My husband & I are truly grateful for the assistance of Brian and Nikki from the start of our filing process until the very end. They were meticulous, and straight forward which we appreciated throughout. Their expertise made our what could have been a rather stressful experience a lot less scary. Though we we're in processing for a while( esp b/c of COVID) Brian and Nikki always kept in touch and made sure we were comfortable at every stage. All questions and concerns where responded to and met with reassurance and good insight. We couldn't have chose a better team to help us and would recommend them to anyone who may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. They get the job done! Thank you both again. **Husband Entered US : 2-22-2022

Brian and Nikki are both very professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Going through an immigration matter is a highly stressful process for most. I am very grateful for their support and guidance through this process, they made me feel very comfortable and at ease. My case took longer than expected and there were some roadblocks but they were so extremely helpful and responsive throughout the whole process that I was optimistic for a positive outcome, and so it was!

Brian Richards and Nikki (secretary) are an amazing team! I would definitely recommend them to any DACA recipient!!! As a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient they were able to process my renewals everytime without any issues. Eventually, my wife and I applied for U.S. Residency Green Card through his law office. Upon receipt of my appointment at the US Embassy in Mexico, Brian was very detailed in making sure we knew what to expect and the documents to bring with us for the appointment. This was very important as several others doing the same process, arrived to their appointments without copies of their needed documentation. I talked to a few individuals that had to call their lawyer to get the documentation and their lawyer charged them additional fees. We did not have any issues because Brian told us to take everything with us. The more paperwork you have the better. Even if you dont think you need it! Its better to be prepared. Lol. Including our immunizations. I made sure to get them all in the U.S. so I didnt have to pay in México. I noticed a lady had to get all of them because she did not have proof, which cost roughly about $1,000. We had everything needed so our trip to complete the final steps in the US residency process went flawlessly thanks to Brian! Costs were also very clear throughout the whole process with no surprise fees for the USCIS/lawyers office. His office was always available via phone, email and even in person to answer questions or concerns. Big THANK YOU to Nikki as well for helping us contact the USCIS office when they would take longer than usual! We will continue to work with Brian and his law office for any future needs! Thanks again for all your help!!!

Brian Richards and his secretary Nikki were a fabulous team to work. My husband was a DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipient and we applied for his U.S. Residency Green Card through his law office. Everything went as planned and at each step of the way, Brian and his team was very thorough in giving us direction on how to fill how paperwork/documents and after each submission of documents copies were sent directly to our home address as well for our own folder to keep. Costs were also very clear throughout the whole process with no surprise fees for USCIS or his office. His office was always available via phone, email and even in person meetings to answer questions or concerns as well which was always appreciated. Upon receipt of my husband's appointment at the US Embassy in Mexico, Brian was very detailed in making sure we knew what documents to bring with us for the appointment. This proved to be very important as several others doing the same process as my husband, arrived to their appointments without copies of their needed documentation. We did not. We had everything needed so our trip to complete the final steps in the US residency process went flawlessly! We will continue to work with Brian and his law office for any future needs!

My husband, Ron, and I needed to file for his green card and with all the paperwork to do ourselves, we were pretty daunted by it all. Brian was a recommendation from a friend and we decided to go with him after a quick consultation call! Ron and I lived in West Michigan when we began our filing process. We ended up moving to Seattle and had kept with Brian for the remainder of our application process. My husband and I had waited for about 1 1/2yrs to finally receive our green card interview and Brian was there to help with any questions we had along the way. (We ended up officially filing for the green card just before Covid hit so everything was delayed). Brian was always knowledgeable about any questions on the process and was always kind to us. We would certainly recommend him to anyone else in need of an immigration lawyer!

We hired Brian right before the pandemic and when things began to close down his team was with us all the way. They were patient and had multiple meetings with us to answer all our questions and quell our worries and concerns. Nikki and Brian responded immediately to all of our emails and followed up with everything. I would highly recommend anyone to go with this team!

When I decided to apply for my green card, my husband and I were initially working with another attorney who gave us confusing information, conflicting directions and poor communication. We then found Brian through a family friend who had so many great things to say about his service! So we started working with him and were surprised by him and Nikki’s efficiency, clear instructions and assurance for our application process. Our process went smoothly and my green card approval happened faster than expected, despite some delays we were expecting within USCIS. Definitely recommend Brian for any immigration application, excellent guy to work with!
