601 Waiver approved

Our 601 waiver for misrepresentation was non winnable case in our mind after talking to 4 different high priced immigration attorneys on Wiltshire Blvd and Pasadena. None of them want to work on our waiver, because we could not provide evidence they need to win the waiver. Mr.Bracken accepted this ch...allenge at much less fee. He will sit down with you, go over the evidence and draft the documents together with your input. He is very friendly,open to suggestions, easily available for an appointment with short notice. His fee is very reasonable.His secretary Maria is very pleasant. Amazing, excellent. Appreciate way of working, dedication to work, respect to client. We got i-601 waiver approval due to your handwork and thorough knowledge of immigration laws and procedure. Thank u sir, awesome experience with you and your team more than our expectations.

Quick Adjustment of Status with Mr. Bracken

After countless searching and shopping for the best price my wife and I were burnt out. From day one Mr.Bracken and his staff were diligent with our case. Usually it takes about 7 months for the process of status to change but because all of the paper work was done swiftly and professionally my wife ...received her Green Card in 3 months. I highly recommend Mr Bracken and his staff. They are very professionally and Mr. Bracken is a gift lawyer. Thank you for everything

The American Dream

Choosing Mr.Bracken and his staff as my immigration representatives for my case; was the best decision my husband and I have ever made.I am tremendously grateful to Mr.Bracken and his staff for making my dream come true.They helped the procedure go very smoothly.Mr.Bracken and his staff are the most ...professional and efficient personnel that a immigration client can ask for.Maria is always willing to go the extra mile on anything and everything that the client is in need of. From your first conversation with Mr.Bracken, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. And there was never a complaint from his staff. They were always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of hundreds of clients. That’s right, the Law Offices of Mr.Bracken has gained a reputation as the “go-to” firm for immigration cases. Mr.Bracken believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country He always has the time to listen to my concerns, and always finds a way to make me feel better! I could not have gotten through the process if not for their emotional and legal support!” Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God Bless you and your staff~

The best!!

I am absolutely thankful to Mr.Bracken he's done such a great job! He helped me and I will never forget that, every time I succeed in life im going to thank him for that. I had spoken to a few immigration lawyers; lawyer's that their job was to find a way to help me. Some of them charged for consult...ation and did nothing, no one ever did. Mr. Bracken is honest and helpful. I've recommend so many of my friends and I've received great feedback. I greatly recommend him if you have any immigration matters. He is the best!
