Hired Attorney 2004-2005I had terrific experience working with Bruce A. Coane on my daughter Green card petition. Bruce suggested an optimal avenue to proceed and all the process was brought to a successful end just in several months. He and his team were very responsive throughout the process, patiently explaining all details and minimizing the stress. G. Itskovich
