Barbara is a great lawyer

Barbara made it happened, when for 8 years I had another lawyer who did not do anything for me except taking my money. At that time, my Greencard application was denied. After contacting Barbara, she cleared my situation in less than 2 years and got me the Greencard. As today. I have a Greencard free... to work anywhere in the US. She gave me the best advices when I was in the worst situation. Barbara cares about people and that is what make a big difference in this world. Thank you from me and my daughter Lilou. A bientot.

I recommend hiring B. Brandes

Prior to meet and retain Mrs. Brandes few immigration attorneys I had contacted, would not take my case for some existing background complications. A distinguished peer of her, finally suggested me to see her as she was, in his opinion, the only qualified counselor that could honestly and competently... manage bring this case to a fruitful conclusion. When I met her, she gave me a one to one experience that other firms did not provide, regardless of how much money they would have charged. From the beginning she showed deep knowledge of the immigration process, some degree of compassion to my ordeal and assured me that she would be able to personally assist me and manage my situation. Mrs. Brandes and her staff provided a conscientious follow up, went through a thorough and extensive legal research in order to find the appropriate legal basis required to support my petition, and, to my complete satisfaction, within the time frame and conditions she predicted, she helped me become a US citizen. I recommend hiring Mrs. B. Brandes as an immigration attorney regardless of how complicated or compromised your case may be.

Incredible Attorney

Barbara J. Brandes is a very knowledgeable attorney. Not only was she able to help me removed the condition on my green card at a time when things were very complicated and I almost gave up, but also got me my citizenship application approved - 3 years with I-751 waiver, even when USCIS previously de...nied me. Wow! I feel very happy hiring you. Thanks to you and your associates.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Barbara J. Brandes is one of the top immigration lawyers in New York City if not the entire country. She is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and is active in the community. She volunteers for numerous pro-immigrant groups providing free consultations and legal advice to those who cannot afford to pay for a lawyer. She practices all areas of immigration law and is known and respected as an expert in the field. In my 5 years working with her, she took on numerous difficult and complex cases and won countless cases using her advanced experience in the field, unique, advanced, and creative legal arguments, and her never-take-no-for-an-answer attitude. No immigration lawyer will fight harder for a client than Barbara, and no lawyer will "give it to you straight" the way Barbara will; never giving a potential or current client false hope but always basing her theory and predicted success rate of the case in her experience and also reality."
