Experienced, efficient and very personable immigration attorney, highly recommended

It is my great pleasure be able to fully endorse, recommend, praise and put in a good word for Mr. Richard Bracken and associates when it comes to all areas of immigration into the United States of America. Mr. Bracken and his associates are experienced, highly efficient and very knowledgeable about ...immigration law, the workings of the USCIS and have experience with all sorts of issues that might occur during the process. I was fortunate to utilize Mr. Bracken for our family based visa and without hesitation retained his office for our I-751 visa two years later. Even though we reside on the East coast, it was very easy, like working with a local office; Mr. Bracken’s office provided swift and to-the–point guidance conferences during the lengthy processing time and our journeys outside the US, and today I am standing here with a huge smile on my face, holding a precious green card surrounded by family and friends! Yay! Mr. Bracken and Associates were our natural choice for the naturalization process and I can recommend their services without hesitation. Our profound thank-you to Mr. Bracken and Maria!" -Christina, Isabella, and Bob (Permanent Residency granted (10/11/2010)) (Removal of Conditions granted (09-20-2012))

Mr. Trustworthy

My family shall always be grateful to Atty. Bracken. He is both a friend and a confidante. He treated our immigration status as his own. I never felt uncomfortable and uneasy unlike some lawyers I dealt before. He is sincere and talk straight to you. His staff are professionals and knows you by names... which are great asset to Atty. Bracken. He helped my children to get their permanent visas, He helped my son be released from El Centro in just two weeks after ICE detained him and now he got his work permit and soon will have his permanent visa. My family owes him a lot. Now, we don't live in fear because we know Mr. Trustworthy is in our side. I give him five stars.Thank you very much.

Amazing lawyer that really cares about you and your family

Attorney Bracken is a lawyer anyone can trust. He will go above and beyond to help you legally obtain proper documentation. He helped me obtain my permanent residency card and work authorization shortly after I was married to a citizen. He made it easy to understand and helped me prepare for all tha...t was required. I would recommend his services to my friends and family.
