Provides honest feedback about your immigration case and will fight for you

I first consulted Ogor Okoye in 2014, when I was working on my VAWA case. I've always found her to be frank in her assessment and, although I did not retain her to file my application, her feedback was helpful in guiding me through the process. I trust her assessment thus, I've recommended h...er to individuals dealing with there own challenging immigration case. When it came time for me to file for citizenship, having returned to live in Massachusetts, I gladly retained her services. She thoroughly prepared me for the interview process and it was a breeze. To anyone dealing with the immigration system, I highly recommend this skilled immigration attorney and she's quite personable too.

A friend of mine introduced me to Mrs Ogor for my greencard process. I will say shes one of the best immigration lawyers in Boston. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest and cares about her clients. I always reach her on phone or email, and she return my calls and messages promptly. I greatly ap...preciate all your help and I would definitely recommend Ogor to anyone planning to go through the green card process. You will not be disappointed.

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.
