Smile at last

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Immigration Lawyer – Highly Recommend!** I cannot thank Brian Sather enough for their outstanding legal support throughout my immigration process. From the very first detention with ICE, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my case. What stood... out the most was their attention to detail and clear communication. They patiently explained every step, answered all my questions, and kept me updated on deadlines and requirements. Their expertise made a complex process feel manageable, and I always felt confident in their guidance. Thanks to their dedication, my green card was approved despite my complicated immigration issues. I highly recommend Brian Sather to anyone needing immigration assistance—they truly go above and beyond for their clients! **Key strengths:** ✔️ Expertise in immigration law ✔️ Responsive and transparent ✔️ Organized and thorough ✔️ Compassionate and supportive If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines skill with genuine care, look no further! Thank you, Brian

Asylum

I took a chance by choosing Mr. Brian as my lawyer, and it turned out to be the best decision ever. He was always available to answer my emails, and guided me throughout the whole process, even in the last 24 hours, he was texting and emailing me to make sure everything was on track. My case was comp...licated since I was in removal proceedings, but we won. Not only is Brian an excellent lawyer, but he genuinely cares for people. I highly recommend him if you need a great Immigration lawyer.

The best

Brian was God sent, he is incredibly good. My case started in 2011, I had two other lawyers for the first couple years prior to Brian, and hands down he is the best. He was patience, kind, and always on top of everything. Always having my family’s best interest at hand. He has genuine concern for t...he people he helps. Although my case was a tough one, his persistence, resilience, and hard work payed off. Today he reached out to me with the best news ever, my case is finally over and my family and I won’t have to worry about this anymore. So greatful and truly blessed. Brian may God bless you and yours.

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!

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.
