Everything i wanted to know about my case,,she said,,,everything is easy,,and i have to consult to the internet when i wanted to know about my cuestions,,everything went wrong...after the interwiew im still waitting for the green card, im understand that its not her fault,, i have to move my case wit...h another attorney because to me she is not competente to handle it. Also she is busy with another bussines (ambit energy). She was suposse to prepare us for the interwiew and she didnt right, she play a video of ambit energy, i was having alots of cuestions about the day but she just said everything is easy easy,,,we waste our time and of course our money. In the interwiew day she was 20 min. Late and she didnt had any id...she said im using that as an excuse but i thing as a profesional you have to have with you an ID that way you can show to the imigracion officer who you are..

Doesn't care for getting results for you, as long as her fees are taken care of, she'll do the motions needed but doesn't care for the outcome as long as she's paid, and if you want her to stick around until the end, everything is a separate service and a different fee. Doesn't even know who she's ta...lking to or what case it is about, she's just communicating the services you'll need and how every one will be a separate fee, even if they have nothing to do with your case. Extremely apathetic, no empathy towards clients just the money. Whatever gets her they money the quickest and then sooner she can stop dealing with your case the better for her.

This was when Lisa worked for Angela Brown's firm. Angela Brown was the one who did my consult and was excellent at her consultation. She offered a free consultation and made me feel like she would handle my case effectively. She was who I hired, or thought I hired, but Unfortunately, she was never ...the one on my case. The case ended up being handled by another attorney Lisa Okoh-Brown (who I believe no longer works at the firm). My case was a potentially very strong case yet nothing was done with it. Overall, I ended up paying about 15,000 dollars. There was only one hearing and one mediation which Lisa attended. After that, nothing else happened on the case. To save money, I even filed my own discovery and responded back to the opposing attorney's discovery. Even after doing my own discovery, they subtracted another $2,500 to review the discovery that I did only to make one or two corrections... I DID my own discovery and they charged $2,500. I brought this up with Angela Brown and she reviewed what happened. She stated that she would reimburse me the $2,500. That came with a catch... I had to put another $5,000 in as a retainer and then she would essentially add the $2,500. I told her I cannot afford to fill up the retainer fee again and asked if she would be able to just do more work on my case and subtract from the $2,500 she would reimburse me for. She said she could not do that. I asked if I could at least get back my$2,500 if she was going to withdraw. She stated that she could not do that... I spent 15,000 on this firm just for them to withdraw because I could no longer fill the retainer fee to keep them on my case. 15,000 that literally went to nothing. Lisa made me feel like she was on the opposing side. Whenever the attorney would call or email Lisa, not only would I be billed thousands for that, she would call me and tell me to stop what I was doing. She didn't bother to hear my side out and assumed the opposing attorney was telling the truth. I grant the opposing attorney the benefit of the doubt because he was probably being misinformed by his client. Lisa has no excuse. Lisa would speak in a condescending way every time she spoke with me. She was billing me so much because of her ineffective communication with the opposing attorney that I asked her to quit speaking with the opposing attorney unless we had mediation. The opposing party is a millionaire and part of their strategy was to just bill up and up until I couldn't afford representation. I made this known to Lisa and she informed me that she could not ethically cut off communication with the attorney. I told her not to cut off communication but just don't speak on the phone unnecessarily since we were clearly at a point of disagreement and nothing would be settled until mediation. She told me that she did not think she could represent me anymore. I brought this up with Angela Brown, her boss as the time, and Lisa ended up telling Angela that she never said such a thing. Luckily the phone calls were recorded and Angela apologized for what Lisa said. However, that apology did not come with any reimbursement. Lisa attended one hearing and one mediation. However, she made me drive an hour away for mediation only to make an excuse that she could not make it and ended up doing the mediation over zoom. I ended up having to represent myself for the remainder of the case.

Obviously this is my opinion, but this woman would not even address concerns or questions I had until I filled out some stupid questionaire. I'm suppose to waste my time on her B.S. but can't have a simple question answered. She was very rude. Her "bedside manner" was seriously lacking. Unprofessiona...l. You can find better attorneys, don't settle for this. I had no choice but to fire her. Useless.
