Excellent Lawyer

Me and my fiancé went to see Mr. Brauwerman , we are in the process of naturalization and we wanted to clarify some doubts regarding a false arrest that happened to us early this year. During our meeting, Mr. Brauwerman was very knowledgeable and explained to us everything in details. We really appre...ciate his honestly and if one day we need the service of an immigration lawyer he will be definitely our first choice.

BEST IMMIGRATION LAWYER

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Brauwerman! Thanks to all of his advices and knowledge I got my tourist visa after being denied. All of the process was managed via phone conferences and emails since I was not able to go to his office, and it worked out perfectly!!!

Best Immigration Lawyer

My husband an I were extremely lucky to find MR. BRAUWERMAN. Our case was taking a very long time and we really didn’t know anything about the process till we met with him and his team. From start to finish he guided us through our case with patience and attention to detail and communicated throughou...t the entire process. MR. BRAUWERMAN and everyone at his office was a pleasure to deal with and was always available to answer our questions and give us advice. His knowledge is impressive. Our case was solved a few days ago and we are so glad that we selected him as our attorney and would highly recommend him.

From The Edge of Deportation into Permanent Residency

My family, my beloved fiance at that time, and my precious daughter were detained by the ICE and the deportation process began. We were in shock and desperate for immediate legal aid. Thank God I was directed by someone in my workplace to Mr Brauwerman. I searched online and found his website: t...he only fact that he is a former Immigration Judge gave me a lot of confidence. When we met at his office the atmosphere in the office and the high professionalism of Mr Brauwerman doubled our confidence and gave us peace of mind. The case was handled in an outstanding manner, starting with court hearings, removing deportation proceedings, filings, pushing the USCIS to speed up the process and ending with the final interviews. Basically, Mr Brauwerman pulled us out of the edge of the deportation and "gave" us the "green cards"! We are extremely happy now that our family has been preserved and we recommend Mr. Brauwerman to anyone looking for an attorney with an enormous experience and professionalism. After, all he was previously an Immigration Judge himself, so who else can one be looking for?

"Jeffrey N. Brauwerman is the managing partner at the Brauwerman Law Firm, P.A. I have worked on many cases with Jeffrey N. Brauwerman.

His experience and knowledge make him uniquely qualified and capable of analyzing cases and identifying the best relief available. I have observed repeatedly Jeffrey N.
