Thank you to Richards & Jurusik Immigration Law for helping me secure my TN visa. I had an outstanding experience working with the firm on my application. My primary attorney, Brandon Beasley, provided exceptional professionalism, clarity, and expertise throughout the entire process. He guided me … More step‑by‑step, prepared every document with precision, and made a complex process feel organized and manageable.
This wasn’t a stress‑free process for me — securing my TN visa meant a great deal, and I felt the weight of it. But Brandon’s consistent support, clear explanations, and steady guidance helped me navigate that stress with confidence. He always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner, which was a tremendous blessing during such an important moment in my life.
I also want to thank Jeremy Richards for his oversight and leadership. It’s clear the firm operates with a high standard of excellence, and the quality of their work reflects that.
If you are seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and results‑driven immigration representation, I highly recommend Brandon Beasley and the team at Richards & Jurusik. Their expertise made my TN approval smooth, efficient, and ultimately successful.

As someone who has navigated multiple visa processes and worked with a number of immigration attorneys and firms over the years, I can say without hesitation that this has been the best legal experience I have ever had.
Previous engagements left us frustrated with poor communication, slow response times, … More and far too much of the work falling on us to manage. This was different in every way. The team was professional, highly responsive, detail-oriented, and incredibly diligent in assembling a complete visa package under significant time pressure, completing everything within a matter of days. And remarkably, all of this came at a very affordable cost with exceptional value for the level of service and expertise provided.
The result was a successfully obtained visa and a process that, for the first time, felt truly handled. I could not be more grateful for their expertise and care. If you want things done right and done quickly, this is your team. I recommend them without reservation to anyone navigating the complexities of immigration law.
