Es una estafa

I hired her 7 or 8 years ago and after the first payment she disappeared, she did not respond any of my calls or text and a week right before court date we received a letter from her stating that due to a no contact/ loosing contact with me she's was no going to represent my son in his case... never ...did she replied to a single call or message and never did she try to contact me

The Best!

Highly recommend Ms. Linda Brandmiller to anyone seeking immigration legal assistance. She represented our nephew, a ten-year-old unaccompanied minor, in October 2018 until his permanent residency was approved in April 2023. She is a genuine person who truly cares for her clients and will relentles...sly pursue the best legal immigration path for them. Ms. Brandmiller stays in constant contact with her clients providing the approval status on each step of the immigration application process. She is extremely knowledgeable on immigration legislation and is thoroughly familiar with the entire process of how our nation’s immigration system operates. My nephew, wife, and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Brandmiller’s service. Thanks, Linda- we’re looking forward to your assistance when my nephew is eligible to apply for his citizenship!!

The absolute BEST lawyer I have ever had!

Mrs.Brandmiller is the most honest, caring, humble and passionate person I have ever met. She truly loves what she does and goes above and beyond for her clients. She will exhaust all her options to make sure she serves her clients justice. I was in high school when she helped me obtain my DACA card.... By my senior high school year in 2016 she helped me obtain my green card. Thanks to her hard work I was able to qualify for scholarships and financial aid to go to a 4 year university. Thanks to her I am a proud Educated Latina with my Bachelors degree. She opened so many opportunities for me and I am forever grateful. I have been a client of her for 5+ years and I will now work with her to obtain my citizenship. If you’re looking for a lawyer that truly cares about you and your case, Mrs. Brandmiller is your way to go!

Worst lawyer ever!

Be careful and stay away from Linda Brandmiller, she doesn’t want to work neither do her job My story starts when I ICE detain me and I hired Linda to “expedite” my deportation the process, and nothing happened, When my court date was close told her I need to fight for a bond because it seems the ...fastest way to get out of detention and she told me we already went with deportation we cannot go for bond ASLO I am ineligible to get a bond, and even if I got lucky with a judge my bond gonna be high like 15000$ At the end, I got another lawyer who got me out on bond thanks to him DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY ON A LAWYER IS NOT WILLING TO FIGHT FOR YOU, Period.

I am confused by your allegations since I advised you from the beginning I did not believe it would be possible to expedite a removal (though I told you I would try) at the same time that you were requesting to remain in the U.S. Considering all of the time I spent on your case including visits to you at the detention facility, I believe it is an unfair characterization to say that I do not want to work to do my job. If you have any additional concerns please feel free to contact me personally. Best of luck.

I don't give up easily and I am SO happy that I was able to successfully reverse the negative credible fear interview decision! Best of luck with your brother's case and thank you for providing me with the necessary information to get him the lowest bond possible which is offered by immigration. It was a pleasure to assist your family with this case.

"I am very impressed with Linda's excellent quality of work, particularly on her preparation with clients on their credible fear interviews. She is a creative (essential in winning asylum) and passionate lawyer who will fight till the end for her clients. She fought hard for an asylum client who almost got deported if it wasn't for her determination to get him another credible fear interview. I highly recommend Linda as a trustworthy and excellent immigration lawyer."
