I am in the Army Reserves and was getting deployed; I have my family overseas, (the Philippines). I paid an attorney, (Off Duty Military JAG Officer) up front to start processing my family’s immigration papers and he had promised me that by the time I return from my mission, my family will be here in... the USA. Before I left, my wife told me that she was pregnant and we are having a baby.
During my wife’s first trimester she was diagnosed with the measles, and she had a high chance of losing our baby. My wife did have our baby, and the baby had some problems with his heart, issues with his lungs, and he is deaf. I must pay for all my family’s medical bills with cash because; the Military Medical Insurance will not help us with their bills.
Our son was born and I was able to get leave from this deployment, to see him at one week old in the Philippines. Five days later, I was returned back to the overseas mission and tried to focus 120% on the mission. It was hard not to worry so much about my family in the Philippines. A month after I had left my family I was injured overseas while performing a secret mission.
The Military kept me overseas for 7 months later within these 7 months my injuries got worst. Then I was sent to the Wounded Warriors Project in the United States where I am currently getting treated for my injuries. One day while sitting in my room, I had time to search the internet between doctor appointments to try and get information regarding my family’s immigration papers. Until I found the website Avvo, and I had sent several messages to different attorneys, while wishing and hoping one attorney will reply. Less than 8 hours Attorney Robert Brown LLC returned an email asking more details about my issues. I replied quickly with the information he requested, then Attorney Robert Brown called me less than a couple of hours where we spoke to get more details. The most important question I had for Attorney Robert Brown was if there was any way that his firm is able to do the filing for Pro Bono, because I was in the hospital for an injury that had occurred overseas during my deployment. Since this deployment, I am receiving 3500 dollars less per month then my Civilians Career. On top of that, I was returned back to the USA where I actually got 700 dollars less in pay. Without any hesitation, Attorney Robert Brown agreed with the Pro Bono request, I was ecstatic.
The following day Katie Russell and Kristen Cione from Attorney Robert Brown firm had contacted me, to introduce themselves as the ones who will be assisting me with my family’s immigration papers. My comment to them was they were very fast in contacting me. In the first week, Katie Russell and Kristen Cione did more for me then the attorney from the Military JAG Officer I had paid.
Attorney Robert Brown LLC and his staff are very professional, courteous, and they take allot of pride in the work they do. One of the most wonderful things I do like about Attorney Robert Brown’s Firm is that his staff members are very good listeners and are genuinely caring people. Being part of the Wounded Warriors Project is mentally challenging because, the things that go through my head, I think about my family, ongoing medical issues my son is having, the method of my injuries during this mission, and finances. Attorney Robert Browns staff members are very approachable and understanding. If it was not for Attorney Robert Brown and his staff, I do not know where I will be mentally at this moment. I really would like to thank them for everything they are doing for us. When I email them, they reply in a timely manner, I will call them they will always answer and even on days that they are not working I will still get an email. I never came across any company that will made me feel like I am their only personal client or a best friend.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Attorney Robert Brown
