About Brandon
Biography
My practice consists solely of U.S. immigration and citizenship law. Green cards, citizenship, temporary work visas, asylum, and removal defense are among the top areas of my immigration practice. I have helped many people obtain immigration benefits such as lawful permanent residency either through family-based or employment-based petitions, or through immigration court proceedings.

Immigration Consultation
Brandon is a great lawyer. I had a consultation with him so that I could understand the ins and outs of a spouse visa. He listened to my questions attentively and gave great explanations. I highly recommend Brandon if you have any general questions about the immigration process.
