Excellent attorney with my highest recommendations

After searching for attorneys in many different places, which include the bar association and internet sites, I came across Mr. Bruce Coane's profile and professional history. After reading all the client's comments and performance reviews, I decided to contact him for a consultation on a pending la...bor discrimination case that I had. He was very thourough with his questions and clear on the possibilities in regards to my case. He immediately put me at ease, was very professional and knowledgeable. During the development of my case, he was always encouraging without making false promises. In the end, he won my case in a shorter than expected amount of time. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with legal issues.

Excellence in Action: Mr Bruce Coane

Bruce Coane’s outstanding success is due to his excellent legal knowledge, professional experience in the field and the ability to understand the unique requirements of my EB1 case. Mr Coane’s legal expertise is extensive on national and international levels. He has a thorough understanding of the sp...ecific needs regarding immigration law and how these laws operate in specific client contexts. Mr Coane takes time to reflect and construct the specific needs of the client and how to draw upon the client’s skills, expertise and experience to make a rigorous and credible case. Bruce Coane’s continued and acclaimed success must also be credited to his amazing team of attorneys, in particular, Abraham D. Benhayoun, Esq, who has gone beyond the call of duty to make my EB1 case a success. Bruce Coane and Abraham D. Benhayoun, Esq have collectively provided me with consistent communication and have always been available for me to visit their offices. Their collective dedication and expertise have enabled me to pursue my professional career in the US. I unreservedly endorse Mr Bruce Coane and his excellent team of attorneys whose ingenuity, integrity and intelligence secured a successful outcome of my EB1case.

Excellent and Highly recommended lawyer!

Atty. Coane is an EXCELLENT and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE lawyer!!! He talked direct to the point of whatever questions I asked which means he gives an honest opinion, very prompt in replying emails and updating the progress of my case plus the fact that his staff were so friendly. I first hired his servi...ce 5yrs ago for HB1 extension until the time that I became permanent resident. I recommended Atty. Coane lately to my aunt and she hired him, because my aunt before has a very irresponsible lawyer. Excellent, Reliable, Knowledgeable, Highly Recommended and Professional lawyer....That is ATTY. BRUCE COANE.

Best attorney in Houston

My family had this very complicated immigration case, most of the attorneys won't even accept our case anymore. Somehow we still found and hired a lawyer who's willing to handle our case, but all we had was rejection rejection rejection... At that moment we were hopeless. We found Coane and Associate...s through Catholic Charities by accident. I have to say that, we were very fortunate and blessed to have Mr.Coane as our attorney. First of all, he is very knowledgeable about what he's doing; secondly, he is very professional. He cares about his client and always keep us with updated information about our case; thirdly he does not only try to do his job, but also try to do his job well. He told us to contact him when we have questions, that's not just saying, he always answered our questions quickly. I really appreciated that. The other lawyer we worked with was willing to charge us for every question we had! I don't know what else to say, excpet I'm really thankful right now, after almost 10 years, we finally received our green card and it's all because of Mr.Coane. I highly recommend him.
