highly encourage to hire Brian because simply he is the best.

Very best to make us present ourselves

We are very thankful for Brian for his help and time. He is always available whenever we called and tried to reach. Very prompt with his response. Never ever delayed. Was very particular about his timming. Was present right on our appointment date ahead of time at USCIS office. Train us well how to b...e prepared and well presentable for our interview. Did prepare us all the way explaining to expect not only the best but to be well prepared for the worst to come to. Knows a lot of officers at office to as the officer who was conducting our interview she said that she knew him and didn't need to see his ID. And it was only till the matter of interview date but next day emailed us if we had any further questions for further filling which we really appreciate of him and ready for his time and attention with any matter.

Truly professional

                        We can’t thank Brian enough for making our whole experience easy to navigate through! He was so helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process, always reminding us that there was light at the end of our tunnel. He truly made us feel important, as if we were his only... clients. Brian never gave us false hopes during our long immigration journey, he just tells it like it is. We can’t think of something that wasn’t explained, or communicated, or fought for. As a result we can noIw call US "home", and that is all thanks to Brian.
