Going through the immigration process is very stressful, but with the help of the Richards and Jurusik team they were able to ease that stress immensely. They were able to hand hold me through the entire process so I didn't have to worry about a thing. The entire experience was great and I would … More recommend them to anyone needing their services as it takes the burden right off of you. Thank you!!

We came to Richards and Jurusik wanting two things: expertise and professionalism. We got both, in abundance. Their command of immigration law was evident in every conversation - they anticipated scenarios, explained the reasoning behind each step, and were candid about what was and wasn't within … More their control. Nothing was ever hand-waved away.
Just as importantly, the process was managed with real discipline: clear expectations up front, prompt and substantive responses throughout, and meticulous attention to detail on every document. We never once had to follow up to find out where things stood.
Jeremy and his team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Our application was approved, and we'd recommend their services without hesitation.
