In all honesty he is the very best attorney and totally knowledgeable about all phasets of immigration. I will defenetely hire him and recommend him to anyone that needs an immigration lawyer. He answers all questions and tells you to do this or not to. ( He KNOWS )

Efficiency, Dignity and Professionalism (Spouse Green Card Application)

I have connected with multiple lawyers over the years in preparing for the immigration process of my partner where we have a few complications and he is the first one who works at the level we expected from a lawyer. Jeffrey was very quick with replies to my emails, was thorough, treated us with dign...ity and respect, addressed each of our concerns via phone and was honest by suggesting that we didn't necessarily need a lawyer as we were knowledgeable of our problem areas and the impacts they will have on our case. There was one point that he wanted to confirm following our call and he sent an email response within 30 minutes. I would highly recommend consulting with him and will work with him again should further issues arise.

Excellent communication

We consulted with Jeffrey Brauwerman, concerning a complex naturalization case and asked him a multitude of questions with regards to the naturalization process and Interview. Jeffrey was clear and concise on every question we asked, and explained the situation to us in a very simple, understandable ...way. We would highly recommend Jeffrey to anyone having questions regarding immigration law or the naturalization process.

Recommendation

This is unfortunate to read this poor and disgrace comments about Mr Brauwerman and his practice. His office helped me and many friends that had legal issues with immigration. He and his staff are very ethical and knowledgeable. He is honest and respectful. I brought a friend to his office and he did... not take the case because the issue was not relevant to immigration but criminal. He would never take people money if he thinks that his clients do not have a case that is backed up by immigration laws and jurisprudence. I recommend this office to anyone who wants to hear a honest, ethical, and knowledgeable lawyer in the matter of immigration services. These bad and unfair reviews are not relevant to Mr Brauwerman and associates. I know when someone is desperate he or she believes that the lawyer can change the laws and make miracles but Mr Baywerman stated to his clients during consultation: " I will do my best to help you, but the the immigration officer or the judge will make the decision." There can not be any more honesty than that. Last but not least, I prefer to pay a consultation fee and hear the truth and know where I stand with the law than spending all my saving and then being deported at the end because a lawyer lies to me in making me hear what I want to hear. I hired and consulted the Brauwerman and associates' office in the past, I have always been satisfied with the services. This office has also helped many of my friends and relatives. Many clients do not like honest and ethical lawyers. Apparently, Mr Brauwerman is being falsely criticized for his honesty and his ethical conducts. Mr Brauwerman, keep up the good work! You have helped my family in keeping us together in this country. Now, two of my children are studying in one the most prestigious universities in the state. If your office did not do a good job, who knows what would have happened to them if the family were divided at that time because of deportation by INS.I have many more to say about your excellent characters and services but words are not enough to do so. You are who you are. You make a difference!This review is from a real former client and a sincere and grateful heart!

No need to look any further. Jeffrey Brauwerman is the best Immigration Attorney in FL/ NY

Mr. Brauwerman acquired my permanent residency of the United States in Florida 25 years ago. I came from Vancouver, Canada and married an American, had all three of my children here. He did everything to make me legal, including accompanying me to Miami for my interview. The rest is history. He conti...nues to be my go to man, for my renewal etc. They don't come any better or more knowledgeable. Mr. Brauwerman was also a world renowned immigration judge.Mr. Brauwerman knows his business. The staff are more than courteous and professional.No need to look any further. He IS your man if you need immigration help! Sincerely, Natalie Sessa

"Jeffrey N. Brauwerman is the managing partner at the Brauwerman Law Firm, P.A. I have worked on many cases with Jeffrey N. Brauwerman. Attorney Brauwerman is the finest Immigration & Nationality Law attorney I have ever met. He is a former a U.S. Immigration Judge. In addition, he was regional and district counsel for U.S. Immigration and Naturalization service. As an attorney, he has dedicated over forty years exclusively to the practice of Immigration & Naturalization Law. 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. Brauwerman's ability to obtain relief for individuals with extremely challenging cases."
