Coane And Associates

I met Mr Bruce Coane, he was kind and patient. He knew how the law worked and was able to take me step by step through the process of becoming an American citizen. This process can be very stressful and can take a long time of planning and organization. Mr Bruce was able to guide me through these ...steps and really helped my life for the better. Mr. Bruce and his team are very professional and knowledgeable, they also had very good communication skills. Mr Bruce or one of his stuff always returned my calls and kept me up to date on what step was next and any progress that was made. I would recommend him to anyone who has challenges in becoming a citizen. M. A.

Green card taken at the airport

Great Laywers. I was scared that DHS might deport me since they held my Greencard at the airport without any reason but Bruce and Ajay handled my case. Not only I got my Greencard back but now I am US Citizen.

Excellent Service and Professional Results

My wife had her green card taken at the airport by DHS and it was incredibly difficult to get back. We retained them without much luck before finding Mr. Coane's law firm. His staff is very professional, and has had experience with thousands of cases, in immigration and we felt very relieved for t...he amount of time the firm spent on our case. Thank you.

Horrible Attorney

I hired Bruce Coane to file a VAWA(violence against women act) for me. I agreed to his fee of almost $8000. I paid $2000 down and $500/month for 3 months ($3500). He sat on my paperwork, when I called and asked when he was going to file my case with immigration, his assistant said he didn't know. ... He ducks and dodge you after he legally steals your money. I requested mediation with the Houston Bar Asso., but so far he has refused. He came highly recommended, but in the end, he sets you back sooo far, its hard to come back.
