The "Go-To" Immigration Attorney

I had a telephone consult with Attorney Brauwerman today and I can absolutely say, this guy knows immigration law. My wife and I were very nervous about our current situation and he provided very sound advice and went into detail on relevant statutes about our specific issue and provided additional ...detail on how to mitigate our risk going forward. I would go so far to say, that this consultation possibly saved us extreme hardship in the near future with a family separation and a costly defense of immigration and court action. I am very pleased with his advice and in hindsight, I know it is the correct advice. If you want the facts (good, bad, other) and the best advice for your particular situation, contact this lawyer.

My journey to citizenship

Hi Jeffrey N Brauwerman, this is Frank Penzo, I'm sending this to thank you. As you may remember my journey has been a long one, being in the states since I was five years old, and now at the age of 31 I was able to acquire my dream of becoming a U.S citizen, without your expertise, knowledge, hospit...ality, and service, I would not have been able to see today in its entirety, so I thank you for helping me and being there, and I am forever grateful for you. Blessings to you and your wife and family.

Great Experience!

It was due to the excellent reviews on this site that I was motivated to seek Mr. Brauwerman's council with my case. Now I'm here to add my own 5 star review. A previous attorney was able to get my father his green card through employment but sadly I had aged out and was not granted one. I stayed ...in the system for 10 years going through motions and attempts at the Child Status Protection Act to no avail. My old attorney told me to just wait and maybe Obama would grant "Dreamers" permanent status. He also told me If I continued with my I-130 I would have to leave the US and wait in my home country, not guaranteeing a favorable outcome. I then found myself in Mr. Brauwerman's office with hope he could make sense of my case. I was emotionally moved when he assured me my case would be solved and that he had the means to do it. He was able to thoroughly analyze 10 years of receipts and notices to find the one paper that would give me solace. Eight months later, I am a permanent resident. My green card came on the mail and I could not be happier with Mr. Brauwerman and his firm. The office staff is super helpful and will guide you painlessly though the process. Thanks again!

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!

"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."
