Board Certified Immigration Lawyer with 20+ years of experience. Soy fluente en español 100%.I am a board certified immigration lawyer. I have many years of experience in immigration law.
Hablo español con fluidez y tengo una larga experiencia en casos de inmigración. Además, estoy certificado en Ley de inmigración por el Consejo de Especialización Legal del Estado de Texas (Texas Board of Legal Specialization, TBLS).
Considere que sólo un porcentaje muy reducido de abogados (el diez por ciento), cuenta con esta certificación. La razón es que todo abogado certificado por el TBLS tuvo que:
-Haber contado con licencia para ejercer la profesión legal por un tiempo no menor a cinco años;
-Haber dedicado un porcentaje de tiempo a la práctica específica del Derecho de Inmigración por un periodo de al menos tres años;
-Haber llevado casos de inmigración de diversa índole para comprobar que se tiene experiencia en el campo
-Haber tomado cursos de Ley de Inmigración en seminarios de desarrollo profesional
-Haber sido evaluado por jueces y por otros abogados
-Aprobar un examen escrito de extensa duración (un día completo).
Por ello, antes de poner sus asuntos legales en manos de un abogado, pregunte si éste está certificado en Ley de Inmigración por el TBLS.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Brian is conscientious, very intelligent, and an all around good guy. Always eager to help brainstorm a problem case, and possessive of that rare ability to show he knows what he's talking about without being condescending or pedantic, which puts his listener at ease, whether a fellow attorney or client. Additionally, Brian is very well-travelled, and has truly been affected by his experiences. Also, and unfortunately quite rare in his practice area, Brian possesses a keen appreciation for professional ethics, and is always straightforward with others, again whether fellow lawyers or clients. Anyone who knows Brian is fortunate to do so.
