Don't take it on yourself - Bruno is a Godsend!

My husband and I attempted to start out on the long, winding immigration road alone for several months (I am a US citizen and my husband is from Italy). Stopping in at USCIS offices, gathering information online, researching and inquiring with couples who had made the green card journey themselves… ...we felt OVERWHELMED. It was when we were referred to Bruno from that moment on, we could take a breath. From the initial meeting with Bruno all the way down the 2 YEAR road until our green card was approved - he was consistently kind, down to earth, thorough, ALWAYS AVAILABLE, affordable and just in general, took the stress from our plates. We had several, several questions along the way and we were sure to keep in contact, even through long stints of no news. We were never in the dark, as he would contact the appropriate authorities for status updates. Like I said, Bruno made us feel welcomed to contact him. We all know how lawyers can be! Not Bruno. He was like a good friend, helping us succeed. If only all attorneys could be genuine and good-hearted like him. If you are about to embark on this immigration journey, please do yourself a favor and hire Bruno as your attorney, you will not be sorry. You just give him what he asks and the rest is history! Thank you infinitely, Bruno!!

August 2018

Bruno helped a family member out of some legal trouble in August 2018. What really stood out from Bruno was that he did a jail visit on Sunday and represented him in court that same day (which is something I later learned that numerous law firms don’t do). He was very thorough in letting us know our ...options and by the way he was explaining them, shows he’s experienced and knows what he is talking about. When DACA recipients get into legal trouble, it can be very complicated to explain, but Bruno was patient in answering all of our questions and was understanding to the position this case put our family through, especially my sister. Not liking our options and the possible outcomes of said options, we went for a second opinion elsewhere, but while the other lawyer told us what we wanted to hear, she was not as thorough in the deliberation of our options. Not only are Bruno’s legal fees reasonable, but the time he put into our case by staying late filing motions shows his dedication to helping out his clients. He did very well in keeping us updated in every step of the criminal/immigration case, from the detention stage, to the court hearings, to his release. We were so satisfied with the representation and outcome of our case that he is now representing another family member that is in legal trouble. Bruno’s dedication, expertise, and professionalism are qualities that are difficult to see in practicing lawyers and those are the reasons we have continued to seek his representation. Money-wise, he is very reasonable with his fees and offers payment plans, which is a definite plus! Hiring Bruno to represent my family members has been a complete success.

100% Recommended!

We went to three or four other lawyers before meeting with Bruno, some of which we were referred to, and Bruno was by far the best lawyer. We went with him on the spot. He is truly knowledgeable about the law and what he does and he really is all about his clients and helping people. He explains thin...gs really well and will give you examples and doesn't mind answering any questions you might have or taking the time to reexplain things so that you feel confident that you understand. He is honest and straightforward and lets you know all of your options and possible case scenarios and how those scenarios might be handled. I have recommended two different people and they both have signed on with him as well. One of the people I referred even knew someone in the immigration field who had helped their family members and opted for Bruno instead. The other had a couple of appointments lined up with different lawyers (one of which was recommended by someone else) and Bruno was the lawyer with which they first met with and they were so impressed with him that they went with him on the spot and canceled their other appointments. He is a true humanitarian and is understanding of his clients. He deals with you directly and returns phone calls. He is also very affordable. We are so grateful for his help and recommend him 100%. Quote from Bruno: "I work for you, no one else." -Bruno Gitnacht. Nosotros fuimos con tres o cuatro diferentes abogados, algunos de ellos recomendados, antes de reunirnos con Bruno y Bruno fue el mejor abogado de todos y decidimos contratarlo como nuestro abogado en ese mismo instante. El si tiene un real conocimiento de la ley y del trabajo que hace y tiene mucho que ver con sus clientes y con ayudar a la gente. Explica las cosas muy bien y da ejemplos y no le molesta estar contestando preguntas o andar explicando cosas varias veces para que uno se sienta seguro de lo que uno esta entendiendo. Es honesto, directo y te deja saber todas las opciones y tambien habla sobre posible resultados y las maneras en la cual se podrian tratar. He referido a dos diferentes personas y ambas lo han contratado como su abogado. Uno de ellos tiene un conocido que trabaja con casos de inmigracion y que ha ayudado algunos de sus familiares y opto por contratar a Bruno. El otro tenia unas citas programadas con diferentes abogados y hablo con Bruno primero y estuvo tan impresionado que lo contrato en esa misma cita y cancelo las citas con los otros abogados, de cual uno de ellos tambien se la habia recomendado otra persona. El en realidad es un humanitario y es muy compresivo de sus clientes. Habla directamente con sus clientes y regresa llamadas. Es muy asequible y estamos muy agradecidos con el y lo recomendamos al 100%. Una cita de Bruno: "Trabajo para ustedes, no para nadie mas."
