Amazing

**5 Stars - Highly Recommend Barbara Brandes!* I had an amazing experience working with Barbara Brandes as my immigration lawyer. She helped me successfully obtain my green card through marriage, and I couldn’t be happier with her services. From the very beginning, Barbara and her team made the ...entire process much easier than I ever expected. She was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and always available to answer my questions. Barbara guided us step by step, ensuring every detail of our case was handled with care and precision. Her experience and expertise gave us confidence, especially during the interview stage, where her preparation really paid off. Thanks to Barbara's hard work and dedication, my green card was approved without any issues. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure success. Thank you, Barbara! I want to give also huge thank you to Luciana, the paralegal who worked alongside Barbara Brandes, for helping me get my green card through marriage. Luciana was always there to assist with the paperwork, answer questions, and make sure everything was organized and submitted on time. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and quick responses made the whole process so much easier. Luciana’s support was invaluable throughout the case, and she played a crucial role in our success. I truly appreciate all her hard work and dedication. Thank you, Luciana, for being such an incredible help during this journey!

Barbara Brandes Dedicated , Diligent & Trustworthy

Application for Greencard. I believe it was fate and faith that led me to come in contact with Barbara Brandes. Literally heard about her from a Pastor and his wife. I had tried other recommended lawyers who not only provided misinformation on my case but also were not working on it. I decided to ...work along with Ms Brandes and she was to the point with each step from the beginning. There was much progress and results within a short period when I got my work permit and social. I am thrilled to say that some months later, with trust in God and an excellent lawyer I was able to obtain my Greencard. I know that if there is a case with one single shot or way for success , this is the lawyer to get it done. Wise and knowledgeable with no fraudulence involved. Her husband is also very welcoming and helpful to deal with along with her other staff. Thank you so very much Ms Brandes.

Excellent

The service in terms of keeping on top of my immigration case from first visit to the interview with the embassy was very meticulous. They communicated with me via emails and phone calls letting me know what to expect with every step. Got assistance with uploading documents to my portal. Couldn't ask... for a better lawyer. Thanks so much to Barbara and Luciana ❤️❤️

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."
