Firm Grasp of Immigration Laws and Forthright Consultation

My Naturalization consultation with Mr. Brauwerman was painless and it was evident that he had a firm grasp of immigration law, while being forthright with my individual situation.

Consulted

After a long and tiring process of going through the rigmarole with ICE. Still going through it. My husband the applicant and I the petitioner recently filed for adjustment of status. Received a date in the mail (12/05/2016) attended the interview with confidence and boldness.. Only to hear the agent... said. "In my opinion you guys are approved however it seems to be a problem with your I 130. There is a approved, denial and approved in your file". I turned to my husband and said "what the hell is this? Is it me, or, are these people possesd with your case". We were very disappointed. I left mental distorted. On my way home I said frig this lets get the best attorney on the market. I began searching the web for attorneys. I came across several. I began to look and review their profile, some were very impressive. Then I saw Jeffrey Braurwerman. We spent atleast an hour researching all his credentials. Even the reviews. I showed them to my husband, and he said no when you see it like that, the cost has to be in the sky. I said heck, all that money wasted on all those other lawyers and nothing was done. I had a gut feeling we hit a homerun. I called right away. I spoke to Robin, she was very nice I felt comfortable. She was even concern about our drive coming in from Homested. She gave the precise location as if she was a gps. Robin gave us detailed information and was very precise. No hidden fees nor agenda. Our day for the appointment finally came this morning. The GPS took us to the exact addressed " no rerouting. Upon arriving we met Robin in person, nicer in person. She offered coffee, and made it too. 10 minutes later we met the WONDERFUL ANITA. At first I was a bit scared like oh my goodness she is like the immigration agent. Then I realized she was getting to the root of why we are there. She got stuff out of us that we had forgotten. "Wow on point ". I felt like family with her. 30 minutes later in came "the greatest in my view" Mr. Jeffery Brauwerman, and trust me I have dealt with a few. He made us feel comfortable and not like "second-class citizens ". I explained everything to him regarding the case he went as far as calling ICE. And found out that our case was under review. We spent more than a hour going over every detail, from beginning to end. Jefferey Brauwerman explained everything concerning our case as if he had been there with us from the beginning. I wanted to press the " hire button right away" he said Natalie , let's wait to see what the immigration department answer will be, before retaining us as your attorney". Wow he blew my mind. And you guys know that most attorneys, hungry are not, would have taken our money in less than a second. Mr Braurwerman, thank God your no longer a judge. Because, we would not have the pleasure of meeting you. And we are going to follow your advice and wait for an answer. If not, we will be driving from Homestead with pleasure to retain you. And Robin thanks for that coffee. .

Very Professional!

I had some immigration issues and I needed a lawyer, and I needed one who knows what they are doing. I made some phone calls to several friends and Mr Jeff Brauwerman came highly recommended. Mr Brauwerman was very professional and informative about my situation, he took the time to answer all my que...stion and did not rush me one bit. While talking with Jeff, I felt as if I was talking to a long time friend. I truly recommend Mr Brauwerman for any of your immigration issues. Samuel
