Est. 2012
With years of experience, Attorney Hans J. Bremer founded Bremer Law & Associates with a bold mission: to serve Providence’s growing community of undocumented immigrants who were living in fear and struggling to access legal protection.
He left his role at a prestigious Boston law firm and opened a modest office in Rhode Island, driven by the belief that legal representation should be accessible, empathetic, and effective. What began as a solo practice quickly grew into a trusted legal team serving clients across the country.
Bremer Law became a place where people could feel heard, understood, and powerfully represented.
