Highly Recommended!

Brian and Camille did a great job for us. Despite some possible issues we still got through the process and received my wife's Green Card with no problems! We are very happy with their services!

Immigration Lawyer

Brian, has been my immigration attorney for the last 10 years guiding me through the employment based visa & green card process. He is a thorough professional during this whole process and helped me and my family achieve permanent process without any issues on the way.

I can't be more satisfied

My immigration case was very lengthy and complicated because of its nature. Brian had to work on a few different strategies that all lead to positive results. Brian laid out the path and explained the steps to me at the beginning, we knew it was going to take a long time but I knew my case was in g...ood hands. He succeeded to pass every step with positive results and I finally got approved for Permanent Residency. I'm very happy with his consistency and constant communications, 100 % recommended. Thank you Brian

EB2 NIW immigration - excellent service

I have been Brian's client for 2 years now. They helped me in getting my immigration I-140 petition in EB2 NIW category. I was recommended to Brian by one of my colleagues. After hearing his review I decided to work with Brian for my immigration case. Right from day one Brian and his team has been fa...ntastic and responsive. They responded to all my queries on time. I got RFE on my case which made be worried but Brian and his team has always been on top of the game to prepare rock solid documentation. However, they took their time to resolve issues and review the documents back and forth multiple times to make sure we are on same page. Now we are working on next steps of my immigration and I am sure Brian and his team will again do a great job Overall I would say, an immigration lawyer who has all the most upto date information and knowledge. I would recommend to Brian to anyone who is seeking any immigration benefits.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
