Excellent service

I have worked with Me. Bracken for the past 8 and he helped me with my DACA and more recently with my permanent residency through marriage. He instilled a lot of confidence and peace on my husband and I by prepping us and helping us through the almost 18 month process. We will continue to recommend h...im to friends and family or anyone that needs help with immigration and we will come back in 2024 when I get ready for my naturalization!

Great Professionalism

Great personality, I would not do it without him, Mr Bracken. He is very well informed about immigration cases, I could tell his professionalism since day one. He devoted as much time as I needed to explain to me in details everything I needed to know and documents I needed to prepare. I had so many ...questions and concerns that would make a person crazy, but he had a positive and motivational attitude, which made me believe that everything is going to be fine. I would give him 10 stars if I could. His, assistant was very nice. He responded quickly to my email, phone call and if I needed a schedule an appointment. He always had time for me.

Truthful attorney

My experience with Mr. Bracken is limited to an in person consultation regarding a citizenship application. He review my documents, made a short analysis of my case, listened to my input and comments, and gave me the facts and helped me with follow up questions. Will definitely hire him when ready to... apply.

Excellent

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Mr. Bracken. He represented me and fought for me in deportation removal proceedings and was there also when I got my citizenship. He was very supportive every step of the way. He's an excellent attorney. Him and his staff are the best!

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.
