Annette Brigsted

I can't explain how grateful I am with Annette and her team. They are very professional and will devote their time to their clients. I had a great experience, and a fantastic outcome...just got the big news my H1B has been approved! They made me feel confident and were always there to help with any i...ssue or questions I had. I would certainly recommend them.

I came to Annette with after finding myself in a position of employment I was extremely dissatisfied with. My understanding of things given my visa situation was that it would be difficult or impossible to leave, with the only recourse being to follow through until the end of my contract. Annette ...listened patiently and offered suggestions about what to do. We spoke to her a number of times, racking up perhaps over 2 hours of consultation time before she even asked to be placed on retainer so she could officially work on my behalf. She knew much more than the attorneys of a group that was offering to hire me - my case was very unique and difficult, and the other attorneys didn't really know where to begin. Annette was extremely thorough and took great pains to make sure everything was in place before turning in the paperwork to make things happen. It was almost anticlimactic when we got the green light from immigrations with no questions asked. I continued to correspond with Annette even after we got the result we hoped for, for little things that she really didn't have to be involved in. You will not regret hiring Annette. She knows exactly what she is doing and will fight for you like family. Her default demeanor is realistic optimism, and will give you options when you might feel there is little or no hope. She will spend so much time with you on the phone that you'll start wondering if she has time to do anything else after your conversation. I intend to stay in touch with Annette long after my business with her is done. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I moved here to the United States 10 years ago, and together with my actual wife we put together all the information we could in order to apply for my green card right after we got married. Thinking that it was gonna be easy and take a short time to get it, we started the proccess without any he...lp, and it was after a year and some months that I got a letter back from immigration deniying my petition. We look for lawyers specialized in Immigration (three of them), and the three of them said pretty much the same: it was gonna be a looong proccess and no hope to get it sooner than 6 months if ever. We finally made an appointment with lawyer Annette Brigsted, and all the desilusion, discouragement, and darkness, turned into a "bright sky". Following the steps and providing her all the documentation she asked us for, it didn´t take her any longer than a month and a half to get a hearing for our situation, and another month for me to get my green card at home !!!. We were very impressed for the way she managed every little detail, and how fast she moved. God knows me and my wife are still thanking Him, for putting on our "rocky road" such an amazing lawyer and wonderful person that she is. Thank you Ms. Brigsted again and may God bless you forever.

I was referred to Attorney Brigsted by a friend of mine about a year ago. At the time, I was in what I believed to be a pretty desperate situation. Attorney Brigsted met with me and listened to my story without interruption. I could tell right away she was interested in understanding the situation be...fore offering any sorts of advice or promises. After an hour or so, she started talking and while she never did make promises, she made me feel like there was hope because you could tell she knew the law and she had a plan. The process was strenuous but her enthusiasm and resolve kept me going and kept me hopeful that things would eventually work out. A few days ago, I found out that her tireless work had paid off and that my problems were over. My case wasn't trivial, it wasn't a simple case of having to fill out of form and waiting for 6 months... This was a complicated and unusual case. Attorney Brigsted never shied away from the many challenges that it possessed. Throughout the process Attorney Brigsted kept me informed at all time. She made herself available to me as often as I needed her to be. We communicated mostly via email and she was very responsive, replying to my inquiries within a few hours and always the same day. It may not be fair for me to claim that she is the best Immigration Attorney in New England because I don't know many - but it's hard to imagine someone more dedicated, more invested, more professional and with a better grasp of the law than Attorney Brigsted. My family and I will forever be grateful for what she has done.

As a hiring Manager, I do work with immigrants we employ. In many instances some type of immigration paperwork must be completed to comply with the law. Attorney Brigsted was highly recommended by a company that has many more immigrant employees than I do. Ms. Brigsted is the most competent and capab...le attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She returns calls and emails promptly, and has made herself available even after “normal” working hours to discuss a difficult case. There is a reason why she has the reputation of being the best immigration attorney in the Northeast. She is able to resolve even the most demanding cases in a timely manner. Attorney Brigsted is an outstanding attorney that I highly recommend.
