6 stars attorney!!

Having Bruna and her team take care of our case was the best decision ever. They all are extremely professional, responsive, and proactive. They made sure we were more than ready throughout the entire process - even the officer was impressed by how well prepared we were for our Green Card interview, ...having all information on hand and every single piece submitted by our attorney. They are very communicative and dedicated to making the entire process as smooth as possible. I’m grateful we found Bruna and highly recommend her and her entire team to anyone!

Efficient, Kind and very responsive

Bruna was our attorney while applying to the H1B visa. She and her team have been brilliant, her expertise was clear, she was efficient, creative, straightforward, very organized and very responsive. She made the whole process easier for me and my company and helped us understand every step in the pr...ocess, also she can speak spanish and I am very grateful for that. I am hoping to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!.

Highly recommended

Bruna was recommended by a friend who has high standards. Now we understand why he recommended her. She is extremely professional, detail oriented, and strong technically. Bruna and her team built up a strong case for our green card application in a short period. She was always available, regardless ...of the time of the day, to address any doubts that we could have, including doubts related to immigration/VISA (not directly related to our application). Every time we required clarification, she would schedule a call to walk us through every detail, being completely clear with us and supportive. She gave us the confidence that we needed to pursue the green card. We are very glad that we chose her as our attorney and we can not recommend her and her team highly enough.

Competent , realiable and ethical attorney.

After a bad experience with a law firm in the U.S. where my relative’s EB1A I-140 was denied, I decided to change counsels and hired attorney Bruna Frota because she came highly recommended by some friends. She was very Throughly on her legal analysis and made my case very strong from the get-go. Her... team was always engaged and available to answer questions via text, email and phone. They were always available and met all deadlines promised which was essential in my case. I am a physician and thanks to her spectacular work I will be able to avoid the J-1 physician route and obtain my work permit before starting my residency.
