Annette Brigsted

I am a resident physician on my second year of H1B visa. I was looking for an abbreviated legal consultation on what may be the best way for me to apply for green card. A friend of mine told me about how amazing Annette was and shared with me her contact information. I emailed her office and I got an... immediate response with a complimentary phone call appointment with Annette. Annette reviewed my CV and provided sincere, thorough suggestions on different ways to apply green card, and we extensively discussed the timeline of it, the strategy to establish good relationship with my potential sponsors, approximate cost of application, etc. She took time to answer all questions empathetically. She spent 40 minutes with me on the phone, free of charge. I will remember her and reach back when it is time for me to really prepare for my green card application.

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.

Annette Brigsted has been trustworthy, knowledgeable and valuable for our case. She was responsive to all our questions and concerns and we felt that we had an excellent representative to guide us through the legal system for the issuance of our Green Cards. I would gladly recommend her without any r...eservations.

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.

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.
