Review

Bruna did a great job! She made the immigration process for my wife's green card go very smooth. She was reliable and very loyal to us every step of the way. Any questions or concerns we had during the process, she was just a phone call or a email away. I like the fact that she is a very knowledgeabl...e immigration attorney. It felt nice to be working with an attorney that I can trust, and we felt very comfortable with her as well. Bruna! Thankyou so much for all you've done.. My wife is now a permanent resident of the United States of America.

L1B Visa Application

Bruna was hired to file an L1B Visa Application. Bruna was very helpful throughout and always very responsive whenever we had any questions. We believed her to be very thorough and precise. Because of her good work, we were able to obtain a positive outcome.

It's hard to find an immigration attorney so good like Bruna Frota!

I don't think that there is somebody who has tried more immigration attorneys than myself. My first H1B process was back in January 2014, which my process was taken care by an immigration attorney in Houston. On October 2015, I decided to change company, and as I was not happy with the service that I... got from this attorney in Houston, who was an American, I decided to look for a Brazilian attorney. I searched on the internet and I found an immigration attorney in Miami from my hometown, Porto Alegre. I thought with myself. I found home! That was the worst nightmare! She designated a trainee attorney to take care of my case, who did not have experience and never was available over the phone. When I had to find an inmmigration attorney to my Green Card process, I spent a lot of time doing a research. Fortunately, I found Bruna Frota on Linkedin and watching some videos of her about immigration law, I thought that she could finally be a good option. I got in contact with her, and since the beginning she was really helpful. To be honest, even after start the process I was always thinking with myself "She is too good to be true!". I am very glad to say that Bruna Frota stayed with the same demenour throughout my process, always sending updates, answering calls and even answering messages by whatsapp messages at evening. I have to say that she is amazing! I recommend her service to anyone that I know, and I fell safe and comfortable doing that.

Exceptional service

I am extremely satisfied with Ms. Frota. My husband and I were applying for his green card and we had so many questions. Not only did I feel secure in the answers she gave us, she responded quickly and made sure we understood each step of the process. She kept us up to date with all the proceedings a...nd gave us forecasts of what was due next and how to proceed. We were applying from abroad which required dealing with international embassies and consulates and she handled all the details flawlessly. She was quick to reply to texts, phone calls, and emails making sure that we had everything submitted in the right order and in the right way. Needless to say, the process is long, but only from the processing side from the governments. She submitted all the forms and stayed on top of the whole process while keeping us in the loop. She acted as quickly and efficiently as she could from her end. Now we are living in America and we are so relieved to have our green card. From the beginning to the end of our case, Ms. Frota was an excellent lawyer and I can highly recommend her with no reservations.
