Best results!

Attorney Ogor and her staff are most professional and reliable team you could ever hope to work with! They take the time to explain the process of each step, provide enough education, and show a seasonal understanding of immigration system. Their due diligence of my mother's application expedited th...e decision and in record time resulted in an approval! Don't think twice call them today!

Posted by Juliana | August 29, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

Dedicated Attorney

Dedicated Attorney I heard about Okoye through a family friend and my problem dealt with adoption. Since 2019, my husband and I have been trying to adopt our little girl from Nigeria and after everything was done, (the visits, bonding, application, etc), we got a heartbreaking letter from the USCIS ...saying that they did not find our adoption to be legitimate. This broke my heart and almost destroyed me because we had spent a lot on this international adoption. But as God willed it, Attorney Okoye came to the rescue. She was very compassionate, and caring and she listened and heard me! The way she updated me constantly and fought for me and my husband to get our little girl back was just short of a miracle. She is very resourceful and very dedicated in her work. All I did was just give her the necessary information and she did the rest. Now our daughter is here with us and it is all thanks to Attorney Okoye. I have already recommended her to a friend who is going through the same problem and I trust she will also excel with her case. Thank you so much for giving me my little girl. God bless

State case

Winnie did an excellent job with my case with the State. She was open with communication and she was an excellent attorney for me, service was fast and efficient. I would hire her again if need arise and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney.

Posted by Foluke | February 07, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Divorce Case

Attorney Ogor is well learned in her area of expertise. She’s very direct and straightforward, she advised me on the way to go on my case. I hired her, she helped me with converting my annulment to a divorce. And I wanted it quick just to move on with my life. She displayed professionalism during the... court hearing and my divorce was approved.

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.
