Brandon went above and beyond to make our process as stress free and easy as possible. Everything was done in a timely manner and just as he explained the process to be. Brandon kept in touch, and checked in pretty frequently, and was always there to answer any questions or concerns. We are very grat...eful for all of his help and are recommending him to everyone.

Thanks Brandon

Brandon and his team communicate well, are thorough, and promptly complete the required paperwork. Starting with his welcome packet, I could tell he knew what he was doing, and he was the right choice. The greencard process went extremely smooth and efficient. Starting with knowing what pape...rwork to complete to what paper to include, and ending with a good interview because there were no mistakes on the application.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
