Barbara J. Brandes

I feel like Barbara is like my mother. She held my hand at immigration court and she cared for me through the whole six-year process. I am so relieved and so thankful. I want Erin my shoes to be able to have someone who cares as much as Barbara. I left off a prior marriage on my initial immigratio...n forms so the government was holding up my case. Barbara figured it out and fought for me.

I had an exceptional experience with attorney Barbara Brandes. My case was complicated because I had a criminal case from 20 years ago, which prevented me from applying for US citizenship. I traveled, and I was detained and prosecuted. Attorney Brandes removed me from detention and appealed until the... judge ruled in my favor and ended my proceedings based on legal representation and a memorandum of law. Attorney Brandes has incredible knowledge of immigration law and over 40 years of experience. She always made sure I understood her every step and her team also provided clear guidance. Thank you with all my heart and on behalf of my family for bringing us peace and happiness. I highly recommend Attorney Barbara Brandes the best immigration attorney.

In 2018, I appeared in front of immigration where my asylum status and work permit were taken. I had a previous lawyer whom gladly took the money but did not do any work to help appeal the decision. From 2018 up to the present time, 6 long years, I was unable to work since I no longer had my work p...ermit. I have had great support and help from friends, family, church members to raise funds to obtain the money needed for application fees, documentation and the previous lawyer. Since then I have been working diligently to obtain all the necessary documentation and complying with all the requests by immigration. Fast Forward to May of 2023, all documents were certified and received by USCIS. After months and months of having a pending status, with zero ability to speak with a representative at their office, I was getting frustrated since there had not been word regarding the status of my case. I met Barbara Brandes unexpectedly and our paths were meant to cross. She heard my story and the length of time it has taken for my case status to still be pending. She immediately got involved and was calling immigration to find out why my case was at a standstill. Come to find out it was all still pending because my medical documentation was not even attached to my case because it was sitting in the mail receiving, an entire year later. Then in two weeks’ time she was able to get my case resolved and now I have my green card!

My immigration journey was an uphill battle due to the 5 different unprofessional law firms I went through which added up to 2 decades of unsuccessful applications! The first day I met Barbra I felt so relieved! She truely knew what she was talking about in regards to my case and what need to be d...one! Before leaving I just remembered saying to myself she is the One! After two decades of seeking assistance and finally achieving success truly speaks to her dedication and expertise in the field. Her unwavering support and commitment to my case are commendable, resulting in a successful outcome after such a long journey. My perseverance coupled with their guidance undoubtedly made a significant difference, and I'm glad I found the support i needed in my immigration journey. Thank you Barbara and Luciana

I’ll start with apologizing to Barbara it took me a little time before I wrote this review. I was just processing what happened. I am on seventh heaven. I am not an Illegal alien anymore!! After 29 years living in NY, being married to American citizen, giving birth to 2 American citizens, broth...er and sister American citizens . Thanks to Barbara and her fantastic team, Jossity and Brian, 9/20/23 is for me second best day in my Life. Barbara is pettit, but fierce woman. When she sets her mind on something she doesn’t stop until she does it. I meet her after I went through a few very good lawyers( people who recommended them said that). But this other lawyers didn’t help me , but made wrong by me. They didnt see what Barbara did see. And they weren’t that driven as she was( she still is). They don’t put their heart in it. And that’s why, I had to Look somewhere else. I found Barbara. Highly recommend by another happy client. She is an amazing immigration lawyer. When you talk to her you can see how much she loves her job, and how much pride she takes in every case she closes and set people like you and I on the path to citizenship. ( when she got news from the immigration court, they granted my motion to reopen case, she and Jossity danced out of happiness) I highly recommend Barbra and her team for all your immigration needs. They are the best! Barbara is the best! My miracle case is a proof ! Xxx
