Ogor Winnie Okoye's Natural Sagacity and Perspicacity!

I surely need not mention again that to have had Attorney Okoye's aid in the ejection of a very cruel,unreasonable,and oppressive Immigration Challenge was the greatest collateral help ever extended to me. I was agreeably impressed with her shrewdness,humor and natural sagacity;and her generous hu...manity to the miserable is almost beyond example. I am glad she is an Advocate.I think nothing morely likely to make her life pass happily away,than that consciousness of her own merit,which eminence in her profession will certainly confer. She possesses a great share of manly and ready eloquence;is quick in discerning the strength and weakness of an argument. Her known character as a lady of extraordinary sense and unimpeached virtue,she expresses herself with clearness and precision,and she fears the face of no man alive in the courtroom.She endeavors to oppose without exasperating,to practise temporary hostility without producing enemies for life. She is capable of the greatest application,and can undergo any degree of labor,where she sees it necessary,and where her heart and affections are strongly engaged.I securely depended on her doing,upon every proper occasion,the utmost that could be expected from her. For these reasons,I humbly apprehend that Attorney Okoye and her firm,Bos Legal,would continue to be a very able and useful instrument unleashing justice;one client at a time.I must repeat,that I wish most heartily to see her succeed in all her undertakings!

Fantastic Attorney!!!

From my first contact with attorney Ogor to the very last stage, I have been very pleased and satisfied. After our first consultation, I was confident I was in the best hands. She is experienced, very knowledgable, very professional, down to earth, patient, always provided answers to my numerous q...uestions and never made me feel I was disturbing her with my numerous calls..lol. (I did call her a lot). She always responded to mails and calls. She was there through out the process and would always provide updates at all stages of the process. I remember her meeting up with me during off hours to accommodate my schedule just to ensure we go over the paper work for accuracy. I must add that I appreciate the fact that she was very clear, and honest. Never gave false hopes and made sure what was at stake was understood. She was very supportive, very positive and her positivity is very contagious..lol I could go on and on..but if you are looking for an experienced, capable and result driven attorney, look no further. She is the best in books

A great advocate who fights from the hearth

Attorney Ogor took a case I sent to her a year ago. The case was complicated and the family I sent her thought they had no hope of getting their green card. They went to other attorney's before and was told either to give up or was given false hope. Finally attorney Ogor took the case turn it around... and the family end up getting their green card. I recommend attorney Ogor for any client out there who might be in a situation where they believe that their case has no hope. She is a smart attorney who knows the law well. But most of all she cares, she cares for each and every client with sincerity. Knowing the law is not enough for an attorney a great attorney advocate for each and every client from his or her hearth with care. Attorney Ogor is that attorney who will fight for every case from the hearth with care. I recommend her with confidence to everyone out there who need a great advocate.

Takes the Challenge

She took my case though others felt it would be time-consuming and would be hard to win. She gave me sound legal advice and supported me emotionally through the stress of the legal process. She was always optimistic and available. She won my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
