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!

success in getting green card

There are not adequate words to express how very grateful I am to Linda. I can testify that she is a very professional lawyer! In less than two years she helped me succeed in obtaining a green card.   As far as I know, that is faster than many people. However, I am not only happy with the green ca...rd. Throughout the whole process I felt her carefully focus on my case. Although we were in two different cities with most of our contact by e-mail, she still handled the case seriously, responding quickly to messages even though there was distance between us. I did not know much English before and I also did not hired interpreter for help. But it doesn't affect my communication with Linda. Linda can clearly understand what I want to say. Her comprehension ability is very good! which makes me very surprised! In the whole case she dealt with most of the work and I had almost no need to worry. I only needed to provide her with information and write my own declaration, which was used in my immigration application. My English grammar is not too good, so Linda had to correct my English. Linda is a lawyer but also a very good listener. I suffered horrible torture and abuse and she has been helping me out of the shadows in order to start a new life. She cared not just about my case but also about my mental health. Thank God!  So I am now her friend and I am so proud! I often think of her, because she is a sincere and practical person. Linda has taught me a lot! I really appreciate her! May God always bless her!  I will never forget her because she helped me a lot, and she is very professional! The feeling is that Linda used to be my lawyer but she is also my lawyer all my life!! I am very relieved that she continues to serve as my lawyer. I strongly recommend Linda to you! 我对她的感激之情是用尽多少语言也不能足够表达的。我可以很肯定的告诉你,这是一位十分专业的律师! 她仅仅用了1年10个月的时间就帮助我成功取得绿卡,据我所知,这比很多人要快。然而,我不仅因为取得绿卡而高兴,整个过程中我都能感受到她对我案件的专注度和细心,尽管我们在不同城市,平常大多数是通过电子邮件联系的,但她处理案件的认真,让异地的我都能感受到,而且她回复邮件的速度很快。 以前我不懂太多英语,我也没有聘请翻译帮忙,但这并不会影响我和琳达的沟通,琳达的理解能力很好,她可以清楚地明白我想说什么,这让我很意外! 在整个案件中她处理了大部分的工作,几乎不需要我操心。我只需要准备好她要的资料,还有一份需要我亲自写的自白书,这个是交给移民局的,仅此而已。我的英文语法不好,所以她也有纠正我的英文表达顺序。 她是一位律师,也是一位很好的倾听者,那段时间我被发生的事情折磨着,她一直帮助我走出阴影,开始新的生活,她不仅关心我的案件,还关心我的心理健康,能认识她是幸运的,感谢上帝!所以我现在得到了一个朋友,我感到自豪! 我经常会想起她,因为她是一位真诚和踏实的人,她教会了我很多!我真的很感激她!愿上帝永远保佑她!! 我永远不会忘记她,因为她帮助了我很多,还有她很专业!那种感觉就是,她曾经是我的律师,那她就一辈子都是我的律师!所以我决定,以后让她继续担任我的律师!把事情交给她我很安心。我也推荐给你们!!

Thank you for your kind thoughts Simin. I was so pleased to help you when other agencies had turned you away.

A GREAT and HONEST ATTORNEY

Linda is a great attorney, very honest, knowledgeable, a great human being who cares about others in need, and very passionate about her work. Linda was always there to answer all by questions, replied to all my emails, and returned all my calls about my cousin who was detained at Rio Grande and lat...er transferred to Karnes Detention Center. My cousin had deportation already when I contacted Linda, but she help me to get him out on a bond which his deportation officer had said he didn't qualified for. She contacted ice right away and got him an interview where he was approved to get released on a bond. Linda also went to see my cousin at both facilities several times and that comforted my cousin and me . THANK YOU LINDA!!! We need more attorneys like you, God bless you always!!

I am humbled by your review and so very happy that I was able to assist your cousin. I will leave no stone unturned in order to assist an immigrant, especially one who is detained because the system is so very difficult to navigate. Glad we had a success!
