The worst experience I’ve ever had with an Attourney
This has been the worst experience I’ve ever had with any attorney, I hired Barbara J Brandes on March 31st 2021 I had to do a consultation over the phone where I shared background information with her because I was trying to obtain citizenship she then told me that she deals with case like this an t...
I am very disappointed by this review. This client lives in Texas and therefore asked for a telephone consultation; further he did not fully pay the agreed upon fee to analyze the immigration consequences of his criminal convictions until 6 months after we spoke. As you can see from my other reviews, our office strives to help everyone who is eligible for relief. We are very honest, treat everyone well regardless of skin color, are highly recommended by persons from many countries, and are the go-to lawyers in the Liberian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Nigerian, Ghanian, Guyanese, Bangladesh, Ecuadorian, Mexican, Dominican Republic, Colombian etc communities. Unfortunately what some persons do not realize is that the most important time to hire an immigration lawyer is while the criminal case is going on as judges are often willing to settle on convictions that would not have immigration consequences; further criminal convictions often have immigration consequences even after a person has "paid their debt to society". I apologize for being very frank with this client who I asked for the missing disposition of one of his arrests before I could absolutely advise him of his eligibility for citizenship; however he got very angry with me and falsely accused me of doing nothing on his case; thereafter I sent him many pages of my progress notes to prove the number of hours spent analyzing his case. At the end of my transmittal, I offered to continue representing him after he sends me the missing disposition.

Poor quality over all
She was not clear from the beginning about anything. We gave over $30k to her. At the end we got deported. She doesn't speak without money at all. Barbara herself has a nasty attitude and her assistants catch one time to time. She and her staff still are reaching out to us about this case. What lawye...

Bad communication and poor lawyer services
We had a terrible experience and would never recommend her service to anyone. She took our money and dod not give any help, she was unwilling to do any research and charged more then 1k usd for 1 email. I would not recommend in anyway to do business with her!
"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."
