Imigration consultation

This meeting was right on the money and very helpful. Very professional and covered all my enquiries.

Excellent Legal Opinion

I have been talking to many attorneys about my case and they didn’t know anything about my personal situation, they requested me time to make a Legal Research, Mr. Brauwerman knew from the first moment what I was talking about and gave me detailed answers for every question that I asked. From my pers...onal point of view it was a successful consultation.

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 consultation with Mr. Jeffrey Brauwerman.

Upon arrival to his office I was very pleased to see how professional the place seemed and I was not wrong with my observation. The employees made me feel quite welcomed and checked in on me as I waited to be seen. Speaking with Mr. Brauwerman was indeed a pleasure. After carefully looking over my ...presented papers he made me feel quite assured that my case was not simple one but also not as complicated as I thought. I wanted the opinion of a former judge and he delivered quite eloquently. I will be hiring him to handle my case because he made me felt comfortable that I will be in good hands.

Consultation Regarding a Recent Interview with ICE.

Excellent, and very helpful consultation with Mr. Brauwerman, I had a discussion with Mr. Brauwerman back in 2014 regarding my citizenship. Due to some trouble with law Mr. Brauwerman advise me to wait five years and not to file citizenship at that moment. I followed his advice. Just recently unfortu...nate I just caught with another trouble with the law again. And I had an interview with ICE this time. Right way I contact with Mr. Brauwerman, he advises me again not too much worried about ICE because these charges are dismissed, but since I had an interview ICE, he advises me to wait for their first movement to see what they do. He was very clear about my situation what probably will happen. And I feel very reliefs to hear from him. He also advises me what to do next. I will be hiring Mr. Brauwerman in 2018 June when I will be eligible for my citizenship, and also if do have any problem with ICE before then, I will have him to take my case. I recommend anyone if they have any issue with immigration problem to hire Mr. Brauwerman without any question. And I thank him very much for his excellent service.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"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."
