Well Versed Immigration Attorney

I heard about Ms. Brandes from my mother who was listening to a radio program talking about helping immigrants. Couple years later I contacted her office for a consultation. I chose to use her for my case because Ms. Brandes, during our consultation look at case law to ensure that the case will be ap...proved. My case took two years to process because I went against her advice to file concurrently instead of separately. Ms. Brandes worked above and beyond so that my case will not get denied after I did not give her documents that were requested in a timely manner. Ms. Brandes, her Associates and office staff were very competent, proficient, professional, experience and knowledgeable with Immigration law. I am grateful for the hard work she has done and I am now a legal resident of USA. I would highly recommend Brandes and Associates.

A+ Excellent Lawyer

I was referred to Barbara Brandes and cannot complain she is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile for you. Barbara's only request to tell the whole story and stick to the facts. If ever there are hurdles she finds the way to accomplish the tasks. My case was very long and tedious but patience a...nd perseverance is the key. She used all her resources to fight for you. Her utmost goal is success and favorable outcomes.If ever there is a lawyer that works on your behalf and some how with her experience she is able to make the impossible POSSIBLE. She is very straight forward and she continues to find ways ultimately with positive results. I am forever grateful for her services with her team and highly recommend Mrs. Brandes services she will fight for you until the end.Thanks for all your help.

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.

Experienced and effective lawyer

I am a colleague of Ms. Brandes. I have an immigration practice. When I need to refer an immigration case to another lawyer, I often refer cases to Ms. Brandes. She is an able and experienced lawyer with whom I trust my reputation.

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."
