An experienced litigator in immigration courts, Bradley is well-known in the community as a passionate and persistent advocate for immigrants' rights. Whether in court or in the office, he is keenly aware of the challenges faced by immigrants and patiently helps them find solutions to their complex cases. While often daunting and confusing, these obstacles can usually be overcome. The two most frequent questions Bradley is asked are: “How do I become legal?” and “What can I do to avoid deportation?” After meeting with new clients for the first time, Brad offers a realistic and comprehensive perspective on these questions. His deep empathy helps him communicate with clients in a way that diminishes anxiety and inspires confidence.. In 2016 he was a named a Super Lawyer. His expertise has also led National Public Radio, WUOM, to count on him as an authority on recent changes in immigration law.. Bradley was born in South Africa and immigrated to the United States when he was 5 years old. He arrived in the U.S. with his parents on the QE2 (Queen Elizabeth II) boat from the UK and distinctly remembers being very self-conscious about his British accent -- so much so that he refused to go to any birthday party with his classmates until he “kicked” his accent. He incessantly watched Sesame Street and practiced, out-loud and in front of the television, how to speak “American” English. It was only when he was able to speak proper “American” that he felt comfortable. Bradley also remembers telling his classmates that he was born in South Africa, to which they asked if he was black — a question Bradley later posed to his parents, wondering if, in fact, he was "African-American.". For the past decade, Bradley has worked with people from every continent, facing myriad challenges. He works tirelessly to hold families together and to reunify those who have been separated. He also specializes in assisting individuals facing detention and deportation and those immigrants who may have committed crimes while in the United States

Shahid Haque dedicates his practice to helping immigrants obtain legal status in the United States and pursue all that the country has to offer. Mr. Haque assists clients with a wide variety of immigration matters, including applications with the consulates abroad and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, representing clients arrested by the Department of Homeland Security, and defending immigrants in deportation proceedings in Immigration Court.. Mr. Haque has represented over a thousand immigrants and their families all across Montana. Mr. Haque helps clients with a wide variety of family and employment based visas. He has won asylum for over twenty refugees who fled from their home countries to escape torture, persecution, and death on account of their political or religious beliefs. He has also won cancellation of removal for numerous clients in contested deportation proceedings — one of the most difficult forms of relief to win due to its high burden of proof.. Mr. Haque has advocated for immigrants’ rights by bringing lawsuits in state and federal court to challenge unconstitutional laws and policies that discriminate against immigrants in Montana. He successfully challenged LR-121, an anti-immigrant voter-approved referendum, and thanks to his efforts the law was found unconstitutional.. In 2013, he filed a class action lawsuit against the Montana Highway Patrol to challenge its practice of detaining Latino drivers and passengers solely for the purpose of checking into their immigration status. In 2015, he prevailed with a judgment in his favor. Under a new policy, troopers cannot ask about immigration status based solely on a person’s race, ethnicity or language abilities. Nor can they demand drivers or passengers tell them their immigration status or detain people who choose not to answer. Montana is now one of the only states with a clear policy prohibiting this conduct.. In November 2016, Mr. Haque won a settlement of $125,000 against Jefferson County, Montana on behalf of a Mexican immigrant who was sexually assaulted while in immigration custody in that facility..

In 2010, Mr. Haque trained at the Western States Center’s Community Strategic Training Initiative in Portland..

I have always had an affinity for the immigrant experience. I'm sure it stemmed from the fact that I am a first-generation American and often heard stories of how my parents came to the United States. I saw, firsthand, the joys and struggles of my uncles, aunts, and cousins as they crossed over and adjusted to their new lives.. When the Bosnian crisis blew up, I was at the forefront, making calls, writing letters to legislators and volunteering my time at the first-ever Bosnian Refugee Center. My passion ignited, and I know this is what I wanted to do. I visited Pakistan and volunteered in Afghan refugee camps and interviewed trafficking victims at the International Human Rights Institute. I researched, learned from the best and persevered.. Like all good stories. my path was circuitous. I graduated from law school and instead of pursuing immigration law, I joined an estate planning law firm. I wanted to develop a good base outside of my comfort zone and still have time to pursue international human rights. I did both, even though they seemed to be polar opposites of each other. Now, my estate planning background has sustained my desire to help people. I counsel families on how best to protect their assets and provide for their beneficiaries.. And for my immigration clients, I advise them on the tremendous need for powers of attorneys and guardianship of minors in case they are ever removed from the United States. I do this while still advocating for them in removal cases, before ICE or USCIS and helping them gain the legal status they deserve.. I love speaking and writing about my fields of practice and consider it a privilege to learn from others while also empowering them to know their rights.. My law practice is so much more than just a law firm. It's a family and a team that will stop at nothing to help you achieve your dreams. We don't take no for an answer and consider every obstacle to be a challenge worth overcoming.

I have been representing clients in immigration matters since my days as an associate at a small Houston law firm. By the time I opened my own law office in 1983, my immigration practice was growing rapidly, and within ten years all but a few of my cases were in this field. I have seen many changes in immigration law over the past three decades, some for the better, some not, but what has never wavered has been my dedication and commitment to my clients. I have made it a hallmark of my practice to render personalized service to each and every client. My team and I take great pride not only in the successes we have achieved over the years, but most importantly in the differences we have made in the lives of those we have represented. Our expertise extends from temporary work visas, to permanent residence through both employment and familial relationships,through the defense of individuals in removal proceedings, especially those seeking protection from human rights abuses in their home countries. Whatever your immigration needs, we look forward to being of assistance to you.
