More than excellent

Attorney Kathryn Russell is a wonderful example of how a great honest successful lawyer should be. Through my case, I found her to be sharp, smart, considerate, rapid responder, kind, caring, and hard worker. I highly recommend her as a very skillful immigrant lawyer. I was told one thing before d...ealing with her ( you are in good hands) and here I am repeating the same words for anyone who decides to use her services , you are in good hands. No matter how hard your case is, one thing for sure, Attorney Kathryn will do more than her best. I would also like to thank her excellent assistant Alexis, she is simply great paying a lot of attention to every detail, she was very quickly aware of every angle of the case, very smart, hard worker and cooperative. I am sure she has a great future ahead of her.

Help with I-130

Katie and her paralegal assistant Tiana, are beyond amazing. They worked quickly and were very detailed when rebuttaling my case, after leaving the office and reading thier response, to USCIS, for notice of denial of my change of status. I felt a huge relief that I finally had a professional caring l...awyer on my team. Who had my best interest at heart. I highly recommended her and her assistant to handle any matters relating to immigration matters. They helped me win my case and I am truly greatful to them.

N-400 Denial/Appeal/Approved

Our nightmare started after my fiancé attended his N-400 interview. Weeks later after been told that his decision couldn't be decided at the time of the interview, we received a letter asking for other documents that were provided but the case was denied.(Failure to provide consistent information). A...t this point we had done all the process with out any legal help or advise (which in the future I will never recommend doing) I had called several lawyers for advise but none of them gave me the confidence of taking the case for an appeal. Then I heard about Robert Brown Immigration radio advertisement and I decided to give them a call, Kathryn Russell was our last option, she did not hesitate to take on the case. Very understanding, Katheryn and her Assistant were both very communicative through the whole process. Kathryn prepared my fiancé very well for the case, that he felt very confident at the time of his appeal interview. Long story short his case was approved for citizenship and all thanks to Lawyer Kathryn Russell.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

After my husband's and my initial consultation appointment with Robert Brown LLC, Kathryn made it an easy decision for us to hire her as our attorney. She was very professional and honest with the details surrounding the situation, never hiding anything from us, and always maintained a friendly, posi...tive, and compassionate attitude. Kathryn always made herself available to us, via phone, email, and personal meetings, and she helped to put all of our worries at ease. Kathryn was very diligent and proactive while working on our case, making everything go smoothly and swiftly. I would highly recommend Kathryn and the Robert Brown LLC team to anyone in the future!

Absolutely Amazing!

I had an amazing experience! Attorney Katie Russell was the best. My fiance and I met with her in early Aug to discuss our options. I was in an F1 visa and currently on my OPT. We discussed what options can keep me in the United States and what course of action would work best for our situation. Atto...rney Russell was very helpful, described every scenario truthfully, answered all of my questions (which I had many). I am prone to being nervous when it comes to my status (rightfully so) and wanted to do everything legally. Attorney Russell was great, did not rush us out of the office but, answered every question, gave us all the time we needed and more! She was understanding and kind. Every time we discussed our case she replied truthfully, quickly and was always reassuring us everything will work out. I don't know how I would have been able to accomplish this without her. It took approximately from late Oct to late Feb to file and receive my Green Card. It was quicker than we expected. She went with us to our interview and had all our documents ready in case any surprises accord during the interview. She was with us every step of the way and even when we received the card she was still in touch to make sure we were doing well. All in all I would recommend Attorney Russell to handle any immigration case! I will most definitely be in touch when I will need any continued immigration matters.
