Resident Card

Mr. Bracken is a good attorney and he gives it to you straight after you discuss your case and he will let you know what your options are. I decided to hire him and his team for my case, his cost is very reasonable and they are with you every step of the way. My case took approximately two years from... start to finish. Most of my involvement was with Maria, so my review is mostly based on her work. I only dealt with Mr. Bracken a few times and they were all positive. I can definitely saw without a doubt that Maria is the head of the operation. She is beyond amazing and even though she is extremely busy I was always able to get in contact with her via email or phone to get an update on my case. She honestly carries the same stress as the client in some levels because she's in charge of putting your whole packet together for everything that you need. I had the most pleasurable experience with my case and with Maria, she honestly did an amazing job, I came into my interview feeling confident in the work that had been done and in the preparation that I had received on what to expect. During my Juarez visit I had no issues and everything was so correctly organized and well prepared that I hardly was asked for anything from my own packet because everything was already in the packet that was sent to the Consulate. Thanks to God and this amazing team that Mr Bracken has, I was able to get approved for my Resident card. I highly recommend Mr. Bracken and his team for all your immigration needs. They are beyond professional and will be there with you every step of the way until the end of your case. I look forward to the day when I apply for citizenship.

The Best Immigration lawyer in town

Mr. Bracken and his team have been nothing but AMAZING!! We started our process with Mr. Bracken a little over a year ago. Since we had our first meeting with Mr. Bracken until now everything moved really fast. He was able to get our parole in place, our work authorization, and now our permanent resi...dence within a year. We are really grateful to Mr. Bracken and his great team, Maria and Nancy. I highly recommend anyone who is in need of a great lawyer to give him a call and make an appointment today. He's honest and straightforward. Thank You, Mr. Bracken & Associates, for your time and dedication to our case!

Very Honest and friendly

I hired Mr Bracken due to having possible issues with my renewal process for work permit and future immigration process. I was skeptical about meeting a immigration lawyer because until I met Mr. Braken, my thought about immigration lawyers were all liar and fraud. However, when I met Mr Brake...n, I felt very comfortable to trust him, he is very honest, he is very caring, he is very friendly, and his staff were same as Mr.Braken as well. Past 10 months, it was really hell for me which made me go into depression as well, but with Mr Braken and his staff's help, I was able to get on my feet again and give me hope for the future. If you are looking to hire immigration attorney, DO NOT hesitate to go visit his office for free consultation and even hire him to represent you. You wont regret of your choice.

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!

Case approved

My case wasn't moving for about one year due to false information given to me by an immigration consultant/lawyer who was lacking knowledge. After my case has been denied, I have decided to go to Mr. Bracken. It made a difference like night and day. Mr. Bracken is very knowledgeable, he was able to a...nswer all my questions, he gave good advice that made a lot of sense, he had certainty all along the way and he really cared about my case. A few weeks later my case has been approved. Also, Mr. Bracken is affordable. A top notch lawyer, I highly recommend him.
