Excellent Professional Service

Our "Immigration" journey has been long and arduous. We were incorrectly advised by previous lawyers. After several years of waiting and hoping and going to lawyers that were referred by acquaintances and friends, we decided to take our own approach and research ourselves. During our research, we cam...e upon Mr. Brauwerman, we could not have been happier with his credentials and reviews that we found on the site. We immediately set up an appointment for a consultation. We were impressed by the initial professional attitude of the entire staff. Upon arrival at the office for consultation, Mr. Brauwerman greeted us, he was wearing the hat of his Admin Assistant who was out. From that point, we gleaned that he was indeed hands on and was very savvy in performing administrative skills. After the preliminary administrative work was completed, he then invited us into his office. We shared with him our journey and as we spoke the second sentence. He was able to detect that our intent was to have our child petition for our AOS. He was very knowledgeable and up to date on the relevant issues and asked us pertinent questions. He did not provide any false hope, just facts, principles and the law which is what you really want from a true attorney. We left the room knowing we would be retaining him for our process. If you are looking for cheapness and shortcuts, you won't find it here. Instead, you receive experience and professionalism. He also has a payment plan that makes it manageable. We provided all information requested electronically and we were very impressed with the transparency of how the trail of our file was accessible. We could tell each step of the way, what was happening with our file. Myrna, his Paralegal was always on top of things and responded promptly to questions we had. Our second and final visit to his office was a week prior to our interview. Mr. Brauwerman suggested that we had our petitioner be there even though he was out of town. He went over our entire file line by line and gave us an overview on the Interview settings. On interview day, while on our way to the Field Office, we received a call from Mr. B, which I somehow missed . When I returned his call, he was already at the office and wanted to remind us to check in and meet him in the waiting room. Our file was meticulous, the Immigration officer even commented that he notices that of Mr. B’s Client Files. The interview was very cordial. We were approved and cannot thank Mr. B and his staff enough. We highly recommend Mr. Brauwerman and his professional team. Oh did we share, that in addition to being a former well respected INS Judge, he has the greatest sense of humor.

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.

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

In addition, he was regional and district counsel for U.S. Immigration and Naturalization service.

  • 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.
