Greates Decision Ever

We hired Richard to help us out with my husbands complicated immigration case. Let start off by saying that Richard is extremely professional, straight forward, and knowledgeable about immigration law. He truly cares about his clients. This was not something we took for granted seeing how our last re...lationship with our previous lawyer was 5 years gone to waste. Thanks to Richard and his staff my husband is now a permanent resident and we couldn't be happier.

Best Immigration Lawyer EVER!

I consulted with 5 immigration lawyers before deciding to hire Richard. I am so happy that I chose him. He is the BEST immigration lawyer EVER!!! He explains everything from A-Z & when my husband and I told him to expedite our case, it was done in less than 3 months. My husband got his green card tod...ay, everything approved very smoothly so far & perfect. Richards secretary's are also great as well. Anyone who needs an immigration lawyer, please take my advice & hire Richard he is the BEST & I thank God for him. Great job Richard, & thank you very much!

Highly Highly Recommend Mr. Bracken & Associates

I went to Mr. Bracken after reviewing various offices to fix my immigration status and I couldn't have made a better choice. Many offices either had crazy high fees or rushed through my appointment. From the moment I made my first appointment I felt all the attention was on my case. That is one of th...e main reasons why I hire Mr. Bracken! Throughout the process they were on top of everything, and always ready to answer any question I might have. After a 5 month period my case was finalized and I had a green card on me. I couldn't thank them more for the help they have offered me!! I highly recommend Mr. Bracken, Maria, and Nancy. If you have an immigration matter this is the office you should go to.

GREAT Experience with Mr. Bracken!!

My husband and I hired Mr. Bracken in April 2015 to represent us in our Adjustment of Status case. He was very straightforward, happy to answer any questions we had, and his office was very quick and efficient, making my transition into the US as a permanent resident very quick and painless! From sta...rt to finish, my case only took 4 months! We thoroughly appreciate everything he did for us, and would recommend him to anyone! Thank you for everything Mr. Bracken!! =)

American Dream - Inspiration

Mr. Bracken's legal expertise helped me and my family in so many ways. Not only is he experienced in immigration law, he was always kind and worked personally with individuals. Because of him, I was inspired to pursue a law degree to be the kind of help that he was to me. I start law school this Fall... 2015.
