Exceptional immigration lawyer

Bryan is an amazing lawyer! We worked closely with him for over 2 years regarding my husband’s J1 Fulbright Fellowship waiver case. We won the case and I know it was because of Bryan McGowan skills! He responded to all of my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. He walked with us hand in hand th...rough the whole process and was always a step ahead. His innate talent in immigration issues and effective nature in handling and accomplishing specific challenges makes him a very reliable lawyer. Please based on the attributes, I would strongly recommend without any reservations Bryan McGowan for anyone that needs an immigration lawyer. He was a pleasure to work with and I know we will use him for immigration issues in the future. When first deciding what lawyer to use we interviewed over 6 different firms and Bryan’s was the cheapest in the area…and most knowledgeable and reliable. We are immeasurably so thankful Bryan is our immigration lawyer!

Excellent Experience

My husband and I are both foreign nationals who have fallen in love with Portland. We contacted Bryan to find answers to our many questions regarding visa and permanent residency. Bryan asked great questions, helped us understand our options and made it easy for us to move forward. We appreciated his... ability to demonstrate his vast knowledge and still speak in layman's terms. Bryan's patience, caring and expertise moved us from feeling lost to a place of informed decision-making. Even if we decide not to stay, meeting with Bryan was worth every penny. We would highly recommend Bryan for any immigration questions/concerns that you face.

Excellent Lawyer

I was referred to Mr. McGowan after I fled from an abusive husband who sponsored my K-1 fiance visa. Everyone had told me my case was very complicated so I was terrified that I would have to leave the country. But from my first consultation with Mr. McGowan, I felt hope again. He immediately gave m...e his full attention and a true commitment to my case, always in a professional but compassionate way. The self-petition he filed for me was well presented and very thorough. After I gained permanent resident status, I worked with him again to apply for citizenship. I highly recommend Mr. McGowan as the best immigration attorney ever. If not him, I would not even be living in this country and would not have had the opportunity to become a proud U.S. Citizen. He is honest, sincere, generous, and always polite. I will always feel thankful to him.

Highly recommended

Bryan was representing us in front of the Board of Immigration Appeals after we got a negative decision from Portland USCIS office. Our case was pretty complicated, but Bryan did excellent work and recently we got good news that our case is reopened. We are so thankful to Bryan for such a great job.... He is excellent communicator, very accurate and detail oriented. We would highly recommend Bryan to handle any immigration issue you may have. Based on our experience we can tell he is able to handle even the most complicated case.

I wouldn't go to anybody else

Bryan was referred to me by a friend. I needed his help for my green card application. He is patient, knowledgeable, informative, clear and caring. He's also very personable and fair. I trust him and I'm very thankful I worked with him.
