Awesome

Barbara helped my wife get her Green Card. I must say that we also like to thank Marcela her associate for all she done for my wife in preparing her for her Interview. Everything went well all paperwork was complete. I have already recommended her to a friend.

Miracle Worker!

Barbara is an Immigration Lawyer with a deep understanding of how the system works. She knows her laws, how things should go and can point out any errors that the system makes. My father's case was looking bleak when we went to Barbara for help as the system made an error and he received a summons fo...r deportation. Barbara acted and did a lot of work behind the scenes to turn that around and my dad ended up getting his residency. As long as you communicate with Barbara, she is responsive and will get back to you. Highly recommend her services!

A truly Super lawyer

I know Barbara and her team for a little less than a decade. That is right! It took almost 10 years to land in the green card for me and my family, our paths crossed out and for us was a miracle, I lost the count of how many consultations I had before finding our super lawyer. It was THE light at the... end of the tunnel. A very, very complicated and challenging case was what Barbara managed. She took control and guide us to go through different phases; extending our visas, deferred action, explaining circumstances beyond our control, work permits, and finally, the green cards. 10 years ago deferred action wasn’t popular at all. I highly recommend Barbara, she is smart, experienced, knowledgeable, her team is the best, and she looks for experts' opinions if she doesn’t have the answer right away. I saw it, and I can tell. You will be in good hands. THANK YOU BARBARA!! PS. In her team, there are native Spanish speakers.

The best

Barbara is the most knowledgeable attorney in this field. She was recommended to me by my business partner. She took care of his case in the 90's. My case was a petition for my spouse. It took me over 2 years because I had to redo a previous divorce however everything Barbara advised us to do was on ...the money. Excellent work by Barbara and her team. I am a CEO of a Municipal Construction Company and I would highly recommend Barbara to all my friends and colleagues.

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."
