John Broyles is one of the three founding partners of Broyles Kight & Ricafort, PC.  John has acquired experience in a variety of legal areas, including immigration, litigation, and computer law, but he has dedicated a substantial portion of his practice to immigration law and assisting foreign nationals with numerous legal matters.  John also is well versed in the interrelationship of technology and the law and frequently lectures to both members of the bar and business community on these topics.  John also has worked extensively at combining immigration law and technology to create an advanced Internet Business Application for the management of an immigration practice.

Of particular importance in Johnís practice is representing students during the transition from student to a temporary non-immigrant worker and eventually a green card holder.  To facilitate this transition, John is one of the first attorneys to develop a cost efficient prepaid plan specifically focused upon the needs of foreign students.  John's immigration services also include preparation and submission of applications for nonimmigrant visas such as the B-1 (business) or B-2 (visitor), TN (Trade NAFTA), H-1B (foreign professional worker), L-1 (intracompany transferee), student and investor visas, and all the various applications for permanent resident status ("green card"). He also assists small and multinational corporations with hiring or transferring professional personnel and assists hospitals and medical graduates with securing waivers of foreign residency requirements.  Counseling on personnel decisions, employer sanctions, asylum and refugee applications, deportation proceedings, travel documentation, anti-discrimination and job contract issues is also available.

As a result of the technology developed by John, the firmís immigration practice is nationwide, with clients throughout the United States and overseas.

In addition to assisting clients professionally, John serves on the board of Pompeiiana, a non-profit organization dedicated to the study of classics at the primary and secondary level and volunteers Sunday mornings serving food at the Damien Center for the homeless.  John also is active in his neighborhood association and works with other community groups.

John graduated from DePauw University and received his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis.  He and his wife, Angela, live in Indianapolis with their son and two Great Danes.
