Exceptional Team with Heart and Dedication

I’m so grateful to Attorney Yael’s amazing team for helping me through my long and complex case! Vanessa and Miriam kept me updated and guided me every step of the way. Miriam even called the day before my interview to comfort me — that meant so much. Attorney Taylor’s Zoom meeting was super helpf...ul, especially her advice to renew my medical exam, which turned out to be exactly what the officer needed. Attorney Naomi was also wonderful at the interview — professional, kind, and very supportive. After more than four years, I truly appreciate their patience, kindness, and dedication. Thank you all for everything!

Outstanding experience

I had an outstanding experience working with immigration attorney Yael Brudner. From our first call, she was professional, clearly outlining my options and the steps ahead without overpromising. Throughout the process, she was reassuring—explaining complex requirements in plain language, setting real...istic expectations, and checking in proactively so I never felt in the dark. Most impressive, Yael was incredibly **responsive**: emails and calls were returned promptly (often the same day), and time-sensitive questions were addressed with practical, actionable guidance. Beyond the legal work, Yael brings a human touch: calm, empathetic, and focused on reducing stress during a high-stakes process. If you’re looking for an immigration attorney who is professional, reassuring, and responsive, I strongly recommend Yael Brudner. She made a complicated process feel manageable and gave me confidence at every step.

3 Year Bar Removed & Visa APPROVED!

Yael, Miriam, and the team are incredible! An exceptionally valuable law firm to work with they guided me through an extremely complex and challenging case. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, we succeeded in lifting the 3-Year Bar and securing my E2 visa after a five-year uphill climb.... I’m beyond grateful to have had such a brilliant, supportive, and tenacious team by my side

"Yael is a highly skilled, ethical, compassionate immigration attorney. We speak regularly to brainstorm strategies for our respective clients, so I know the level of detail and consideration Yael applies to her clients' cases; she makes sure all possible issues are addressed and that each case is handled like it would be if it were for her own family member. As an immigrant herself, I also think Yael brings unique and highly valuable experience to her clients. She can relate to their concerns about the immigration process because she has been through it. Yael has helped many people to achieve their American Dream. You will have peace of mind and be in excellent hands if you work with her!"
