NIW
I just can’t thank the team here enough! The professionalism, timeliness and dedication to my case has been outstanding. Mr. Coane put forward one of his very phenomenal associates, (Mr Jurgen) who closely worked with me and provided on the spot updates and assistance towards getting every step of the process started and adequately addressed. The approval of my EB2 NIW case clearly shows that I couldn’t have found a better team. Thank you Coane and Associates!!!

Don't waste your time trying to solve the problem yourself - contact Mr. Coane's office!
I was working in a certain organization and once they decided to fire me. This situation was very stressful and morally devastating for me, in such situations you don't know how to behave, and I started looking for legal help. I found the website of Mr. Coane's office on the Internet. I called them and explained my situation. Mr. Coane told me everything at once, how to behave, how to answer correctly and what not to do. And this fact helped me a lot in the further pre-trial mediation on my case of illegal dismissal and sexual harassment. Mr. Coane represented me in a pre-trial mediation with my employer. The entire process lasted about a year, as the employer dragged out the process in every way possible, bribing false witnesses, but eventually lost, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Coane's team and his associates. In the end, I was paid a hefty settlement that exceeded my expectations. There was no way I would have made it on my own, because there were so many nuances and pitfalls in the case documents that only a lawyer who specializes in the subject matter can see. Mr. Coane and his colleagues are punctual, neat, obliging, and decent. All of my documents were analyzed and objective testimony from my former colleagues was obtained, which resulted in winning the case. I thank Mr.Coane and his colleagues and recommend their office to anyone facing a workplace dispute with a dishonest employer, bullying, or workplace harassment. Don't waste your time trying to solve the problem yourself - contact Mr. Coane's office!

Great Lawyer!!
We hired Mr. Coane back in 2011 to represent my husband in immigration court, where he was detained. With my husband's case being a difficult one, we didn't know what to expect. But Mr. Coane and his associates helped us, and made the process a little less stressful for us. My husband was able to get his legal status situated. And we are so grateful for all who worked in my husband's case. Love how quick they responded to any questions or concerns we had. My husband is now a U.S. Citizen! Thank you Mr. Coane and Associates!!

Mrs.
I describe Bruce Coane as a Gentle Giant, and he is a vessel God used to give me peace of mind. Atty Bruce and the great team at Coane and Associates are invaluable in finding solutions to problems, and they are like a gift of gold. Many people get faced with immigration issues, and it can be overwhelming both financially and emotionally. Still, Bruce Coane is a considerable resource one can consider because he will put his time and expertise into your case, and the result will be worth every penny spent.

The true example of what makes America great!!
My lawyer got my RN license clear for me. After 20 years of nursing got reported to Board. He got me exonerated God was the lawyer. BUT MR. COANE WAS A GOD SENT. He believed in a rural 1st generation college graduates. He did not show any biases. My spiritual aspect kept me. Mr. Coane kept assuring my licenses would not be taken. I aspire to be the best nurse, I only want the best & that is Mr. Coane. From my initial consultation I knew I was in the right place. He is “The Steph Curry” of the lawyer profession. He is polished, well dressed, & gives 100 % to each case! Priceless

Got a case approved on EB1
I had a great experience with this Firm, with owner itself and several staff attorneys. At first I had a phone conversation about my case, to discuss the possibilities and the price. Then in a few months I started my case; was submitting the documents, going back and forth with my assigned attorney. The lawyer was clearly sending my updates about what type of documentation to provide so that they could build a case; since I had many supporting documents already, there was enough to choose from. Then there was also an RFE issued, which was thoroughly responded to within a couple of months, and after that the case was approved after another half a year. Of course, as with all cases, there were long wait times during each step, but that was expected with immigration, so prepare to wait 3-4 years from start to finish. They were great to work with and I will highly recommend them. I got used to them and will even miss them after the resolution of a case, but best of luck to them, they truly change people lives.

Beyond Excellant
Bruce and Nancy are beyond excellent when they helped me. They gave me a sense of peace and faith when I was in my darkest hours. They were prompt, positive and transparent with every part of my case. I was updated minute by minute as things were changing. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to justice.

I am a business owner of a small school for Nurses Aides and a nurse in profession long ago
Attorney Bruce Coane was a highly professional and with his expertise he was able to get my workers to stay here legally. i have no problem paying him at that time because money is flowing like honey in 2000 while i was in my office at 2425 west Loop South. I enjoy working with his lawfirm and i could attest to his integrity as a lawyer and he is well knowledgible with labor laws that is necesary to be implemented if needs be in order to process documents for my business needs and my employees. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to do buisness legally in Houston and Miami. He is a fine lawyer that money can buy it was all worth it! Work with him you will never go wrong.

Bruce Coane is an employment law expert
Bruce represented me in mediation with my employer. At each stage, he would tell me "They will probably say xxx" or "They will say yyy or zzz". Then we'd make a plan to respond. In every step, he nailed it! I felt at ease with him and his expertise, not only at mediation, but during the entire time I obtained him to counsel me. I'd highly recommend him for help with a work issue requiring legal advice. Additionally, I worked with Matt Swiger, to complete forms and prepare for mediation. He was professional and knowledgeable.

best immigration attorney in town
Bruce and his team are amazing. He provided good advice, run everything diligently, was always available to speak and answer my questions and got me what I needed in less time that what I could have imagined. I keep using his firm for the next steps of my immigration process. He never dissapoints. I have many friends that hired law firms that took their money and gave them no results for months. Bruce is the best, no doubt.
