Amazing Lawyer

My husband and I hired Brian to handle our marriage based residency case. My husband wouldn't be approved for green card without Brian's professional help. He is professional, and extremely knowledgeable with the immigration process. Brian is also very responsive, which is important in dealing with ...these matters. His positive energy made us thinks positively for our adjustment of status and we got the residency card. His fees are also reasonable. I highly recommend him for your immigration help. Great job Brian

A compassionate, responsive, focus driven and creative attorney.

I highly recommend attorney Brian Sather! When I found myself in removal proceedings in 2012, I sought legal counsel at the firm, Immigration Attorneys, LLP. I felt confident that I would receive competent legal help and guidance at this firm. Over the course of my complex legal matter, I was repre...sented by Brian Sather, an attorney at this firm. As my attorney, Brian was able to construct a path that led to a big WIN! At the time Brian began handling my case, I was a foreign national without any “significant ties” living in the United States; divorced from an American citizen and in the removal process. I felt hopeless because I could not see a clear way to resolve my issue. My situation was complex! Using his good judgment throughout this ordeal that lasted years, Brian, while maintaining a clear and honest perspective, presented me with options and a structure within which we would pursue and achieve the best outcome. With his legal expertise, preparation, and perseverance, the conditions on my permanent residence status were finally removed and I was granted legal permanent resident status at the end of my individual removal hearing in 2018. Brian displayed his exceptional project management and communication skills over the five years that I was represented by him. This was clearly demonstrated in the way with which he was quick to respond; the way with which he handled information, revised and prepared documents, and files regarding my case. His keen mind and attention to detail consistently reflected in the quality of the work he produced. Brian was able to effectively find solutions and apply his logic driven and honest assessments as he continually worked hard to strategically overcome the hurdles unique to my case. Brian moved my case from California where it originated to Illinois and relentlessly created solutions to overcome challenges encountered; challenges such as a 2015 denial of a Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. Over the course of my deportation process, Brian actively presented me with long-range solutions to counter potential issues and prepared me for my hearing. Brian keenly answered my questions thoroughly whenever I asked them and exhibited his depth of knowledge and understanding of immigration law which became useful to me when I sought counsel in order to make decisions. He also guided me whenever I had questions that regarded the renewal of my temporary I-551 stamps and provided me with guidance if I faced a challenge to this request and others during an encounter at a field office. Brian has the ability to analyze a case with a "big picture" view. His analytical skills, expertise, experience, dedication, and hard work, are vital toward achieving the best solutions, especially when dealing with a case like mine where such solutions were not always obvious. I thank Brian for remaining accessible throughout the years of the process, for providing care and compassion, for listening and questioning in order to identify and address areas of weakness and in order to gain a deeper understanding of the matter. I am thankful overall for the diligence with which he handled my case. You will be well-served if you hire Brian Sather. Brian is an excellent and hard-working attorney!

Got my Green Card right away! Thanks Brian SATHER!!

Brian and his associate has helped me in every step of my permanent resident application. He's Not like any lawyers out there who will give you nothing but false promises. Brian delivers and he will make sure that everything is taken care of. His office provides outstanding services to every person t...hat walks in their office and will walk out happy and satisfied. Brian thanks for everything you have done to me and to my whole family. I will forever thank you and I will see you for my US citizenship application. For me if you have questions about legal inmigration its best to consult and hire the best lawyers in town rather than doing it all by yourself. Its best to seek an advice from people who knows what they are doing. Good luck and god speed to you! Thanks for being a big help to people like us who came to america and hopes for a better life and future. GOD BLESS YOU MORE!!! Please continue to be a blessing to many!!

Permanent Residency

Brian worked with the immigration lawyer I initially contacted. However, he was the main point of contact and appeared to do most of the work except accompanying us to the interview, which I think was because he was from a different state. The initial contact was present at the interview. He prepare...d the NOID response. It seemed like all the points he addressed were not reviewed so it was not successful. Brian adviced filling a new application which we did and Brian prepared the paperwork. Also, he adviced on the documents to provide to strengthen the application. He appeared to be well versed on immigration law even when I felt like losing hope he knew the parts of immigration law to apply for a successful outcome. Brian was very encouraging and he even helped us prepare for the interview. I would use his services again and highly recommend him with no reservations. Am happy to celebrate the first Independence Day as a permanent resident, thanks to Brian!

Brian walked me through every step of the way! From completing my application for naturalization, answering questions at any point in the process, preparing for the interview, and helping reassure me at any time. Brian's commitment, professionalism, expertise, astuteness to important and relevant det...ails, and genuine regard for his clients, makes him the best at what he does. I highly recommend him to my friends, family, and colleagues!! - Dr. Bashah
